Each closed system prototype was tested on the MedFusion 2001 syringe pumps to ensure that the pumps did not. alarm when administering a sample medication on the system. After evaluation and modification, a set was selected and. implemented in tandem with the new MedFusion 3500 smart syringe pump on February 16, 2010.

Following the switch to MicroClave®. connectors and the implementation of. a new closed IV system and smart. infusion devices, infection rates were. reduced by 60 percent and medication. errors decreased by 54 percent.

Closed Med System to prevent central line infections. by neonurse12. 3,211 Views 5 Comments. I was hoping that people could tell me what their NICUs use to prevent central line infections (PICCs, UVs, CVLs, etc). A closed medication administration set was an idea my NICU was exploring.

This project implemented and evaluated an electronic system for medication management. The system was implemented in a rural hospital, including automated medication dispensing units, bedside computer stations, three levels of bar coding (patient, staff, and medication), and an electronic medication record.

In the first twelve months following implementation of the new closed IV system and smart infusion devices, the number of. reported medication errors decreased 54 percent. Clinician data gathered during initial testing of the system and the first two.

Observations of medication administration yielded a 45 percent reduction in observed medication errors (from 19.5 percent prior to the electronic system, to 10.8 percent two years later). Staff satisfaction with medication management improved with increased perceptions of the system's ability to improve patient safety.
