"BD Cato prevented a medication error that could have easily slipped through the cracks . . . [H]ad BD Cato not been in place to make this correction, it would have been easy to miss the odd concentration yielding two times above the ordered dose."

75% of infusion-related medication errors are avoided with interoperability. Only 28% can be averted with dose error reduction software alone.4
IV medication safety from the pharmacy to the bedsidePharmacists can do everything right, but errors can occur at the point of infusion. Nurses can do everything right, but errors can happen during IV compounding in the pharmacy. An estimated 56% of medication errors are IV-related, and 61% of these errors are life-threatening.1 One in 10 complex IVs is compounded inaccurately.2
ONE ERROR is all it takes to cause a potential fatal patient event.
