Infusion Therapy Innovation Is Urgently Needed
Smart infusion pumps are widely regarded as the standard of care in infusion delivery. However, many infusion errors continue to occur despite their use.1
1.2M
hospitalizations per year are estimated to include preventable injectable medication adverse events2
61%
of serious and life-threatening medication errors are associated with IV infusions3
85%
of all medication errors reached the patient when an infusion pump was used for medication delivery, according to one study4

Maximizing Your Investment
Your facility’s investment in the Novum IQ Infusion Platform is maximized with the platform’s breakthrough design innovations, coupled with unparalleled product implementation and software support and maintenance. The leading-edge platform design — with 95% field serviceability — can help reduce cost and downtime.
Modular Design
Streamlines service and maintenance with cost-effective field-replaceable units
Full System Self-Test at
Start-up
Checks system status and provides error or abnormal codes for easier diagnosis and repair
Remote Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Combined with parts ordering, helps reduce maintenance burden
Unmatched Product Implementation and Software Support and Maintenance
The benefits of acquiring the Novum IQ Infusion Platform extend well beyond the bedside.
A Baxter-led Universal Implementation Process (UIP) engages all facility stakeholders and spans pre-implementation planning, drug library build, product training and post-implementation follow-up.
Available to support you beyond product implementation, the Novum IQ Infusion Platform with PartnerAdvantage Services program offers extensive clinical, digital application and training support resources to help you maximize your investment. The program is designed to assist every department engaged in infusion delivery, including nursing, pharmacy, biomedical engineering and IT. Services are tailored to support the Novum IQ Infusion Platform from initial adoption through full integration with your electronic medical record (EMR) system.
Baxter SERVinity Service Solutions is available to support your product maintenance needs. While your in-house biomedical engineers can likely handle most pump servicing needs, this option can provide supplemental support, such as preventive maintenance, an extended warranty, other repair services and spare parts.
DeviceVue Asset Tracking Application: Find the Pump You Need, When You Need It, Without Requiring an External Tag
Nurses may spend up to 1 hour per shift searching for equipment.9 Uncertainty about infusion pump location and status may contribute to staff inefficiency, fleet underutilization and unnecessary pump purchases.
Baxter's DeviceVue application, in conjuction with the tagless location communications capability embedded in every Novum IQ pump, uses your hospital wireless network and floor plan to map your pump locations and provide insight into whether pumps are infusing with color-coded pump status indicators.
Now hospital staff can easily find the right infusion pumps when they need them, and know whether they are available or in use, helping to improve operational efficiency and maximize clinician time with patients.
