Confirm Yes, I am a health care professional. Cancel No, I am not a health care professional.For over two decades, the B.Braun Space® infusion pump system has been a trusted standard in infusion therapy. The Spaceplus platform has built on this to create the next generation of connected infusion technology – it is B. Braun’s most advanced infusion system to date. Spaceplus combines trusted innovation and proven reliability with advanced digital capabilities to meet today’s demands for safety, interoperability and efficiency.
Spaceplus delivers the flexibility and reliability of the Space system while adding connectivity, remote management and real-time reporting, supporting hospitals in moving from analogue to digital infusion therapy, reducing errors, simplifying workflows and improving governance.
The next generation of infusion therapy is about more than devices. Spaceplus unites hardware, software and services in one connected and integrated system that improves medication safety, streamlines workflows, and strengthens governance across every care area.
Enables auto-programming and auto-documentation, reducing manual steps and transcription errors.
Provides detailed reporting for governance, compliance, and performance monitoring, helping organisations track infusion safety and policy adherence for quality improvement.
Studies show that moving from analogue to digital infusion management, including smart infusion pumps combined with DERS and EPR integration, can improve patient safety, workflow efficiency, and documentation accuracy1-3. When these systems integrate, clinical research demonstrates:
Enhanced Compliance: Implementing smart pumps with DERS can achieve drug library compliance rates of up to 99.8%5, reinforcing adherence to standardised infusion protocols.
Safety Gains: Combining DERS with interoperability can help reduce infusion errors and high-risk overrides2, 4, with one paediatric study seeing high-risk overrides fall by 96%2.
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 data3.
Collaboration Impact: Partnership-driven approaches accelerate smart pump-EPR integration adoption and success rates, ensuring sustained compliance and safety improvements6.
Spaceplus is the foundation of B. Braun’s connected infusion therapy. By bringing together the Infusomat and Perfusor specialised pump models, the Spaceplus range meets the needs of different teams and therapeutic areas. B. Braun also provides a complete range of accessories and consumables.
TCI (Target‑Controlled Infusion) for anaesthesia and sedation workflows
PCA (Patient‑Controlled Analgesia) with safety‑focused configurations for acute and postoperative pain management
MRI‑compatible pumps and accessories to maintain continuous infusion during imaging
Oncology‑specific consumables, including dedicated lines and components designed for cytotoxic drug delivery
Together, these supporting products enable consistent, flexible infusion practice across a wide range of clinical environments.
