This study supports the use of centralized breastmilk handling and systems for proper identification of breastmilk.
“During the first 6 months of breastmilk bar code scanning, 55 attempts to feed the wrong breastmilk to the wrong patient and 127 attempts to feed expired breastmilk were prevented.
The Timeless Medical Women & Infants SystemTM is backed by evidence based research, ensuring the right milk goes to the right patient every time and empowering clinicians to prepare and feed confidently.
The Timeless Medical Women & Infants System™ is clinically proven to reduce costs, and save clinicians time. It is the only system able to read and decode human milk bank barcodes, and all formula manufacturer barcodes, ensuring the right feed to the right patient every time.”
The following study was conducted independently at a facility utilizing the Timeless Women & Infants System ™ with no financial incentive provided by Timeless Medical Systems
