SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., Dec. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- eBroselow, a pioneer in the safe, simple, and standardized delivery of medication in acute care settings, has announced the release of SafeDose® EMS, a mobile app for emergency medical professionals. SafeDose EMS, now available on app stores, dramatically accelerates the response time for EMS personnel to always deliver the correct medication dose.
SafeDose EMS eliminates manual math calculations, quickly determining proper drug doses in acute settings. EMS personnel scan the bar code on the medication bottle, or use the app to search for any medication, enter the weight or Broselow color, and SafeDose EMS quickly returns the proper administration dose. SafeDose EMS provides 100% reliability, and is faster than any available weight-based dosing system for children and adults.
Properly calculating correct medication doses in the field is especially critical since there is often no backup support. SafeDose EMS provides the critical double check ensuring the right dose is delivered every time.
"It only takes one mistake to harm a patient or to change someone's career forever," said Dr. James Broselow, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at eBroselow. "SafeDose EMS is a tool that totally removes human error with a simple scan."
SafeDose EMS also provides a record and time stamp of every medication delivery which can be logged into the patient's medical record and be available to clinicians in the arriving emergency department. SafeDose EMS is the next advancement of SafeDose Enterprise, which has been an accurate double check for millions of medications since its development in 2011.
"SafeDose EMS requires no math and no memorization, and it works offline and in airplane mode," said John Gobron, CEO at eBroselow. "We are excited to be able to help EMS professionals who are often under urgent time pressure to deliver medications to patients in the field."
SafeDose EMS was developed by the inventors of the Broselow tape, Dr. Broselow and Dr. Robert Luten, two of the most widely recognized names in the field of emergency medicine and pediatric care.
