With the growing concern around patient safety, caregiver safety and injuries, and reducing hospital costs a new solution is needed for intra-hospital transport. Traditional IV poles continue to feed into an unsafe and costly patient transport process. The Streamline IV Suspension System (ISS) is the solution to safely and efficiently moving patients in the hospital.

1. The Problem with Intra-hospital Transportation and
Traditional IV Poles
1

2. The Pain Point
Hospital caregivers are expected to safely and quickly move
patients…this is what they encounter.

3. This leads to a chain reaction of problems for the hospital, its staff
and patients.

4. More and More Equipment
Medical pumps and monitoring devices have become bigger and more cumbersome and
the IV poles designed to support them have not kept pace.

5. Today’s intra-hospital patient transportation is based off of principals from the 1950’s

6. Strain on Staff
Finite resources are now being used to push patient
equipment.
Sometimes it takes as
many as 4 people to
transport a patient…what
else could this skilled staff
be doing?

7. Negative Patient Outcomes
Bloodstream Infection (IV line pulls)
• IV line pulls
• Increased wait time to receive care
• Increased chance of infection

8. The Problem Creates
• Workman’s comp claim
• Nurse workplace injuries are ranked # 2 in the U.S.
• Inefficient use of staff
• Pulling nursing and other staff away from patients to help
move equipment
• Bloodstream infections
• 250,000 annually in the U.S.
• More than 12% mortality rate
Hospitals have to pay these costs!

9. With rising healthcare costs and limited hospital
resources a solution is needed…

10. The Streamline Solution
The IV Suspension System (ISS) is
an intrahospital transport system for
patient equipment that helps reduce
costs and increases safety in
hospitals
• Supports multiple pieces of patient
medical equipment (up to 8 pumps).
• Automatically attaches, locks and
retracts off of the floor to any brand
patient bed, transport cart, gurney or
wheelchair.
• Equipment is easily transported
hands-free by one staff member.

11. Safer, More Efficient Hospitals
• Increases efficiency
• Creates a safer transport for
staff and patients
• Contributes to reduced costs to
the hospital and patients
Bring the focus back to patient care
