ICU Medical: Evaluating the Plum™ Precision IV Pumps for Clinical and Pharmacy Integration

Infusion therapy in high-acuity settings requires both reliability and clarity. As pharmacy and clinical leaders continue to evaluate infusion platforms, understanding how devices perform in real-world conditions—under variable patient, bag, and room positions—is key. Plum™ Precision IV Pumps, including the Plum Solo™ (single-channel) and Plum Duo™ (dual-channel), were designed to support this need with a focus on accurate delivery and simplified use.

Pharmacy leaders involved in technology assessments, infusion safety, or medication administration protocols may want to consider how this platform integrates into broader workflows. The pump system is intended to address common challenges in medication delivery accuracy, especially when handling complex infusions.

Here are four functional considerations for evaluating Plum precision pumps:

  • Consistent Accuracy in Dynamic Conditions
    The system is designed to maintain ±3% delivery accuracy regardless of pump or bag position—useful in environments where patient movement or bag height changes are frequent.
  • Usability Features for Nursing and Clinical Staff
    Interface design focuses on reducing cognitive load and simplifying workflows, with guided prompts and intuitive navigation.
  • Support for Multi-Infusion Scenarios
    The dual-channel Plum Duo™ allows for simultaneous delivery of multiple IV therapies without requiring additional hardware footprint.
  • Integrated Software and System Visibility
    The pumps are supported by software that connects infusion data with broader medication management systems—supporting documentation and safety monitoring efforts.

Organizations evaluating updates to their IV infusion infrastructure may benefit from reviewing the Plum system’s technical specifications and interoperability with existing safety platforms. When considering equipment for critical care, long-term infusion, or general inpatient use, aligning hardware functionality with medication delivery protocols remains a core priority.
