NOTE:
There is a potential that the concentration displayed on the
Alaris System PC unit will use different units of measure
than the concentration displayed in the EMR/HIS. The Alaris
System PC unit displays the concentration (drug amount per
1 mL) using the dosing units assigned to that Guardrails drug
entry. (Note: The Alaris System allows Continuous Infusions
to be dosed in different units than the units used in the Drug
Amount.) However, the Alaris System sends the concentration
to the EMR/HIS using the units of the Drug Amount.
It is important to note that the concentration displayed
on the Alaris System PC unit should be equivalent to the
concentration displayed in the EMR/HIS even if different units
of measure are used.
The following example is for a continuous drug that has a Drug
Amount in grams, but is dosed in mg:
Displayed on Alaris
System PC unit
Drug Amount: 1 gram
Diluent Volume: 100 mL
[Conc]: 10 mg/mL
NOTE:
It is possible to program an infusion with a rate that is
displayed with two decimal places (one-hundredth of a mL per
hour) on the PC unit for the Pump module. However, due to
space limitations on the Pump module rate display, the rate
is displayed to the nearest one-tenth of a mL per hour on the
Pump module. This value is only used for display purposes
and the Pump module is actually infusing at the more precise
rate noted on the PC unit.
