In “Deadly Errors Made in Intensive Care”1
of the 38,000 reported mistakes, insulin was the
single most common medication associated with
errors due to overdosing and underdosing.
GlucoStabilizer reduces these risks by:
-
 Automatically
calculating complex protocols to determine
proper IV insulin dosage
-
Replacing multiple protocols and sliding
scale efforts with a standardized process of
individualized care
-
Eliminating the tendency to not follow a
paper insulin dosing protocol
-
Alerting nursing with audible and visual
alarms to improve efficiency and timely
dosing adjustments
 Reduce
Potential for Errors and Paper Protocol Complexity
-
Test Blood Glucose;
-
Enter Glucose;
-
Adjust Drip Rate as directed;
-
IF HYPO, dose D50 as recommended
-
 GlucoStabilizer
requires nursing confirmation and documents
with initials to improve dosing safety.
-
GlucoStabilizer eliminates the variations in
how nurses interpret paper protocols and
calculate the insulin dose
-
GlucoStabilizer includes a wide range of
HIPAA related settings ensure patient
confidentiality on all screens
