Hospira’s medication management system had two clinical goals: ensure best practices while achieving optimal patient safety. Hospira required an experienced partner with the expertise to design for clinical ease of use, as well as develop an advanced modular system that could be cost-effectively manufactured and sustained throughout an extended product life.

Minnetronix partnered with Hospira to architect a high performance, flexible system and develop the fail-safe embedded software and electronics to drive the design. Throughout the process, design for excellence was top of mind, to ensure hospital systems would have an infusion system that clinicians could use with ease and confidence. The Symbiq Infusion System, with its broad and flexible functionality, received the User-Centered Product Design Award from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, and earned Minnetronix, as a supplier, a Medical Design Excellence Award.
