About Drug Infusion

Drug Infusion is a practice simulator for IV medication math on iPhone and iPad. It is made by iAnesthesia LLC in Spokane, Washington, and has been on the App Store since April 2009.

Who makes it

iAnesthesia LLC, a Washington State limited liability company in Spokane, makes and sells Drug Infusion. The app first appeared on the App Store in April 2009. Today it runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS and iPadOS 18 or later.

It is built for nursing, pharmacy, and medical students — and clinicians refreshing their skills — to practice IV medication math on fictional problems. Drug Infusion is an educational simulator. It is not a medical device and is not for patient care.

Who writes and checks the articles

The articles on this site are written and checked by iAnesthesia LLC and published under the company’s name. Each byline links to an author page that states the author’s tie to the app.

No article has been reviewed by an independent clinical reviewer yet, and each article’s byline says so. When a qualified reviewer checks an article, its byline will name them and the date.

How articles are sourced, checked and corrected, and how we use AI tools, is set out in our editorial standards.

How the app is built

  • No account to create, and no servers that collect your data.
  • No ads, and no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the app.
  • Your calculations, scenarios, and progress stay on your device.
  • The two-person check works offline: one device shows a QR code, the other scans it with its camera, and the result appears on the verifier’s device. Nothing is sent over a network.
  • This website uses cookieless, aggregate page analytics from our host.

Boilerplate

Drug Infusion is a practice simulator for IV medication math on iPhone and iPad. Nursing, pharmacy and medical students, and clinicians refreshing their skills, use it to work rate, bolus and dilution problems with every unit shown cancelling, and to rehearse an independent double check with a partner. It is free to start, Pro is a single one-time purchase, and it is never a tool for treating patients.
