Smiths Medical's new Medfusion 4000 wireless syringe infusion pump with the PharmGuard infusion management software suite has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Medfusion syringe infusion pump with PharmGuard medication safety software is a smart infusion pump that has wireless and wired Ethernet connectivity for drug library, syringe and firmware management.

The Medfusion system with wireless connectivity capability allows hospitals to capture many types of infusion data.

The PharmGuard infusion management software suite allows for simple, easy reporting of this data for evidence-based practice improvements.

The wireless system also updates drug libraries on pumps which improves both clinical care and patient safety by allowing quick and easy wireless update of pumps.

Smiths Medical Global Product Management VP Tommy Johns said they are excited to bring this new system to market and provide customers with the convenience of wireless transfer of infusion information using their Medfusion and PharmGuard systems.
