Grant provides funding for i.v.STATION Robot at Mangiagalli Clinic

Health Robotics today announced that i.v.STATION and Mangiagalli's Clinic won a national grant from the Vodafone Foundation, as selected by Vodafone customers' votes from a group of potential projects, all of which were focused on children's welfare. This grant provided funding for the i.v.STATION Robot at Mangiagalli, where 6,500 children are born every year, many of them requiring intensive care and complex medication dilutions (including multi-ingredient and double dilutions).

Professor Fabio Mosca, Director of the Neonatology and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico's Mangiagalli Institute, stated: "I'm very pleased to have finally found in i.v.STATION the right technology to handle the complexity of Sterile Compounding for Neonatal Care. I'm also very proud that this world-class Robot is implemented in such a challenging environment as Mangiagalli, in synergy with all the other advanced technologies at our disposal. After extensive due diligence, I'm sure that i.v.STATION will allow us to close the loop in therapeutics, and offer maximum safety to our life-critical newborns."

Health Robotics' i.v.STATION and i.v.STATION ONCO's small footprint allow their installation in direct patient care areas, while their unique features such as complex drug dilutions in vials, syringes, and I.V. Bags are also behind the success that Health Robotics has experienced with its 2^nd Generation Robots in the past 2+ years, dominating the world's I.V. Automation industry over its competitors.

Gaspar DeViedma, Health Robotics' Executive Vice President, stated: "This is yet another testimonial to the fact that Health Robotics is the only I.V. Automation company in the world that currently provides complex medication dilutions and multi-ingredient Sterile Compounding. We warmly welcome Mangiagalli to the growing list of prestigious hospitals implementing i.v.STATION for Pediatric and Neonatal Care, such as Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, Duke University Children's Hospital, Miller Children's Hospital, Sophia Children's Hospital at Erasmus University Medical Center, and Ankara Numune Hospital."
