Does the Infusomat Space include a drug library?
Contact us about Drug Library. The Infusomat Space supports customizable drug libraries containing up to 1,200 drug names, up to 10 concentrations per drug, 30 drug categories, 50 care units, and 16 patient profiles. Drug libraries include configurable soft and hard safety limits designed to help reduce medication errors.
What are soft and hard limits in the drug library?
Soft limits generate warning alerts that clinicians may override when clinically appropriate, while hard limits prevent infusion settings from exceeding predefined safety parameters established by the healthcare facility.
Do refurbished B. Braun Infusomat Space pumps include a drug library?
Typically, no. Drug libraries are developed and maintained by individual healthcare facilities and are customized to their medications, concentrations, dosing protocols, and clinical workflows. During refurbishment, previous facility drug libraries are often removed, requiring the purchasing facility to install or configure their own drug library.
Can the Infusomat Space operate without a drug library?
Yes. The pump can operate in basic infusion mode without a drug library installed. However, advanced medication safety features, dose error reduction capabilities, and clinical advisories require a facility-specific drug library.
Can Outfront Medical install my hospital's drug library?
No. In most cases, healthcare facilities maintain their own drug libraries through their pharmacy department, nursing leadership, biomedical engineering, and clinical informatics teams. Software compatibility with existing fleets should be verified before purchase.
What infusion modes are available on the Infusomat Space?
The Infusomat Space supports multiple infusion modes, including continuous infusion, dose rate calculations, dose-over-time, ramp and taper programs, intermittent therapy, piggyback infusions, TCI, TIVA, PCA, and KVO functions.
