The Problem with Intra-hospital Transportation and
              Traditional IV Poles




                                                 1
The Pain Point




Hospital caregivers are expected to safely and quickly move
patients…this is what they encounter.

                                                              2
This leads to a chain reaction of problems for the hospital, its staff
                           and patients.




                                                                  3
More and More Equipment




Medical pumps and monitoring devices have become bigger and more cumbersome and
              the IV poles designed to support them have not kept pace.


                                                                          4
Today’s intra-hospital patient transportation is based off of principals from the 1950’s




                                                                                    5
Strain on Staff
Finite resources are now being used to push patient
                     equipment.



                                Sometimes it takes as
                                many as 4 people to
                                transport a patient…what
                                else could this skilled staff
                                be doing?




                                                          6
Negative Patient Outcomes




             Bloodstream Infection (IV line pulls)

• IV line pulls
• Increased wait time to receive care
• Increased chance of infection
                                                     7
The Problem Creates

• Workman’s comp claim
   • Nurse workplace injuries are ranked # 2 in the U.S.

• Inefficient use of staff
    • Pulling nursing and other staff away from patients to help
    move equipment

• Bloodstream infections
    • 250,000 annually in the U.S.
    • More than 12% mortality rate

                       Hospitals have to pay these costs!

                                                              8
With rising healthcare costs and limited hospital
resources a solution is needed…




                                                    9
The Streamline Solution

The IV Suspension System (ISS) is
an intrahospital transport system for
patient equipment that helps reduce
costs and increases safety in
hospitals

• Supports multiple pieces of patient
medical equipment (up to 8 pumps).

• Automatically attaches, locks and
retracts off of the floor to any brand
patient bed, transport cart, gurney or
wheelchair.

• Equipment is easily transported
hands-free by one staff member.

                                                10
Safer, More Efficient Hospitals



• Increases efficiency

• Creates a safer transport for
staff and patients

• Contributes to reduced costs to
the hospital and patients



     Bring the focus back to patient care
                                              11
