The Delphi IVantage™ Infusion Pump is a winner of the Medical Design Excellence Award in the general hospital device and therapeutic product category. According to the award press release, this programmable infusion system incorporates a rotary cassette as an anti-free-flow protection device.
From Delphi Technologies, Inc., a Troy, Michigan company, the maker of the device:
The Delphi IVantage™ Infusion Pump is a portable, simple-to-use rotary peristaltic volumetric infusion pump that weighs only 13 ounces (including battery). Yet it performs competitively with products many times its size and weight. It is fully configured to send and receive data over the Remote Device Connectivity network…
The unique design of the IVantage™ Infusion Pump allows IV solutions to be administered consistently and accurately across a wide flow-rate range (0.1 ml/h to 999 ml/h). This is achieved by using a precision disposable rotary peristaltic mechanism that also does not require any specific orientation to the patient or to the fluid source. Multiple alarm capabilities and software control parameters can be selected by clinicians to support specialized therapies…
The pump can be powered using a standard AC adapter or a built-in, rechargeable battery (up to 22 hours on)-providing flexibility and backup capabilities for enhanced ambulatory use. It can be easily toted via a shoulder strap or belt clip, thus increasing mobility for patients at home…
In addition to portability, the Delphi IVantage™ Infusion Pump sports a host of innovative features and benefits. The disposable, integrated compact rotary mechanism and infusion set facilitates an easy-to-prime, sterile, and closed connection between the electronic pump and the patient. The infusion set also incorporates an innovative sliding mechanism to help prevent free-flow whenever the set is removed from the pump. The rotary mechanism incorporates a transparent case so that actual roller operation can be viewed during the infusion process.
