Does anyone have any experience / comments regarding this device from either the user perspective or from a technical viewpoint?

Hello BSM, here is a Dept. of medical technics in a prague hospital.

We've got these in our child cardiocenter, in a chronic resuscitation ward and an ER. It is realy imaging, when the drive head moves to ready position for a syringe (allows use 2ml, 5ml, 10ml, 20ml, 30ml, 50m in Perfusor Space) and when the door opens automaticly (Infusomat Space).

Infusomat Space needs its own special IV set (silicon working segment, it is not one of the cheepest). The "new standard is: no more drop sensor", it is only optional, and no more place for a numeric keyboard.

Positives: the small size, similar to Perfusor Space, nice melodies.

Negatives: too many functions ("space nurses must be clever than earth ones" one of earth ones said), sometime the problem with locking the door (the lock is locked, but the door is opened??? - new open of the opened door helps), in my eyes, the smart battery will be problem (who knows SBS for a Viridia bedside, knows what i am thinking. I hope, there will be some BBraun recycling, because in other way it is a heavy duty wasting): Infusomat calls for a battery maintenance in (for example) 2 month intervals (nurse must accept this need and the pump starts one day discharge and charge process - no transport use),

2 events of a locked drive of Perfusor Space of cca 100 devices and 2 years using.

Every keyboard touch must be confirmed by OK button. The pump talks, and talks a lot. "She" asks "her" questions> "Are you thinking about opening the door?, Do you wanna switch me off?" etc.

You need a dockstation for 4 Infusomats (Perfusors) for charging and for holding, or special holder for one pump and a special AC/DC adaptor.

Epilogue: This is the future, but please, let me stay for a little, little while in a presence...and just look at this.

What, even after that glowing report from Jack? It seemed pretty conclusive to me. Wonder if he has anything to add now that another year has passed? smile

Hi BSM,

I agree to the opinion of Jack. The nurses prefer to work with infusion pump FMS or FM of what the Space.
The SPACE is not practises for the day gives it is necessary to answer to many questions before start to work.

Regards,

Oliveira Eugénio

looking at the pictures Geoff kindly supplied and from my own experience the pump is lovely and neat BUT look and the reason why the exposed drive arm is begging to be knocked and broken it offers no protection

When the pump is powered off the drive arm is automatically parked tight up against the pump body in two years of using these we have not had one damaged.
