Editor's Notes
Infiltration- A dislodged needle which allows a fluid compound to be infused into the soft tissue surrounding the vein
Normal saline
Extravasation – A dislodged needle (infiltration) which allows a vesicant (corrosive and toxic) compound to be infused into the soft tissue surrounding the vein
Examples of vesicant compounds
Valium
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN)
Most chemotherapy compounds
Using proprietary technology, replicate the trusted practice of venous blood visualization.
If an infiltration is detected, the IV line is fully occluded until a clinician responses at the patients bedside. (preventing the potential of “free-flow” and further complications)
Allow the clinicians to program the frequency of automated blood visualization in a user friendly device, based on infusion compound, infusion rate, and patient conditions
