Get Consistent
IV Supply
from a strategically located,reliable partner.

IV solutions supply is an ongoing concern for hospitals like you. With recent hurricanes causing critical IV solutions
shortages, manufacturers being unable to respond quickly to interruptions, and some suppliers relying on overseas
shipping to get product ashore, there is a lot that can stand in the way of you and a reliable IV solutions supply.
With ICU Medical, you can have peace of mind knowing your IV solutions will be available where and when you needthem. That’s because, unlike other manufacturers, our IV solutions are produced in two US plants, far from disaster-prone
areas; and, because we don’t rely on overseas shipping, we can deliver to anywhere in the US in just one to two days.

Smarter Manufacturing means Smarter Geography
Our primary manufacturing facility is located in Austin, TX, a geographically stable area that is a low risk for experiencing
natural disasters.1,2,3 Safely south of Tornado Alley and north of typical hurricane zones, you can rest assured that whendisasters start, your supply of IV solutions shouldn’t stop. In fact, the last major hurricane to hit Texas (Harvey, 2017)
resulted in significant rain that positivity impacted Austin by re-filling the local Edwards Aquifer with clean water that weuse in IV solutions manufacturing.

Since IV solutions are the lifeblood of your IV therapy operations, it just makes sense to have them manufactured on U.S.
soil, in a climate that is mild year-round, and transported over land. Our back-up power equipment, redundant supply ofwater, localized sterilization, and fully trained staff with emergency and work processes allow for a total redundancy in ourability to produce product and ship finished IV solutions to you.

Help ensure supply with unprecedented safety stock
We currently hold a target inventory of 12+ weeks of stock on hand for all IV solutions products, representing asignificant increase and helping to ensure supply should industry shortages occur. In order to make continued
improvements, we are currently developing supply chain and logistics upgrades that represent a 10-year,$28.6 million dollar investment.

Let us help you stay supplied, rain or shine.
