Rythmic Ultima is a step ahead in medication error prevention  

1 in 20 patients worldwide experience preventable medication-related harm, of which 1/5 occurs during administration and 1/3 during monitoring.6 Minimising potential for error at every step helps maximise patient safety, whether in the hospital or at home.  

  • Lockable drug container cover secures drug bag access
  • Colour-coded pump and dedicated administration sets available with NRFit connector to prevent accidental administration of medication via the wrong route
  • Drug or protocol library allows titration of the selected infusion protocol, staying within pre-programmed safety limit
  • Remote connectivity allows programming to be checked at any time and enables therapy monitoring
  • Unique combination of air eliminating filter and air sensor to optimize patient safety and patient comfort

Rythmic Ultima is a truly ambulatory infusion pump exclusively designed for all types of pain management  

In post-operative care, early mobilisation reduces pain levels, improves quality of life, supports better outcomes and faster discharge.7,8 During childbirth, moving freely can aid a timely birthing process and reduce complications.9,10 In a palliative setting, maintaining physical function and independence improves patient comfort and reduces the burden of care for the caregivers.11 

  • Most compact and lightweight system on the market, accommodating flexible volumes12
  • Outstanding battery life up to 14 days depending on use and battery type, enabling full patient mobilization without being plugged to the mains
  • Interchangeable battery type (rechargeable battery or 2 AA alkaline batteries) for power source flexibility 

Rythmic Ultima gives patients more control over their treatment experience, while also enabling responsive and adaptive care  

Remote access to therapy feedback and historical therapy data allows a real adaptation of treatment to patients’ unique needs.4,5 

  • Bolus requests are instantly sent to the healthcare team and trends can be analysed to adjust treatment4,5
  • Pain scores can be recorded by patients at any time and are instantly transmitted to their healthcare team for fast therapy optimisation
  • On-pump custom questionnaires enable patients to provide real-time therapy feedback, helping to personalise pain relief 

Rythmic Ultima supports efficient use of time and resources 

Simplifying tasks and reducing the need for direct intervention at the patient's bedside may help reduce staff workload and related costs.4,5 

  • All-in-one, pre-assembled infusion sets with integrated soft bag simplify infusion preparation and minimise waste
  • Air vent on spike sets allow fast manual priming
  • Air elimination filter, automatic restart at occlusion release, and long battery lasting reduce unnecessary alarms
  • Remote transmission of therapy data relieves staff from various time-consuming manual reporting tasks at the patient bedside
