What's so smart about SMART pumps?

» The smart pump's "brain" consists of a customized drug library, transforming the IV into a powerful computer that sounds the alarm at the first sight of medication problems.

» They are future-ready. As drug standards change or new medication comes on the market, we can update our pumps, keeping current with the best practices in the world.

» They can read barcoded labels on an IV bag and on a patient's wrist band to ensure the right patient gets the right medication, in the right way, at the right time, every time.

» They can connect to WiFi networks, enabling a physician's order for IV medications to be transmitted directly from the pharmacy to a patient's bedside.

Almost every patient who visits the hospital will need an intravenous (IV) infusion pump at some point during their stay. Whether it's delivering life-saving medication or providing key nutrition and fluids, IVs are critical to good care.

Right now a new generation of IV pumps called "SMART" are revolutionizing patient care at hospitals around the world.

But to give our patients access to this incredible technology, we need your help.

Each SMART pump costs about $10,000 and we need 1,600 to outfit our hospitals adequately.

The timing couldn't be better – our current pumps are almost a decade old and urgently need replacing.

To help your hospital purchase SMART pumps and deliver the most advanced, safest care possible, please donate now.
