VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - According to a new report by iData Research, in light of recent infusion pump product recalls, there has been a shift towards neutral displacement needleless connectors. This shift has been driven by companies like Nexus Medical and ICU Medical, with neutral displacement devices that incorporate anti-reflux technology.
"The infusion therapy device market has been disrupted by product recalls affecting a significant proportion of installed base units," explains Dr. Kamran Zamanian, CEO of iData. "However, newer pump systems that incorporate additional features, such as wireless capabilities and anti-reflux technology, will enhance patient safety and drive growth."
Other key findings from the 2015 edition of the iData Research report entitled U.S. Market for Infusion Therapy Devices:
- Product Recalls: These product issues surrounding the recall have not only raised concerns about available infusion pumps, but have also put pressure on the device supply chain; infusion therapies are a significant element of medical treatment in the U.S. and at times must be replaced in high unit volumes when a recall is issued.
- Syringe Pump Market Growth: While other markets are facing competition from alternative treatments, the syringe pump market has a niche application in the neonatal intensive care unit and OR settings. Market growth is expected to continue through 2021 as analysed in this report.
- IV Fluid Shortage: Shortages of hydration fluids have required companies to import additional supplies from their manufacturing facilities abroad. This has led to a slight shift towards the use of extension IV sets at the expense of primary IV sets, further moderating market growth.
