Our History
Arizona Medical Devices, LLC was formed in January 2000. Since AMD is a recently formed company, most of our history is based upon the history of our key individuals. Their history is filled with successful stories of new technology development and product launches. These individuals are the proud inventors of a number of products in diverse areas. Their background includes active hands-on experience in a number of engineering and management disciplines. We are tremendously proud to say that these individuals form the core team of Arizona Medical Devices. Before we introduce our staff, allow us to introduce the products they have developed:
Products
This product line assists the hospital or homecare pharmacist in the preparation of patient specific multiple component sterile solution preparation where a mixing of sterile solutions is required. Volumes of 0.3 mL to 5000 mL may be compounded with these devices. The introduction of this new technology made the preparation of such medications significantly more cost effective for the patient over previously existing methods. These products were the first of their kind and introduced technology that improved the level of end product safety significantly beyond anything previously available. The Specialty Software developed in conjunction with this product line assists the hospital or homecare pharmacist in the preparation of the sterile final product customized for a specific patient’s needs. This personal computer based software package closes the loop between the introduction of the solution prescription in the hospital pharmacy to its final preparation. This product allows the pharmacy technician to enter the prescription as written by the physician, automatically performs conversion calculations, prints delivery bag labels, summarizes medicinal content and transfers compounding information to the Automated Compounding devices via a serial link upon request by the pharmacy staff. Its use minimizes pharmacy errors, introduces automated record keeping, and provides another measure of cost effective product preparation. Once again, this product was the first of its kind to integrate electro-mechanical devices in the hospital or homecare pharmacy to a personal computer system.
This product line assists the hospital or homecare nurse in the delivery controlled medications to the patient. Our personnel assisted in the development of infusion pumps that utilize both a low-cost standard tubing administration sets as well as high device accuracy and low occlusion pressure specialty cassette administration sets. Small volume pediatric and neonatal infusion pumps were also developed where more precise low delivery rate fluid delivery requirements are essential.
This product line assists the hospital or homecare nurse in the delivery controlled enteral feedings to the patient. Such feedings are typically delivered via naso-gastric tubes and essential to patients with limited gut function.
The first automated test system designed to assist technically skilled or unskilled staff in the testing of infusion or enteral feeding pumps. It consists of two major components:
- An electro-mechanical Test Station that automatically monitors the device under test for fluid delivery accuracy, occlusion detection, and electrical safety performance.
- A Windows personal computer based software package that guides the user through the various tests required to ensure the device under test meets manufacturer requirements. This package also includes data on all devices in the marketplace so as to ensure each test performed is tailored to meet the device under test. Automated pass/fail decisions are made based upon test measurements. Automated record keeping and label printing is also performed when using this system.
The introduction of this new technology made the testing of infusion and enteral feeding devices significantly more cost effective for the provider over previously existing methods.
The first automated equipment tracking product designed to assist hospital and homecare staff in the tracking and utilization of their equipment. The product was also designed to assist its users in equipment tracking and reporting requirements as defined by the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990. It is a Windows personal computer based software package that guides the user through the various data inputs required to ensure proper equipment tracking and conformance with equipment reporting and management requirements.
