Patient Safety

Q Core’s advanced technology and infusion pump design, with its exceptional ease of use and numerous built-in safety features, safeguards patients by helping nurses ensure safe administration of drugs. 

• The underlying smart technology of Q Core’s pumps minimizes dosage errors and false alarms.
• High accuracy of ±2.5% (compared to typical accuracy of ±5% or ±10% of other volumetric infusion pumps) ensures the administered dosage precisely matches the prescription for each individual patient.
• The full-color touch-screen and software design enable intuitive programming and operation, with minimal steps.  
  • Nurses can easily see vital clinical information and parameters, such as the mode, drug, dosage, time remaining, and more. 
  • Adjustments needed in the event of alarms can be made quickly and easily.
  • The most frequently used functions can be quickly activated directly from the main screen in just a few clicks, ensuring safe and easy operation.
• Numerous built-in sensors and alarms constantly monitor infusion delivery and activity, and as necessary issue messages and alarms or halt operation. This helps ensure safe treatment and also protects the pump mechanism from failure and damage.
• Q Core’s administration set includes a unique administration cassette with an anti-free flow valve (AFFV) that ensures medications flow only in the correct direction at the correct, controlled rate.
  • The cassette allows the same administration set to be used for pump and gravitation delivery as well as allowing manual priming 
  • The ability to use the same administration set for both pump and gravity infusion without disconnecting the patient from the administration set reduces infection risks.

Additionally, the small size and light weight of Q Core pumps further protect the physical safety of both patients and caregivers. The risk of injury in the event a pump falls on a patient or caregiver is minimized; and maneuvering a pole that holds multiple small-format Q Core pumps is easier than moving around a top-heavy pole with multiple large-size volumetric pumps attached.
