Nexxspan IV Transfer

Setlock is a next-generation IV transfer system that makes patient transfers safer and more efficient.


Intra-hospital transfers often involve moving patients with attached IV equipment, which can be unstable and risky. A secure, easy-to-use transport system is essential to ensure safety and reduce delays.

With a streamlined locking mechanism and seamless equipment integration, it simplifies a critical process for healthcare staff.

Balancing safety and efficiency

Intra-hospital transfers are risky and high stress.

They pose risks and challenges, demanding fast, careful handling to keep equipment and life-support systems secure.

An IV transport system is essential for safely and efficiently moving patients along with their attached medical equipment, like IV poles, to different areas within the hospital, including imaging and MRI suites.

What does the current IVT system look like?

  • There is no clear indicator showing whether the IVT is locked or unlocked.

  • Nurses may overlook verifying the lock status during urgent situations.

Based on observational studies in a hospital environment, we identified key pain points and mapped out a user journey. The primary users are the nurses responsible for facilitating intra-hospital patient transfers.

User Painpoints

Lack of built-in cable management

Maintaining proximity of the IV pole to bed without cable interference.

Trouble moving the IVT in narrow spaces.
