A Reliable and Accurate System Designed to Improve Patient Safety and Management

Medical errors are the fifth leading cause of death and exact a greater toll on human life than motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer or AIDS. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates the deaths from medical mistakes are growing 1% annually.

A case in point: A 2003 British Journal of Medicine study which observed nurses at work at two UK hospitals, found 265 errors occurred out of 483 IV-drug preparations.
Pro-IV’s system will significantly lower these statistics– and save lives.

Industry At-A-Glance

Pro-IV addresses the infusion and transfusion markets. With over 1 billion infusions in the U.S. alone every year, and more than 3 billion infusions worldwide, the infusion market is a large opportunity. Although the transfusion market is smaller, with 100 million transfusions in the U.S. annually, it is a market that places a very high value on safety and patient identification.
