IV Transfer System

The Problem

Because adverse events occur in up to 70% of patient transports, IV solutions are needed. The causes of these patient handling problems can range from manual lifting of heavy equipment to disconnection or entanglement of leads and IVs to trip hazards caused by a five star IV pole or other IV stand equipment.

The Solution: TAD™ IV Transfer System

The TAD™ IV Transfer System enables the safe and efficient transfer of pole mounted infusions and equipment between a wall or boom and a bed. A transfer device with pole, a bed adapter and a headwall or boom adapter make up the TAD™ transfer system with an optional mobile docking station.

To transfer the pole, simply position the TAD™ transfer system adapter over the cone, raise the bed until the transfer device simultaneously unlocks from one cone while securely locking to the adjacent cone. The patented safety interlock automatically secures the target without additional locks or levers to turn. Once attached to the patient bed, simply rotate the pole parallel to the patient. The pole fits within the footprint of the bed and keeps the floor space clear.

The TAD™ IV Transfer System eliminates the need for manual lifting of equipment, reduces the risk of equipment disconnection and promotes a safer patient transport.

“I would obviously recommend this system to any hospital.  It makes patient transport so easy.”  more
