Alaris neXus GP Volumetric Pump
The BD Alaris neXus GP Volumetric Pump is a small lightweight volumetric infusion pump that provides accurate and reliable infusions over a range of rates .
The BD Alaris neXus GP Volumetric Pump can be programmed to deliver fluids utilising rate, volume over time, dose rate calculation, and pre-programmed drug dosing protocols containing drug concentration values, and Guardrails dosing safety limits .
The BD Alaris neXus Editor software is a medical device accessory which allows the hospital to develop a best-practice data set of IV medication dosing guidelines for patients-specific care areas referred to as profiles .
Each profile contains a specific library of drugs, as well as an appropriate Pump configuration .A profile also contains Guardrails Soft and Hard Limits, based on clinical requirements . Soft Limits may be overridden during infusion programming and Hard Limits may not be overridden .
The BD Alaris neXus GP Volumetric Pump with a data set loaded, provides automatic alerts when a dosing limit, bolus limit or weight limit has been exceeded . These safety alerts are provided without the need for the Pump to be connected to a PC or network .
The hospital defined data set is developed and approved through pharmacy and clinical input, and then transferred into the Pump by Qualified Service Personnel, using BD Alaris neXus Transfer Tool .
