STORY:

Breakthrough's senior management successfully reverse engineered, documented and re-architected the software for one of the leading multi-line infusion pumps.

Originally written in Assembly language, the team carefully analyzed the software capabilities to ensure FDA approval, making key improvements in terms of operation and supportability.


Used in hospitals across the world, the device enabled formerly bedridden critical care patients with mobility via the device's portability.

Recently, Breakthrough Technologies completed several consulting engagements with Hospira, the pump's current manufacturer as the pump gets ready to debut internationally.
