Cancel No, I am not a health care professional.As hospitals become more reliant on digitisation and technology, EBME and technical departments face an ever-growing need for standardisation, efficiency and reliability, and this is critical where infusion devices are concerned. B. Braun’s infusion therapy solutions can help hospital teams manage their infusion devices and services more efficiently. With remote configuration, open integration and IT support, B. Braun helps to streamline maintenance, reduce manual tasks and improve reliability across every connected device.
Our solutions are trusted by NHS organisations, helping teams improve medication safety, streamline workflows and strengthen governance across every area of care.
EBME and technical teams face daily challenges balancing device maintenance, software updates and system complexity and connectivity, made harder by lack of device standardisation across departments. Manual drug-library updates consume significant resources and increase maintenance costs.
At B. Braun, we understand the issues and challenges that you face. Our goal is to simplify your role by enabling remote updates and unified monitoring. Our fleet management integrates into your existing maintenance systems with connected, standardised technology.
Learn how Royal Free London and B. Braun collaborated on network optimisation, software upgrades, and rigorous validation to ensure zero disruption during smart pump integration.
Explore Integration InsightsMeeting the challenges faced by EBME and technical teams needs people who understand the problems, the solutions and the technology. By working as an extension of your hospital technical workforce, B. Braun can provide you with the end-to-end support you need, from project implementation to ongoing optimisation.
Specialised technical expertise: Our dedicated Clinical IT and Technical Services specialists support seamless setup and third-party integration, along with a comprehensive library of resources.
Infrastructure evaluation: Pre-implementation assessment ensures SpacePlus connectivity across teams and departments.
Dedicated and collaborative project team: Our multi-disciplinary team guides you through planning, implementation and optimisation to ensure a smooth transition to connected infusion therapy.
Structured change management: Support throughout the process, from initial workflow mapping and policy alignment through to post-implementation review.
Continuous partnership: An ongoing relationship providing IT support, remote updates, regular health checks and DERS performance reviews, along with post-implementation audits and optimisation, ensures that devices and systems perform consistently, accurately and safely over the long term.
DoseGuard® Dose Error Reduction Software (DERS): Includes critical error-reduction features such as weight-based limits, titration limits, tall-man lettering and colour-coded ISO alignment. These features are designed to prevent misselection and dosing errors to support patient and clinician safety.
DoseTrac® Analytics: Provides detailed reporting for governance, compliance and performance monitoring, helping organisations track infusion safety and policy adherence.
Advanced Drug Library Management: Reduces variation and ensures compliance through intuitive, centralised tools.
Smart Pump-EPR Interoperability: Enables auto-programming and auto-documentation, reducing manual steps, transcription errors and eliminating documentation gaps.
OnlineSuitePlus: Enables remote configuration, device monitoring and reporting across the hospital network for efficient fleet management.
Ensuring Total Dose: Ensures complete medication delivery and minimises underdosing, meeting intravenous access (IVA) standards for safety from set up to delivery with SafeSet Flush. This is critical, as up to 40% of the prescribed IV antibiotic dose may remain in administration set lines if not flushed⁴.
Training Videos and e-learning: Supports staff competency and improves consistency in practice.
B. Braun’s Infusion Therapy ecosystem delivers measurable return on investment through faster updates, reduced maintenance effort and fleet standardisation. These operational efficiencies directly support EBME and technical teams in optimising resource use and minimising downtime.
Reduces manual keystrokes by
0%
helping to lower transcription errors and save time at the bedside2,5
Improved documentation by up to
0%
per administration3
Enhanced Compliance: Implementing smart pumps with DERS can achieve drug library compliance rates of up to 99.8%6, reinforcing adherence to standardised infusion protocols.
Safety Improvements: Combining DERS with interoperability can help reduce infusion errors and high-risk overrides3, 5, with one paediatric study seeing high-risk overrides fall by 96%.3
Positive Clinician Feedback: 75% of ICU pharmacists agreed that smart pump-EPR interoperability provided value in patient care, with 87.5% reporting more accurate and useful infusion data4.
Collaboration Impact: Partnership driven approaches accelerate smart pump-EPR integration adoption and success rates, ensuring sustained compliance and safety improvements7.
Ensuring Total Dose: Ensures complete medication delivery and minimises underdosing, meeting intravenous access (IVA) standards for safety from set up to delivery with SafeSet Flush. This is critical, as up to 40% of the prescribed IV antibiotic dose may remain in administration set lines if not flushed⁴.
Disclaimer: These findings are based on published research evaluating smart pump technology and interoperability in clinical settings. Results may vary depending on implementation, training, and local workflows.
B. Braun’s infusion therapy service is designed to help your organisation realise these evidence based improvements by combining:
with DoseGuard® DERS
for near real-time insights and governance monitoring
for auto-programming and auto-documentation
