The Medfusion Syringe Pump delivers blood, blood products, prescribed drugs, and other fluids into a patient's body in a controlled manner. Due to a software error, if a bolus or loading dose is interrupted and a specific sequence of events occurs, over or under-delivery of a bolus or loading dose may occur. 

Please review the huddle card to ensure you:

  • Reviewed and understand the information
  • Will follow the guidelines to avoid infusion administration errors
  • If a potential patient safety issue related to the Medfusion pump is identified, the chain of command will be activated
