Veterinary medicine demands precision, efficiency, and unwavering commitment to patient safety.

As hospital owners, veterinarians, practice managers, and lead technicians, you know that the tools you invest in directly impact the care you provide and your practice's reputation.

Among these essential tools, the AniFM I3 infusion pump is a forward-thinking investment that elevates patient care and hospital operations.

Let’s look at five reasons why choosing the AniFM I3 isn’t just an upgrade but a step toward excellence in veterinary medicine.

1. Patient Safety and Protection

In critical care and routine procedures, the margin for error in fluid and medication delivery is razor-thin.

Traditional drip systems are prone to inconsistencies, and even minor miscalculations can lead to serious complications.

The AniFM I3’s advanced features address this head-on:

Dynamic Pressure Monitoring System (DPMS): Identifies changes in fluid line pressure, providing real-time feedback to prevent complications like occlusions.

Anti-Bolus Protection: Prevents dangerous medication surges when a high-pressure occlusion is resolved, safeguarding patients from risks like cardiac arrest during IV potassium infusions.

Wide Delivery Range: With a flow rate range of 0.1 to 2,000 mL/hr, the AniFM I3 is versatile enough to handle everything from delicate neonatal cases to large animal treatments.

Its adaptability makes it a one-size-fits-all solution that can serve every corner of your hospital and ensures that every patient receives exactly what they need, every time.

2. Comforting Reliability

In busy veterinary hospitals, patient safety is paramount, and so is efficiency. The AniFM I3 infusion pump is designed to reduce risks while making workflows smoother for your team. Here’s a few examples:

Auto-Restart After Occlusions: If an alarm is triggered by a temporary occlusion (like a patient stepping on the line) and the issue resolves itself, the pump automatically resumes operation. This eliminates unnecessary interruptions and minimizes workload for your staff.

Side-Mounted Power Socket: Prevents cords from entering patient cages, reducing entanglement risks and ensuring a safer environment for patients.

Visual Alarm Guidance: Offers clear, actionable troubleshooting tips, enabling your team to resolve issues quickly and accurately.

These features help give your team peace of mind in high-pressure situations.

3. Enhancing Team Efficiency and Productivity

Veterinary nurses and technicians are the backbone of our hospitals, and their time is precious.

Manually monitoring fluid rates is time-consuming and prone to human error. The AniFM I3 simplifies their workload by:

Automated Monitoring: With precise programming and built-in alarms, your staff can trust the it to manage infusions, freeing them to focus on patient care.

Rotating Cage Clamp and Raised Base: These features make the pump adaptable to various setups, from fluid poles to tabletop use, making it easier for your team to set up and manage infusions.

The drug library feature enables staff to select and display medications clearly, reducing the risk of dosing errors.

Integrating into a variety of treatment protocols, from anesthesia during surgery to continuous-rate infusions in critical care.

By improving efficiency, it allows your staff to “work smarter, not harder”—an invaluable asset in a busy practice.

4. Building Trust and Confidence with Clients

Your clients entrust you with their pets’ lives, and they want reassurance that they’re receiving the best care possible.

By investing in the right technology, you demonstrate your commitment to safety, care, and innovation.

Being able to explain how this pump prevents medication errors, minimizes risks, and offers a consistent treatment experience can help to build customer’s confidence in your hospital’s care and attention to detail.

This level of trust strengthens client relationships and encourages word-of-mouth referrals, boosting your reputation in the community.

5. A Long-Term Investment in Your Practice

Infusion pumps are a long-term value that far outweighs the price tag. Consider the ways it saves money and adds value:

Minimized Errors and Complications: Preventing medication errors can save lives and helps protect your practice from liability.

Reduced Line Fatigue: The peristaltic "floating" pump mechanism extends the lifespan of fluid lines, reducing supply costs over time.

Improved Staff Efficiency: Automating time-intensive tasks allows your team to focus on higher-value work, increasing overall productivity.

Additionally, the AniFM I3’s durability and connectivity features (like integration with CMS systems) ensure it remains a cutting-edge tool for years to come.

It’s a “No Brainer”

Investing in the future of patient care, improving staff efficiency, and demonstrating your commitment to excellence, positions your hospital as a leader in veterinary medicine.
