The BD Alaris Pump Module System is an infusion pump and vital signs monitoring system that consists of a PC Unit, the Guardrails Suite MX, and up to four removable infusion or monitoring modules (channels). The System is used to deliver fluids including medications, blood, or blood products, into a patient's body in a controlled manner. It is used in hospitals and other health care facilities.
This could lead to keys that become unresponsive or stuck (See Figure 1). This may lead to an infusion delay or interruption or prevent clinicians from changing fluid or medication infusions on the affected devices.
To schedule remediation of the affected devices at your facility, contact BD at 1-888-562-6018. A BD service technician will visit your facility and perform keypad replacements of affected devices at no charge. Complete and return the Customer Response Form to acknowledge receipt of the notification and the recall instructions.
The FDA has identified this as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries or death.
Pump modules are typically used throughout healthcare facilities for large volume infusions and indicated for use on adults, pediatrics and neonates through clinically acceptable routes of administration such as: intravenous (IV), intra-arterial (IA), subcutaneous, epidural, enteral or irrigation of fluid spaces.
Yes. The Alaris Pump module causes no clinically significant hemolysis while infusing red cells or platelets. The following are some of the blood administration sets that can be used to administer blood products:
Yes, the Alaris Pump module administration sets were developed for specific use with the Alaris Pump module. By manufacturing both the infusion devices and applicable administration sets we can ensure and confirm the stated accuracy flow rates. BD offers a wide variety of dedicated IV administration sets for the Alaris Pump module. Use of any other sets may cause improper instrument operation, resulting in an inaccurate fluid delivery or other potential hazard.
No. The Alaris System is not recommended in this use. Even though the Alaris System’s accuracy is not affected by pressures of +300 mmHg for the Alaris Pump module, we cannot recommend specific therapies. ECMO is a therapy used in hospitals and our testing and documentation is not therapy-specific.
Alaris smart pumps help increase safety for patients, clinicians and hospitals. They reduce infusing errors, reduce stress and help make sure the patient is always receiving the best care with the latest technology free from infusion errors.
The Alaris 8100 can be updated wirelessly to have the latest drug and IV parameters and other important safety enhancements. The 8100 includes dose rate calculations and other advanced features.
It is just another terminology used to describe the system. Modules have no cords or batteries so it isn’t necessary to charge them or have to have them plugged in. However a module must be connected to an Alaris PCU to function.
