Intermittent secondary or piggyback’ IV infusions are often used for delivery of critical medication but are error prone due to the complexity of the method used by most IV pumps. The CareFusion Clinic team is tasked with designing an improved Secondary IV delivery system that is cost-effective, accurate, and reduces user error.
