Christie and B. Braun recently announced an alliance, whereby B. Braun will sell the Christie VeinViewer® to hospitals in the United States. VeinViewer technology complements B. Braun’s infusion therapy product line by addressing the first step in peripheral IV therapy success by helping the clinician select the best vein for placing an IV catheter.
“As a leader in infusion therapy, we are committed to facilitating the sharing of knowledge between healthcare professionals,” said Tom Sutton, Vice President of Vascular Access Systems at B. Braun. “By collaborating with Christie and offering these programs at INS, our goal is to bring healthcare experts and practitioners together to discuss current issues and advance clinical PIV knowledge that helps to improve outcomes, as well as the quality, efficiency and safety of healthcare delivery.”
B. Braun also will sponsor a CNE presentation for the INS Daybreak Symposium from 7 to 7:50 a.m. on Tuesday, May 9, in Ballroom A of the Minneapolis Convention Center. “Ready for USP <800>? The Next Chapter in Hazardous Drug Safety” will be presented by Shawn Becker, MS, BSN, Senior Director of Healthcare Quality and Safety, United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
To advance USP <800> awareness and education, B. Braun also will feature the new Readyfor800.com website at the company’s booth (#613). The educational resource provides information that will help prepare clinicians for the new USP <800> guidelines that enhance hazardous drug safety for clinicians and patients. Visitors also will be able to learn about the role of a closed system transfer device (CSTD) and the advantages of B. Braun’s OnGuard® CSTD.
Also at booth #613, B. Braun will showcase the pathway and products that can lead to successful peripheral IV therapy, including the Christie VeinViewer (Christie booth #713), Introcan Safety® family of PIV catheters, STEADYCare™ extension set with the Wedge™ catheter stabilizer, Ster-ASSIST™ sterile peripheral IV catheter insertion kit, CARESITE® luer access device, and InVision-Plus CS® needleless connector.
