IMMAGES™  is an ideal system to use when performing intravenous drug trials. The system is designed to assure strict protocol adherence leading to fewer protocol irregularities and higher adherence. This, in turn, results in better trial subject retention, better data, and cost savings. The many benefits of  IMMAGES™  as a tool for use in clinical trials are outlined as follows:

Better Protocol  Compliance

• System’s Forcing Function requires SOP adherence in order to administer meds
  • Assures: Right patient, Right drug, Right sequence, Right day, Right dose
• Specific protocol nuances implemented by HHD and controller
  • Specific protocol nuances built into software app
  • Prevents i.v. administration of “forbidden” drugs
  • Controls duration and rate of infusion
  • Protocol-based drug library with dosages for test drug
  • Randomization code and dosage adherence and documentation built in

Point of Care Electronic Recording of Bedside Events

• Start and termination of infusion recorded automatically
• Identity of qualified/authorized caregiver recorded and assured
• Adverse effects recorded
• Vital signs entered p.r.n.
• Comments recorded

• Alerts nurses when flow rate outside pre-set parameters
• Alerts nurse when infusion completed
• Reduces nursing time/costs
• Infusion rate control

Permits distance monitoring of many patients simultaneously receiving infusions

• One HHD can monitor many patients

Retains Gravity I.V Infusion Approach

• Short learning curve
• No potential pump problems
