Infusion and Nutrition Systems
Fresenius Kabi offers a range of infusion device systems and accessories to suit all clinical applications across the modern hospital. The systems are composed of stand-alone pumps (syringe & volumetric) which can be connected via common hardware to work in unison and minimise clutter around the patient. The pumps are also able to be used in mobile and ambulatory settings within and outside the hospital. Among the many features that our pumps offer are:
The OCS System
The occlusivity check system (OCS) is an auto-test on each start-up that checks the correct working order of the pump in association with the silicone segment of the administration set to prevent free-flow. The validity of this combination is tested whenever a new set is installed by performing the OCS test.
Medication Error Reduction Software
This software allows the clinician to select and work with drugs that have been compiled into a library by the hospital according to specific protocols and limits.
Common User Interface
By using similar keys and symbols across each of our infusion systems, the clinician is presented with a familiar user interface for each type of device they are using.
Intelligent pressure management
Special sensors in the pump measure the pressure on two points of the silicone segment. Both upstream and downstream occlusions occurring in the line are detected enabling safe pressure management via several different clinical modes including the Dynamic Pressure System.
Infusion Disposables
Fresenius Kabi can provide both dedicated infusion sets for our infusions systems and also a range of general IV disposables suitable for a range of clinical applications.
Our pump-dedicated IV and infusion disposables offer the following features:
- Needle-free ports
- A range of filters
- Rotating luer connections
- Automatic flow stop
The safety clip automatically clamps the line during abnormal operation or upon removal from the pump to avoid any risk of free-flow when the door is opened and when the set is removed.
- Non - DEHP
All Volumat Lines contain less than 0.1% phthalates (DEHP) according to regulation (EC)1907/2006 (REACH) in order to limit patient exposure to the components of the plastic materials.
- Latex – free
All lines are free from latex in order to limit patient exposure to the components of the plastic materials. There is no risk of latex migration into the vascular system of the patient during the IV treatment.
Fresenius Kabi has both PVC free and PVC sets for use with a variety of drugs and solutions. Please contact your local Account Manager to discuss which set may be appropriate for your use
- Flow rate range
The design of the silicone segment of some of our lines enables flow rates from 0.1ml/h up to 1500 ml/h.
- Colour-coded pump insertion
The set connectors have the same colour and shape as the dedicated slots in the pumps for installation of the set.
Our general IV disposables cover many areas of intravenous therapy preparation and delivery. They include:
- IV sets for gravity infusion
- Connecting lines for syringe pumps and IV lines
- Needle-free ports
- Connectors and manifolds
- Spikes and filters
- Safety needles for use with implantable ports
