MedLite ID

What MedLite ID does

MedLite ID is a privately held medical device company headquartered in St. George, Utah, that develops and sells the Smart-Lite System, a single-use disposable clip-on lighting device used by clinicians to identify the correct IV infusion line for medication administration. The product addresses wrong-route infusion Adverse Drug Events (ADEs), which the company cites as representing 56% of all ADEs and affecting up to 90% of IV infusions, by attaching LED-equipped Smart-Lites to standard IV tubing (3.0-4.2mm outer diameter) such that pressing any button causes all paired lights to illuminate simultaneously for approximately 50 seconds. Each three-light set lasts roughly 96 hours, aligned with Infusion Nurses Society line-change guidelines. The underlying light-linking technology is protected by eight granted utility patents and is FDA-cleared, FCC Part 15 compliant (FCC IDs 2ATMC-IDAO1US and 2ATMC-IDAO1923), ISO 13485 certified through parent company Orion Innovations, and approved on the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) and Government Supply Agreement (GSA) for VA/DoD procurement.

The company sells hardware on a quote-based, multi-year enterprise contract model to acute care hospitals (ICU/CCU/MICU/SICU), VA/DoD medical facilities, and air ambulance services, with clinical evidence presentations and trial programs driving the sales cycle. Documented evidence customers include Intermountain Healthcare, a 500-bed VA Hospital, Primary Children's Hospital, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine (which published a peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Infusion Nursing in 2024 reporting 24% faster primary medication line port access and 40% less mental tasking). Reported operational outcomes include 83% nurse adoption intent, 78% self-reported patient safety improvement, 34% reduction in line-tracing time, 87% reduction in nurse stress, 271%+ faster primary medication line access, and $244K net annual savings per 100-bed hospital. The company is led by co-founder and inventor Dr. Wayne Provost, with Rodney W Schutt as President & CEO and Steven Savage as Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer; no institutional investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available material.
