The addition of the Auto-ID module to the Alaris System with
Guardrails Suite MX combines dose limit technology
and barcode technology to enhance medication safety. The
Auto-ID module contains an internal barcode image scanner
and supports an optional handheld scanner supplied by
CareFusion. Scanning a barcoded clinician ID and/or a
barcoded patient identification band supports verification of the
correct patient and associates the CQI event logs with the
clinician and/or patient. In addition, using the scanner allows an
IV solution drug and concentration to be automatically selected
from the Drug Library. Scanned solution containers can be
used for Pump, Syringe and PCA infusions. Only one Auto-ID
module can be connected to the Alaris System but it can be
added as a fifth module.
The Alaris System with the Auto-ID module is intended to
provide trained healthcare caregivers a way to automate
infusion parameter input, thereby decreasing the number of
manual steps necessary to enter infusion data. All data entry
and infusion parameter validation is performed by the trained
healthcare professional according to a physician's order.
Electromagnetic Environment: See "Appendix" section
of this User Manual ("Regulations and Standards,"
