Abstract
Issues such as the reduction of junior doctors' hours, the Greenhalgh report (Greenhalgh and Company 1994), the Allitt Inquiry (Clothier 1994), and the Report of the Expert Working Group on Alarms on Clinical Monitors (MDA 1995a) have had and will continue to have an impact on intravenous (IV) therapy in hospitals and the community. The Medical Devices Agency (MDA) has indicated that a significant number of adverse incidents related to infusion devices/equipment are not machine failure but 'user error' (MDA 1995a). In the light of this, it is useful to examine the use of infusion devices more closely.
