Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump: Precision and Safety for Critical Care Infusions
The Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump from Carefusion is a fully featured syringe pump designed to provide highly accurate and continuous infusions in critical care settings. Its versatility, precision, and advanced safety features make it ideal for administering small volumes of fluid, ensuring patient safety, and preventing medication errors. The pump is suitable for a variety of therapeutic infusions, including analgesics, chemotherapy, antimicrobials, blood products, and nutrition, providing healthcare professionals with the ability to tailor medication delivery to the specific needs of patients.
At the core of the Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump is the Guardrails® Safety Software, a customizable platform that offers unprecedented medication error prevention. This software allows hospitals to create profiles with IV medication dosing guidelines that are specific to different care areas. These profiles can contain hard limits that prevent overdosing, or soft alerts that warn clinicians but can be overridden if needed. By enforcing these safeguards, the pump enhances patient safety and allows clinicians to deliver care with confidence.
The Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump offers a range of infusion rates from 0.1ml/h to 1200ml/h, accommodating different therapeutic needs. Its high-precision monitoring ensures the safe delivery of small fluid volumes, while the ability to configure bolus rates from 10ml/h to 1200ml/h allows for controlled rapid drug delivery when necessary. For enhanced flexibility, users can program up to 10 profiles with a maximum of 100 drugs per profile, each containing its specific drug library and pump configuration.
The pump’s advanced alarm systems are another key feature, including alarms for pressure issues, syringe status, near-end infusion warnings, and dose-related errors. This extensive alarm protection prevents underdosing, overdosing, and ensures smooth operation with minimal risk.
Built to handle a wide variety of standard single-use, disposable Luer lock syringes, the Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump can accommodate syringes from 5ml to 50ml. This flexibility makes it suitable for many clinical scenarios, from general hospital care to intensive care units (ICUs). Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive alarm features make it easy for clinicians to operate even in high-pressure environments.
Additionally, the Alaris® CC Syringe Pump's construction is designed for durability and transportability, featuring a lightweight design at 2.7 kg. It is equipped with a rechargeable NiMH battery that provides up to 6 hours of operation, and its memory retains infusion settings for over 6 months without power, ensuring continuous care even during transport.
