- A compact, lightweight infusion pump designed for delivering a wide range of intravenous and enteral fluids and medications in various clinical settings
- Versatile device used across acute care facilities, including ICUs, NICUs, PICUs, emergency departments, and during patient transport.
Uses
- Its primary functions include:
- Volumetric Infusion:
- Precisely administering large volumes of fluids, medications, blood and blood components, or Total Parenteral Nutrition
- Complex Therapies:
- Supporting various therapy modes such as continuous, intermittent, PCA (Patient-Controlled Analgesia), TIVA (Total Intravenous Anesthesia), and piggyback infusions
- Pediatric and Adult Care:
- Safe for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients
- Versatile Environments:
- Designed for use as a standalone device, within a bedside stacking system (SpaceStation), and is MR-conditional when used with the appropriate accessories (SpaceStation MRI)
Features
- Compact & Lightweight Design:
- Weighs just 3 pounds (1.4 kg), facilitating easy transport and efficient use of space in crowded clinical environments
- Intuitive Interface:
- Utilizes a consistent, non-numeric keypad and clear display across all B. Braun Space pumps, which helps reduce staff training time and minimizes programming errors (e.g., zero vs. decimal mix-ups)
- Anti-Free-Flow Protection:
- Incorporates both pump- and set-based mechanisms to help prevent the accidental free flow of medication, a key safety feature
- Extensive Drug Library:
- Capable of storing up to 1,200 drug names with customizable hard and soft limits, as well as clinical advisories, enhancing medication safety
- Flexible Power:
- Runs on a rechargeable NiMH battery with a life of up to 8 hours at 25 mL/h, allowing for patient mobility and transport within the facility
Benefits
- Improved Patient Safety:
- The comprehensive drug library and non-numeric keypad design help prevent medication errors. Safety mechanisms like anti-free-flow protection provide peace of mind during infusions
- Increased Workflow Efficiency:
- The standardized, intuitive workflow across the Space platform reduces training burdens for staff, allowing for more time focused on patient care
- Enhanced Mobility:
- The pump's lightweight, compact nature, combined with long battery life, ensures continuous care during patient transport, even in challenging environments
- Versatility:
- The ability to stack up to 24 pumps in a single bedside tower allows the system to adapt to varying clinical demands and space constraints
- Data Integration:
- Wireless connectivity and EMR integration automate charting, reducing manual entry errors and providing real-time data for quality initiatives
