Introduction
The Alaris™ PC unit section of this User Manual provides
procedures and information applicable to the Alaris System and
the PC unit. Each of the other major sections provides productspecific procedures and information.
The Alaris System is a modular system intended for adult,
pediatric, and neonatal care. It consists of the PC unit, the
Guardrails™ Suite MX, and up to four detachable infusion and/
or monitoring modules (channels). The Alaris Auto-ID module
can be included as a fifth module. The use of the Alaris System
is restricted to one patient at a time.
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 30 patient-specific care areas, referred to as Profiles. Each
Profile contains a specific Drug Library, an IV Fluid library, and
channel labels, as well as instrument configurations
appropriate for the care area. Optional drug- or IV Fluid-specific
Clinical Advisories provide visual messages. Dosing limits for
each Guardrails drug entry or rate limits for each IV Fluid entry
can 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.
CAUTION
nly
O
A Data Set is developed and approved by the facility’s
own multi-disciplinary team using the Guardrails Editor
software, the PC-based authoring tool. A Data Set is then
transferred to the Alaris System by qualified personnel. The
approved Data Sets are maintained by the Editor Software for
future updates and reference.
Information about an Alert that occurs during use is
stored within the PC unit, and can be accessed using the
Guardrails CQI Reporter software.
Documentation provided with Alaris System products
might reference product not present in your facility or not yet
available for sale in your area.
A superscript number (for example,
) identifies additional
information provided as a NOTE at the end of the procedure.
Alaris System User Manual – with v9.33 Model 8015 v
Intended Use
Introduction (Continued)
The Alaris™ System with Guardrails™ Suite MX is intended for
use in professional healthcare facilities that utilize infusion
devices for the delivery of fluids, medications, blood, and blood
products. The Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX is
intended to provide trained healthcare caregivers a way to
automate the programming of infusion parameters, thereby
decreasing the amount of manual steps necessary to enter
infusion data.
All data entry and validation of infusion parameters is
performed by the trained healthcare professional according to a
physician's order. The Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX
is an interoperable system capable of communicating and
exchanging data accurately, effectively, securely, and
consistently with different information technology systems,
software applications, and networks, in various settings; and
exchanging data such that the clinical or operational purpose
and meaning of the data are preserved and unaltered.
Essential Performance
The Alaris infusion modules are designed to accurately deliver
the programmed amount of the medication or fluid over the
programmed time period. The Alaris infusion modules ensure
that an infusion is not being inadvertently delivered when the
user expects the system to be in a paused, stopped, or off
condition. The Alaris infusion modules employ measurement
systems to detect and alarm for conditions adverse to safe
administration of fluid. These include measurements of proper
infusion set loading (free flow detection), pressure (occlusion
detection), and air-in-line detection.
The EtC0
module will monitor and alarm when a patient
2
physiological condition is out of range.
The Sp0
module will monitor and alarm when a patient
2
physiological condition is out of range

8015) and Alaris
System instructions and information. It is used
in conjunction with:
• PC Unit/ Pump Module Technical Service Manual
• Product-specific sections of this User Manual
• System Maintenance software (and its instructions) for
Alaris System check-in, maintenance, and wireless configuration
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. The display uses color to clearly communicate critical
programming, infusion, monitoring and hospital-defined policy
information.
The wireless network card provides wireless communication
capability between the Alaris System and Alaris Systems
Manager. The combined use of the Alaris System and Alaris
Systems Manager is integrated into a facility’s existing network
infrastructure.
When enabled, the Alaris Systems Manager allows the
exchange of information between the Alaris Systems Manager
and the Alaris System. The PC unit can be operated
manually or in concert with the information exchanged with the
Alaris Systems Manager. If communication with the wireless
network is interrupted (for example, out of range), the Alaris
System can be used, as intended, in the manual mode.
WARNING
