As dedicated nurses, your primary focus is always on providing the best possible care for your patients. In giving this care, the process of preparing IV medications can often occupy a significant part in your daily routine.2,3
Here are some common pain points you might encounter:
Time-consuming processes: Preparing IV medication involves multiple steps, including calculating dosages, mixing, and ensuring sterility. This can take up to 30% of your time.2,3
Risk of errors: The complexity of the manual preparation process increases the risk of medication errors, which can have serious consequences for patient safety.
Sterility concerns: Avoiding microbial contamination during the admixture process of IV medication is crucial but at the same time challenging, especially in a busy hospital ward.
Complexity in storage and handling: Manual medication preparation often involves a large number of products. Proper storage and handling of drugs and admixture supplies requires additional time and resources, adding to your workload.
Save time
Faster than manual mixing due to fewer handling steps and less preparation time.
Save products
Eliminates the use of needles, syringes and medication vials.
Reduce risks
Reduces the risks associated with the manual medication admixture process, like chemical contamination, needlestick injuries, microbial contamination and medication errors.
Imagine a solution that could alleviate many of the well-known challenges of IV drug preparation and administration and allow you to focus more on patient care.
Ready-to-administer injectable medications offer these important advantages to you:
Time savings: With pre-prepared medications, you can significantly reduce the time spent on medication preparation, allowing you to focus more directly on patient care.
Enhanced safety: Ready-to-administer IV solutions can substantially reduce the risk of medication errors, ensuring that patients receive the correct dosage every time.
Improved sterility: The products are manufactured under strict sterile conditions and come in a ready-to-administer format. Manipulations are considerably reduced and consequently also the potential risk of contamination.
Simplified storage: Ready-to-administer injectable medications come in convenient packaging, making storage and handling easier and more efficient.
A wide portfolio of ready-to-administer injectable medications is available in the Ecoflac® plus Closed System IV Container. By eliminating the conventional manual drug preparation process, the ready-to-administer format makes it possible to reduce risks and complexity, and helps users save time for their primary goal: patient care.
