Ivenix Infusion System

Infusion pumps are among the most prolific medical devices in hospitals today.

90% of patients admitted to a hospital are administered an infusion. The Ivenix Infusion System was engineered from the ground up to help address critical challenges in infusion delivery. The heart of the product is based onits proprietary pneumatic pumping technology that allows for adaptive control of fluid output. This can help relieve the nurse from the burden of worrying about where the bags of medication are hung… at the pole, above the patient, etc. The design also addresses the concern of the free flow of medications.

The developers didn’t add a new pumping technology to an older platform. They started with a clean sheet of paper and sought to tackle critical infusion challenges. In many cases a hospital will assign multiple full-time employees to the task of taking care of infusion pumps. The Ivenix pump is deployed in a hospital and doesn’t need scheduled preventive maintenance.* The only anticipated reason it may be collected would be for the repair of physical damage, while every other software update is wirelessly sent to the pump. Another benefit of this technology is that it self-calibrates with every infusion rather than requiring an engineer to test and calibrate it away from the bedside. This task is required every year for most other pumps on the market. The exterior is made to withstand constant cleaning with harsh chemicals, and the handle is made of metal.¹

The user experience with the pump is driven by a smartphone-like touchscreen with a large, full-color display. The pump hardware and software designs are the results of a decade of evidence-based product development and over 400 hours of nurse user-based usability studies.2

Lastly, the pump has optional integration with electronic medical records (EMRs) using workflows designed in collaboration with the leading EMR vendors.
