Guardrails Software; Administration Set/Syringe Information - CareFusion Alaris 8015 User Manual

WARNING
• The Guardrails Suite MX incorporates dosing limits
and instrument configuration parameters based on
hospital/facility protocol. The software adds a test of
reasonableness to drug programming based on the
limits defined by the hospital/facility. Qualified personnel
must ensure the appropriateness of drug dosing limits,
drug compatibility, and instrument performance, as part
of the overall infusion. Potential hazards include drug
interactions, inaccurate delivery rates and pressure alarms,
and nuisance alarms.
• When loading a Data Set with the Guardrails Suite MX,
ensure that the correct Profile (for patient care area) is
selected prior to starting an infusion. Failure to use the
appropriate Profile could cause serious consequences.
