Hi, The MOH in Fiji has plans to replace all infusion pumps from next year and has recently been approached by a company with an offer to provide refurbished infusion pumps on loan where the only payment to be made is for IV sets. Training, parts and service is all free of charge. This is a totally new concept for us but i've heard this is practised in australia. Before we make a decision on this offer, I need to understand better how this concept works. Is anyone able to provde me with information on this system with advantages and disadvantages and what we should be looking out for.
The initial plan for replacement was to do an EOI and trial a few different models of pumps in our health facilties. Please advise. Nehal Kapadia National Biomedical Coordinator MOH, Fiji.
