The B. Braun Infusomat® is the provincially approved Large Volume Infusion Pumps (LVIP) selected to replace all end-of-life Baxter Colleague systems. The transition to the new pumps will occur in our region throughout the month of February, 2023 in a staged approach. This work has already been completed in a number of other Service Delivery Organizations to date. The equipment change will require education on the infusion pump, updated IV monographs, and the use of new proprietary consumables (IV sets). As with any project this large, there are many moving parts and programs affected. Training on infusion systems is an Accreditation Canada Required Organization Proactive (ROP) and must be completed with any new system adoption like this and every 2 years thereafter.
Implementation Completed February 24, 2023!
Education Resources
There are 2 parts to the training requirements:

It will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. *Reminder: LMS courses do not reliably function on mobile devices. It is best to take LMS courses on a computer at this time.
Proof of completion must be presented at the time of the classroom session (printed certificate or an image of the completion on your mobile device).
