If you try hard enough, there are enough sources of saving throw bonuses that you can actually have a character incapable of failing a saving throw (without penalties being applied). Here's a list of bonuses I've been able to find that either apply to all saves, or to death saving throws specifically.
Remember that bonuses of the same type don't stack, so you can't grab all of the items listed below and hope for +13 to your saves. However, many of the sources listed are untyped, which will stack together just fine.
Backgrounds
- Crusading Zealot: +1 bonus to saving throws until you fail a saving throw (resets after a rest)
- Scorned Noble: +2 bonus to saving throws while no allies are within 5 squares of you
Character Themes
- Chevalier level 10: +1 power bonus to saving throws

- Warforged Juggernaut (requires Warforged) level 16: +2 bonus to saving throws
So, let's throw together this hypothetical character.
Background: Scorned Noble; this will lets us become infallible for all saves if we back away from out comrades (or get them to back away from us!)
Total: +2 while further than 5sq from allies
Character Theme: The four choices don't matter as far as saving throw boosting is concerned.
Total: +1 always +2 while further than 5sq from allies (+3)
Race: Genasi, Earthsoul for the racial +1
Total: +2 always +2 while further than 5sq from allies (+4)
- Class: Fighter, so that we can pick up Elemental Guardian and boost the racial bonus. Multiclassing into Cleric for the paragon path
- Ability Scores: Wisdom at least 13, Constitution at least 12 are all that's needed at level 1 (assuming Constitution is raised at 4 and 8) to get the desired feats.
- Skills: Why not train Heal, to help your poor allies who aren't immune to save-ends effects and death?
- Powers: While there are powers which can boost saving throws, none last for longer than an encounter.
Feats:
- Disciple of Death
- Born of Shadow
- Initiate of the Faith
- Elemental Guardian
Total: +3 always +2 while further than 5sq from allies +1 in dim light or darkness +5 vs. death saving throws (+11)
Paragon Path: Anointed Champion, selecting Anointed Helm
Total: +5 always +2 while further than 5sq from allies +1 in dim light or darkness +5 vs. death saving throws (+13)
Items:
- Nullifying Ring
- Verve Armor
Total: +8 always +2 while further than 5sq from allies +1 in dim light or darkness +7 vs. death saving throws (+18)
Now, a 2 on a death saving throw will let you spend a healing surge, and you can't fail the roll. You also can't fail a normal saving throw roll unless penalties are being applied to you or you're in bright light with allies nearby.
For most actual games, a Nullifying Ring won't be available to a level 16 character, however. Even without any item bonus at all though you've got a healing surge on 5+ for a death save, and you still have 95% success rate for saves when your teammates are crowding too close and the lighting is good. And you can always add in one of the lower-level items which provide a bonus until you can get your mitts on the level 30 ring. The Fortune Stones set would be a nice lower-level choice, as each item offers a daily reroll for certain attack types, and once you get 5 of them everyone in the party is getting the +1 bonus.
