Why?

There are various examples where adverse incidents, morbidity and/or mortality, can be traced back to poor drug delivery. Consequently, the health community using (multi-pump) infusion technology is in need of new calibration services and improved knowledge and understating of the equipment they are using. Infusion technology suppliers need traceability and lower calibration uncertainties in order to improve their products. Finally, hospital technicians in charge of the maintenance of the infusion pumps need a better understanding of the impact of the physical parameters and need better equipment for their cross checks.
