InfuTronix
Nimbus Ambulatory Infusion System
A new take on the
traditional pain
pump, the Nimbus
system lets
providers delay the
start time of the
infusion therapy so
the pump is not
working while the
initial regional
block is still pro-
viding analgesia. A countdown clock lets patients know when the
infusion will begin, but they remain in control of the pump and can
abort the delay and start the infusion if breakthrough pain becomes
more than they can handle. Delaying the start to infusion therapy
could limit the amount of pain medication needed in the pump and
ultimately lead to cost savings. Perhaps more importantly, it shows
patients that you're interested in extending the duration of post-op
pain management for as long as possible.
This pump also lets you capture objective infusion history. At the con-
clusion of therapy, patients send the pump in a prepaid envelope to
InfuTronix, which downloads the therapy data to a cloud-based data-
base with the goal of showing facility leaders, physicians and payers
that patients recover faster and better when regional anesthesia is used.
