Why Safety, Reliability and Ease of Use are Critical

Simplicity Promotes Safety

If a pump is overly complicated to program, nurses say it’s more difficult to learn and use, and that puts patients at risk.
The B. Braun Outlook® keeps it simple and safe to minimize the chance of programming errors or caregivers who find a workaround. For example large color screen for easy viewing, color-coded key pad and audible key clicks make the device easy to interact with.
The pump design allows quick and easy drug selection in DoseGuard ™ using an alphabetical drug matrix.
Because manual entry is an opportunity for errors, B. Braun offers a design that eliminates the numeric key pad that is often the source of dosing errors.
The availability to view infusion pump data in real-time allows quicker identification of trends and practices that need to be changed.

B. Braun has developed smart pumps that enhance safety by decreasing the amount of steps necessary to program an infusion using the drug library.
The user interface design fosters use of the drug library on every infusion making workarounds more difficult.
Open architecture enables hospitals to get up and running in a matter of days, not months.
Quick clamp design makes it easier and simpler to attach a pump to a pole.

By using the barcoding feature integrated into the infusion pump, manual programming errors are avoided and help ensure the right medication is given to the right patient every time.
Flexible barcoding options allow patient matching and dual clinician confirmation of critical drugs and many other ways to use barcoding to match desired workflows.

Design of pumping mechanism has provided safe and long-life reliability in hundreds of hospitals.
Product is designed for transport, providing years of rugged use in all clinical settings and delivers high up-time value.
Modular design facilitates simple and quick repair and preventative maintenance.
