Description

The B. Braun 8719557 Lockbox is a specialized, high-security accessory engineered specifically for the SpacePlus infusion system. In modern clinical environments, safeguarding medication delivery is as critical as the infusion itself. This robust enclosure provides a tamper-resistant barrier that protects both the medication reservoir and the pump interface, ensuring that infusion parameters remain exactly as prescribed by the clinical team.

Designed to meet the rigorous demands of intensive care, oncology, and general wards, the 8719557 Lockbox integrates seamlessly into existing SpacePlus Stations or pole-mounted configurations. Its implementation represents a significant step forward in hospital risk management and patient safety protocols.


Core Technology and Design

The lockbox is constructed from high-impact, medical-grade polymers and reinforced metallic locking components. Its design philosophy focuses on “Security without Obstruction.” The transparent front panel allows for 100% visibility of the medication levels and pump status, while the reinforced chassis prevents unauthorized physical access to the syringe or IV bag connections.

  • Integrated Locking Mechanism: Features a high-security lock that requires specific clinical keys, preventing accidental or intentional tampering by unauthorized personnel.

  • Ergonomic SpacePlus Fit: Specifically contoured to the dimensions of the SpacePlus series, ensuring no interference with power cables or data ports.

  • Antimicrobial Surface: The materials are resistant to harsh hospital-grade disinfectants, supporting infection control standards.

Mechanism of Action

The 8719557 Lockbox functions as a physical security layer within the medication use process. Once the infusion pump is programmed and the medication is loaded, the lockbox is secured.

  1. Enclosure: It encapsulates the fluid source (typically a syringe or small bag) and the connection point to the infusion line.

  2. Protection: It shields the pump’s physical controls from accidental bumping or intentional manipulation.

  3. Stability: By securing the pump to the SpacePlus Station or pole, it reduces mechanical stress on the infusion line during patient transport or bedside movement.

Clinical Applications and Uses

  • Pain Management (PCA): Securing controlled substances to prevent diversion or accidental over-dosage.

  • Critical Care: Protecting life-sustaining infusions (vasopressors, sedatives) in busy ICU environments.

  • Pediatric & Neonatal Care: Preventing curious patients or visitors from interacting with the medical equipment.

  • Patient Transport: Ensuring the pump and medication remain stable and secured during movement between hospital departments.

Key Advantages

  • Reduced Medication Errors: By preventing unauthorized access to the pump interface, the risk of “programming drift” or accidental shut-offs is minimized.

  • Optimized Workflow: Clear visibility allows nurses to perform checks without opening the box, saving time during rounds.

  • Durable ROI: High-quality materials ensure a long service life, even in 24/7 high-utilization environments.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Helps hospitals meet stringent safety standards regarding the storage and administration of high-alert medications.

DePuy Synthes 271072 Reconstruction Plate (3.5 mm)

The DePuy Synthes 271072 is a premium, sterile-packaged reconstruction plate designed for complex orthopedic fixation. As a cornerstone of the Synthes Small Fragment System, this 10-hole titanium alloy plate is engineered to provide stable internal fixation for bones that require significant contouring or specialized support during the healing process.

Material Science and Engineering

The 271072 plate is manufactured from Medical-Grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). This material is selected for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and excellent biocompatibility. Unlike stainless steel, titanium provides a modulus of elasticity closer to that of human bone, which can reduce “stress shielding” and promote healthier natural bone remodeling.

  • Low-Profile Design: The 3.5 mm thickness is specifically engineered to minimize “palpability”—the ability to feel the plate under the skin—and reduce soft tissue irritation.

  • Malleability: The “Reconstruction” designation means the plate is designed with notches between the screw holes, allowing the surgeon to bend and contour the plate in three planes to match the patient’s unique anatomy.

Mechanism of Action

The plate acts as a load-sharing internal splint. When fixed to the bone with 3.5 mm cortical or locking screws, it bridges the fracture or osteotomy site.

  1. Neutralization: It protects the primary fixation (like a lag screw) from torsional or shear forces.

  2. Buttressing: In reconstructive cases, it prevents the collapse of bone segments under physiological loads.

  3. Stabilization: It maintains the alignment of bone fragments, allowing for early mobilization and reduced risk of non-union.

Surgical Applications

  • Pelvic & Acetabular Fractures: Often used where complex 3D contouring is required to match the curved surfaces of the pelvis.

  • Clavicle Reconstruction: Ideal for comminuted fractures where a low-profile, adaptable plate is necessary.

  • Non-Union Treatments: Providing secondary stability to previously failed fracture sites.

  • Mandibular or Small Long Bone Surgery: Used in various reconstructive scenarios requiring multi-hole fixation in a limited space.

Key Advantages

  • High Hole Density: 10 holes provide multiple points of fixation, which is crucial when dealing with short bone fragments or osteoporotic bone.

  • Sterile Assurance: Delivered in single-use sterile packaging to eliminate the risks associated with hospital sterilization processing and cross-contamination.

  • Biocompatibility: Titanium construction reduces the likelihood of metal sensitivity and improves long-term implant integration.

  • Anatomic Versatility: The notched design allows for precise intraoperative shaping without compromising the structural integrity of the screw holes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the B. Braun 8719557 Lockbox compatible with older Infusomat Space pumps?

The 8719557 model is specifically optimized for the newer SpacePlus generation of B. Braun pumps. While it shares design DNA with previous versions, we recommend using it exclusively with SpacePlus units to ensure the locking tabs and data port alignments meet the manufacturer’s safety specifications for a secure fit.

Can the DePuy Synthes 271072 plate be bent multiple times during surgery?

While reconstruction plates are designed for contouring, repeated bending in the same location can lead to “work hardening” and eventual fatigue failure of the titanium. Surgeons should use the appropriate bending templates to achieve the desired shape in as few moves as possible to maintain maximum mechanical strength.

Does the lockbox interfere with the wireless data transmission of the SpacePlus pump?

No, the medical-grade polymers used in the 8719557 Lockbox are transparent to the RF signals used by the SpacePlus system. Your hospital’s wireless monitoring and EMR integration will continue to function seamlessly while the pump is secured inside the protective tamper-resistant enclosure.

What are the benefits of the 10-hole configuration in the 271072 reconstruction plate?

The 10-hole span offers significant versatility for long-segment stabilization or bridging complex fractures. It allows for a “span-and-skip” screw placement strategy, which can be beneficial in biological internal fixation by preserving the blood supply to the bone while still maintaining a rigid construct.

How do I clean and maintain the B. Braun 8719557 Lockbox?

The lockbox should be cleaned with standard hospital-grade disinfectants. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the transparent viewing window. Periodically check the locking mechanism for smooth operation; if the lock becomes stiff, consult your biomedical engineering department for approved medical-grade lubricants.

Why is titanium preferred over stainless steel for the 271072 plate?

Titanium is highly biocompatible and offers a lower risk of allergic reactions. Furthermore, titanium is MRI-compatible (under specific conditions) and produces fewer artifacts in post-operative imaging compared to stainless steel, allowing for clearer X-rays and CT scans during the patient’s recovery and follow-up.
