Low-cost Infusion Pump
Presenter: Amir Genosar, CEO, Fluonic

Infusion pumps are one of the most common therapy instruments in hospitals in developed countries. Pumps keep patients under an accurate medication or nutrition regimen, improve clinical outcomes, and prevent complications injuries and sometimes death from over or under infusion. To meet the safety and reliability requirements, infusion pumps are sophisticated and expensive instruments and therefore are cost prohibitive for critical applications in many low resources settings, contributing to disparities in healthcare availability. For example, the United States alone has an installed base of over 1,000,000 infusion pumps, while India has approximately 50,000 units. Fluonic is developing new infusion therapy system that will improve the availability, affordability, and acceptability of controlled infusion therapy in low resource settings. Fluonic’s infusion therapy system is based on patented, intrinsically durable and precise flow monitoring technology that avoids sophisticated and costly mechanisms, and will be manufactured at a fraction of the cost of current infusion pumps. This infusion system’s superior durability makes it suitable for harsh conditions and outdoor use where normal infusion pumps are likely to fail. Fluonic is currently demonstrating its technology in an infusion therapy environment, and is planning a user acceptance study in low resources countries in 2010.
