The Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump (herein after referred to as "pump") is a fully featured high end variable pressure syringe pump
suitable for critical care applications.
The Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump functions with a wide range of standard, single-use, disposable Luer lock syringes together with
extension sets. It accepts syringe sizes from 5ml to 50ml. A full list of compatible syringes can be found in the Compatible Syringes section.
A list of recommended extension sets can be found in the Compatible Extension Sets section.
The Guardrails® Safety Software for the Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump brings a new level of medication error prevention to the point
of patient care. The Guardrails® Safety Software allows the hospital to develop a best-practice Data Set of IV medication dosing guidelines for
patient-specific care areas, referred to as profiles. Each profile contains a specific library of drugs, as well as pump configurations appropriate
for the care area. A profile also contains either Guardrails® Hard Limits that cannot be overridden during infusion programming, or Guardrails®
Soft Alerts that can be overridden, based on clinical requirements.
The hospital defined Data Set is developed and approved through pharmacy and clinical input, and then configured into the Alaris® CC
Guardrails® Syringe Pump by qualified technical personnel.
The Alaris® CC Guardrails® Syringe Pump, with a Data Set loaded, provides automatic alerts when a dosing limit, bolus limit, concentration
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.
