Unified medical device management
Technology offers significant efficiency potential. Yet without strategic alignment, it increases complexity. Fragmented IT landscapes increase costs for integration and operations, create cybersecurity risks, consume resources, and limit scalability. Unifying infusion pump management through one digital platform strengthens resilience and future readiness.
Reducing the number of IT systems can simplify the lives of hospital staff:
standardizing workflows, minimizing training needs, and reducing technological stress.
This is why we introduce the new centralized infusion pump fleet management.
Run your entire infusion pump fleet through a single software solution –
whether it’s Space®plus, compactplus, Space®, or all of them in parallel.
OnlineSuiteplus provides a unified digital foundation for all B. Braun pump models.
Check the status of any infusion pump connected to the network on your ward. Get real-time access to infusion data and alarms – even remotely.
Update infusion pumps with new pump firmware, drug libraries, disposables and configuration files as well as certificates.
Use the medication-safety software Drug Library Manager to centrally administer infusion-therapy settings and dosing limits, updated in real time across the entire infusion pump fleet.
Integrate infusion devices with a wide range of third-party systems such as Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and alarm management systems for infusion pumps.
Time is limited. Responsibility is immense. Different device interfaces add technological stress to an already heavy workload.
A unified software solution for all infusion pump systems simplifies workflows, helps prevent errors, and accelerates processes – creating more time for patient care.

Connectivity and cybersecurity are particularly critical in hospitals. That’s where standardized solutions add value. One IT platform to integrate, manage, maintain, and update the entire infusion pump fleet – even remotely. One software solution that provides the highest cybersecurity standards. One system to empower a rolling replacement.
DeviceManagerplus“Manually updating the drug library on 500 pumps would have taken 8 weeks to achieve 90% compliance based on previous experience. Doing this wirelessly and hitting over 90% in just 4 days was a game changer.”
The Drug Library Manager gives pharmacists precise, centralized control over medication standards and supports a consistent, safe practice in infusion therapy. With this application, pharmacists can manage and standardize drug guidelines, configure infusion therapy parameters, define and maintain dosing limits centrally for every B. Braun infusion pump in your hospital’s fleet.
The Drug Library Manager provides predefined dosing ranges and infusion parameters based on clinical standards. This standardization reduces variability and human error, which are major contributors to medication errors in high-risk environments. Studies show that implementing dose error reduction software significantly decreases incorrect pump programming and intercepts errors before they reach the patient.

The DLM uses hard and soft limits to trigger alerts when programmed values exceed safe thresholds. These real-time warnings allow clinicians to correct mistakes immediately, preventing overdoses and associated adverse events. Smart pump technology combined with drug libraries reduces severe dosing errors and improves patient safety.

During emergencies or complex infusions, clinicians face high cognitive load and time pressure, increasing the risk of programming errors. The DLM minimizes manual calculations and automates safety checks, enabling faster and safer infusion setup.
