Safeguarding Prostacyclin/CADD Pump Administration

Forums: 

Hello everyone,

Our institution has encountered several reported errors related to the programming of CADD pumps. Because this is a low-frequency but high-risk workflow, nurses often feel unsure or unfamiliar with how to properly program the pumps.

I’m reaching out to see if other health systems have implemented any specific safeguards or best practices to support safe administration and reduce the risk of error. Any insights, tools, or workflows you’ve found effective would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Subcutaneous treprostinil infusions via Remunity Pump

Forums: 

For hospitals that accept patients with actively infusing subcutaneous treprostinil infusions via Remunity Pump and allow patients to remain on the subcutaneous infusion during their admissions, I am looking for insight on how you support refill needs. Here are some targeted questions:

1) Does the inpatient pharmacy prepare/fill Remunity Cassettes?
--If no, how do you support patient refill needs?
--If yes, see question #2.

2) Does the inpatient pharmacy prime the Remunity Cassette and infusion tubing?
