Baxter Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump

Description

Baxter Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump Features

The Baxter Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump was designed with features to help reduce errors when programming an IV infusion. Seattle Technology gives you the option to choose this smart infusion pump with software version 6.05 or 6.02. At the initial start, this infusion system automatically defaults to using the drug safety library. This drug safety library is one of the leading safety features on the Sigma Spectrum. It is small, lightweight, and easy to use especially with its bright easy-to-read display. The Baxter Sigma Spectrum offers wireless connectivity to integrate data into hospitals’ current EMR systems and facilitate the transfer of data to and from the system for updating drug libraries as well as for continuous quality improvement reports.
The Baxter Sigma Spectrum is an infusion pump with a master drug library. It is intended to be used for the controlled administration of fluids. The intended routes of administration consist of intravenous, arterial, subcutaneous, epidural, or irrigation of fluid space. The Sigma Spectrum is suitable for a variety of patient care environments such as hospitals and outpatient care areas. This infusion pump is intended to reduce operator interaction through guided programming, which helps reduce errors.

Safety

Preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States alone. Safety features are currently and will continue to become increasingly important when picking infusion systems. The Sigma Spectrum helps you make immediate use of a smart pump’s defining safety feature, the drug library. Prior to administration of this drug library and configurable limitations help protect patients from infusion programming errors. The difference with the Spectrum is that it’s designed to drive high drug library compliance from the moment you start utilizing the pump. The pump drug library is updated wirelessly, with no power cycling or staff interaction needed. Although this is not intended to replace clinician-patient observation, this helps make sure the clinician is using the best available data. Sigma Spectrum is the only pump on the market with Dose/Rate change (Titration) Error Prevention. This is designed to intercept changes that could be inaccurate and potentially harmful. This unique feature provides an additional layer of safety parameters to help clinicians protect high-risk infusions.

Technology

Administering, preparing, and documenting IV medication can be a complex proves. The DoseEdge Pharmacy workflow manager and the Spectrum Infusion system each help ensure the Infusion dose is prepared and administered correctly. The DoseEdge Pharmacy Workflow Manager provides visibility to the dose preparation and dispensing process, while the Spectrum Infusion system helps reduce errors when programming the IV Infusion.

System

The intuitive design and mobility of the Spectrum pump work with you and your patients when it comes to your mobility needs. Because of its small size and lightweight, the pump is easy to transport for nurses and patients. The large easy-to-read screen enhances clinical workflow and allows the infusion to be programmed in the drug library.
