IV Cannulation
Value Calculator

Explore why the purchase price of a cannula is only one part of the cost. Adjust the assumptions to model the potential impact of device failure across 100 initial insertions.

Illustrative only. The starting figures below are example assumptions, not actual NHS costs, verified product data or demonstrated clinical savings.

35 modelled failures × £25 additional cost = £875.
How is this calculated?

Initial device cost = 100 × unit price. Additional failure cost = 100 × assumed failure rate × additional cost per failure. Total = initial device cost + additional failure cost. The model assumes one incremental cost for each initial device failure; it does not model repeat-device purchase costs separately unless included in your additional cost assumption.

Important: This is an educational scenario tool, not an NHS tariff, clinical prediction, product comparison or validated economic evaluation. All starting figures are illustrative, not verified NHS or Nipro data. The model excludes other costs unless incorporated into the user-selected additional cost per failure. Clinical outcomes depend on patient, device, insertion technique, maintenance and setting. Do not use this calculator alone for purchasing or clinical decisions.
