Effects of ivAED™ Device on "Air-in-line" Alarms and Workflow Disruption

The investigators propose to test the hypothesis, that is, the effectiveness of the ivAED to eliminate air-in-line, comparing two commercially available, standard IV infusion pumps: the Braun Infusomat® Space P and the Becton-Dickenson Alaris™ model 8100 pump (the latter is currently in use as the standard IV infusion pump at Keck Hospital of USC). Testing of an IV infusion pump other the Keck Hospital of USC standard is indicated, as the independent laboratory testing of the Alaris™ 8100 pump found that this model pump is prone to developing air bubbles as the infusion passes through the pump mechanism. These air bubbles can be sufficient to trigger the air-in-line alarm. The Braun Infusomat® Space P IV infusion pump is a market leader like the Alaris™ 8100 pump, was evaluated in independent testing with and without the ivAED™ device, and was NOT found to create bubbles.
