Introduction
The Alaris® PC unit Section of this Directions for Use ("DFU")
provides procedures and information applicable to the Alaris
System and the PC Unit. Each of the other major Sections
provides product-specific procedures and information.
®
The Alaris
System is a modular system intended for adult,
pediatric and neonatal care in today’s growing professional
healthcare environment. It consists of the PC Unit, the
®
Guardrails
Suite MX, and up to 4 detachable infusion and/or
monitoring modules (channels). The Auto-ID Module can be
included as a fifth module.
®
Guardrails
Suite MX for the Alaris® System brings a new
level of medication error prevention to the point of patient
®
care. The Guardrails
Suite MX features medication dosing,
concentration delivery rate and optional initial programming
guidelines for up to
15 patient-specific care areas, referred
to as profiles. Each profile contains a specific Drug Library
and channel labels, as well as instrument configurations
appropriate for the care area. Optional drug-specific Clinical
Advisories provide visual messages. Dosing limits for each
®
Guardrails
drug entry may be a Hard Limit that cannot be
overridden during infusion programming and/or a Soft Limit
that can be overridden, based on clinical requirements.
®
WARNING
Read all instructions before using
®
the Alaris
System.

Installation
Instruments are tested and calibrated before they are
packaged for shipment. To ensure proper operation after
shipment, it is recommended that an incoming inspection be
performed before placing the instrument in use.
Prior to placing the Alaris
®
System in use:
1. Perform check-in procedure using System Maintenance
software.
2. Verify whether or not Profiles feature has been enabled
(see PC Unit Section, "System Options", "System
Configurations").
NOTE:
To enable the Profiles feature, a hospital-defined best-practice
Data Set must be uploaded to the PC Unit.

Introduction
Getting Started
This Section of the DFU provides PC Unit (Model 8000) and
®
Alaris
System instructions and information. It is used in
conjunction with:
• PC Unit / Pump Module Technical Service Manual
• Product-specific sections of this
• System Maintenance software (and its instructions) for Alaris®
System check-in, maintenance, and wireless configuration
DFU
The PC Unit is the core of the Alaris® System and provides
a common user interface for programming infusions and
monitoring, which helps to reduce complexity at the point of
care.
Alarms, Errors, Messages: See "Troubleshooting and
Maintenance" for specific PC Unit alarms, errors and
messages.
Contraindications: None known.
Electromagnetic Environment: See "Appendix" Section of
this DFU ("Regulations and Standards", "Compliance").
WARNING
Read all instructions, including
those for the attached module(s) and
applicable accessories, before using
®
the Alaris
System.

General Setup and Operation
Attaching and Detaching Module(s)
Modules can be attached to either side of the PC Unit or to
either side of another module. The process to attach or detach
is the same for either side, whether attaching/detaching
to/from a PC Unit or another module.
Attaching Module(s)
1. Position free module at a 45° angle, aligning IUI
connectors.
2. Rotate free module down against PC Unit or attached
module, until release latch snaps in place.
IUI Connectors
45°
WARNING
When properly secured/snapped, the
release latch provides a very secure
connection between modules. If not
properly latched, a module can be
dislodged during operation.
NOTES:
Individual hospital/facility may choose to permanently attach
modules. To remove permanently attached modules, contact
qualified service personnel.
Application of adhesive tape or other materials to the sides of
the PC Unit and modules may prevent proper latching.
The Alaris® System is designed to operate a maximum of 4
infusion or monitoring modules. Modules added in excess of
4 are recognized by the system. The Auto-ID Module can be
included as a fifth module. The module(s) can be attached
in any position; however, when mounted on an IV pole, it is
recommended that a balanced configuration be maintained.
