For Healthcare Professionals Only

Vancomyzer™ is intended solely for use by qualified healthcare professionals, including licensed physicians, pharmacists, and other clinicians with appropriate training in vancomycin pharmacokinetics and therapeutic drug monitoring. This tool is not intended for use by patients, caregivers, or non-clinical personnel. If you are not a healthcare professional, do not use this tool — consult your physician or pharmacist for medication guidance.

Not Medical Advice

Vancomyzer™ provides clinical decision-support information for clinician review only. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice, a prescription, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation. All dosing outputs are model-based review aids generated from pharmacokinetic calculations. They must be independently reviewed and validated by a licensed clinician before any clinical application. The clinician retains full responsibility for all dosing and patient care decisions.

Scope of Use

The calculator is scoped to adult intermittent-infusion vancomycin as described on this site. It is not validated for pediatric use, continuous infusion, or conditions outside the stated assumptions. Outputs should not be used in clinical situations outside this explicit scope without independent clinical assessment.

Non-Device Clinical Decision Support

Vancomyzer™ is classified as non-device clinical decision support software consistent with FDA CDS guidance. It is not FDA-cleared or FDA-approved as a medical device. It has not been clinically validated in prospective outcomes studies, and no claim is made that its use improves patient outcomes relative to other dosing methods.
