At CareFusion, we understand that you take every precaution to protect your smallest patients from harm. That’s why we've developed a system to identify and track breast milk - the Pyxis® Infant Care Verification.
Pyxis® Infant Care Verification uses barcode technology to match mother/infant and infant/breast milk/supplemental nutrition. This helps reduce the risk of mislabeling in the NICU/PICU or similar care units from infection transmissions, including cytomegalovirus (CMV), HIV-1, and HTLV-I1. You can manage breast milk inventory, expiration date and donor tracking, all while helping to eliminate breast milk administration errors and reduce infection transmission.
With real-time data verification at the point of care, you help reduce the risk of infection transmission and increase patient safety.
