Vesicant drugs with high or low pH levels can be extremely dangerous when administered through a peripheral IV. Imagine putting soda into your vein or even worse stomach acid and bleach. When these vesicants infiltrate, patients are at risk for severe injuries, even in the smallest amounts of fluid. Hourly checks are simply not enough. A lot can happen to your patients' IV in the 59 other minutes when you are not able to have eyes on the IV site. ivWatch technology acts as a second set of eyes, often detecting extravasations before any clinical signs or symptoms appear. ? ivWatch technology ???????????????????????? ???????????????? ???? ?????????? ???? ?????? ?????????????for IV fluid that shows up outside of the vessel. ? ?????????????? ?????????? ???? ???? ???????????? ???? ??.????????, which is far beyond the capability of the human eye. ?
