AirVault™ has been described as a "game-changing infusion industry product" with the "ability to improve quality and safety, boost efficiency, or reduce administrative burden for providers" by the National Home Infusion Association: "NHIA presented its inaugural Innovation Award to Gasgon Medical for AirVault, a novel closed-system air trap that safely, proactively removes air in line, helping clinicians and patients avoid alarms, maintenance, and delays in care. The award recognizes a game-changing infusion industry product or service.  A panel of NHIA member-expert clinicians evaluated exhibitor products and services introduced within the last 2 years for their ability to improve quality and safety, boost efficiency, or reduce administrative burden for providers."

Come meet a legend of the IV infusion world, Nancy Trick, RN, CRNI, VA-BC at our booth at AVA 2024 (Booth #720). This a special year for Nancy as she has been awarded the highest honor in Vascular Access for 2024, the prestigious Association for Vascular Access Suzanne LaVere Herbst Award for Excellence, recognizing her exceptional achievements across her career in the field of vascular access. Nancy, along with our team, will be available to discuss IV management challenges, including air-in-line, disruptions to IV therapy and the need to deliver closed system infusions to protect both nurse and patient. #AVASM24 #Infusion #Nursing #Safety

Our team are reflecting on an extraordinary Infusion Nurses Society INS Conference 2024, full of learning and engaging conversations. This event is a highlight of the calendar as it celebrates the innovation, skill and dedication to excellence that underpins the work of specialist infusion nurses. Did you know that up to 90% of inpatients receive an IV as part of their treatment? It is this amazing group of vascular access and administration specialists who deliver expert care across all environments and stages of the patient journey. A major talking-point at this show was the effect air-in-line has on overall safety, efficiency and quality of care, a problem that affects both patients and care providers wherever IV infusions are given. Somehow, air-in-line has become an acceptable problem, forcing nurses to become the last line of defense for patient safety. As well as the many insightful education sessions, two highlights for Gasgon Medical included getting to present AirVault® for the first time to a diverse group of nurses at INS conference, and seeing two nursing legends, Seth Eisenberg and Nancy Trick, deliver a presentation on the sources and potential solutions to fix the Air-in-Line problem, entitled "Air-in-Line: An Alarming Issue". Congratulations to the hard-working organizers behind this wonderful event - our plane tickets are already booked for Las Vegas 2025!! 😊 #LetsTalkAboutAirInLine #ZeroFlicksGiven

Wow!! The Oncology Nursing Society Congress has delivered once again, with a massive celebration highlighting the amazing work being done by this organization and its members to deliver the highest standards in cancer care. ONS 2024 presented a powerful opportunity for the Gasgon Medical team to listen and learn about the challenges that still exist by the bedside, particularly those due to managing air-in-line during IV infusion of hazardous drugs. Our team was blown away by the response to our closed-system air-in-line solution, AirVault®, from nurses representing hospitals and healthcare systems all across the USA. Front line healthcare workers place themselves in harm's way every day due to occupational exposure to hazardous drugs that can be devastating to health. It's clear that healthcare providers need to do more to protect nurses and their colleagues, with engineering controls that are fit for purpose. This need for better controls to improve safety is highlighted in the new Oncology Nursing Society standards and was discussed during an excellent talk titled 'Hazardous Drug Administration - From Start to Finish' by MiKaela Olsen, DNP, APRN-CNS, AOCNS, FAAN and AnnMarie Walton, PhD, MPH, RN, OCN, CHES, FAAN. Yet despite a call for improving standards the reality of daily nursing does not always allow optimal safety targets to be met, making nurses the first and last line of defense for patient safety, and regularly at their own risk. We believe that improving safety in healthcare means using tools that are fit for purpose and safety discussions should include all stakeholders, especially nurses at the bedside. We should all be on a mission to take better care of those who take care of us. #ONS2024 #NurseSafety #LetsTalkAboutAirInLine #ZeroFlicks
