Infusion products

Together, the Alaris® System
and our portfolio of IV sets
and accessories help improve
patient safety and reduce
costs through the prevention
of medication errors.

The risk of medication errors during infusion therapy is one hospitals cannot afford.

Fortunately, many medication errors are preventable. That is why CareFusion is focused on helping hospitals reduce these errors. We provide
market-leading infusion products that help improve the quality, safety and costs of the care you provide.

Medication errors

• 1.5 million patients annually experience a medication error,1 costing $8,750 per PADE2

• Alaris CQI aggregate data shows that at least one harmful infusion error is averted every 1.8 days with Guardrails® Suite MX software3

The Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX software is
a smart IV medication safety system that can help protect
every infusion to guard you and your patients from
medication errors.

Unique multi-modality and modular design

The Alaris System combines a single point-of-care unit
featuring Guardrails Suite MX safety software with
large volume pump, PCA, respiratory monitoring (SpO2
and EtCO2), syringe and barcoding capabilities to help
protect every type of infusion.

The only system available today to protect dose and
duration, including intermittent infusions

Guardrails Suite MX software is the only dose-error
reduction software (DERS) available today that offers two
safety software limits for intermittent infusions—total dose
and duration. This software can help safeguard continuous
and intermittent infusions.

Overwhelmed with raw data, hospitals need
ways to effectively use this data to reduce the risk of
patient harm and improve clinical practices. The Alaris
System captures infusion data for continuous quality
improvement (CQI) in the patient care process.

CQI data allows you to:

• Identify an out-of-limit alert or programming change
to identify disparities between practice and policy

• Track near-misses that could have resulted in adverse
drug events (ADEs), and use this information to
educate personnel

• Identify process improvement opportunities to
drive clinical best practices

• Demonstrate compliance with national safety
standards for using smart pump technology

By transforming your infusion data into actionable
intelligence, you can make measurable improvements,
help prevent errors and guide future care.

Expert analysis of infusion data.

Our Infusion Analytics Service provides
intuitive reports, so hospitals can analyze
infusion activity and answer critical safety
questions. This service helps you easily and
measurably improve the overall quality
of patient care. It also delivers insights
without requiring additional technical or
in-house staffing resources to manage and
analyze data.

A wireless foundation that
enables efficient and timely
data transfer.

To make a smart pump decision today, you must determine
how this technology fits into your hospital’s future wireless
and interoperability goals.

CareFusion is positioned to help you build the foundation
you need to achieve your connectivity goals and improve
patient safety. We have proven experience helping multiple
large IDNs support all infusion monitoring devices and
modalities on a single server. A strong, reliable wireless
infrastructure ensures you efficiently access and transfer
data, supporting your healthcare IT initiatives while
improving safety and costs. The Alaris System provides
the only true enterprise-grade, secure deployment
architecture proven in hundreds of hospitals in the
United States.

Our reliable wireless infrastructure enables
you to efficiently access and transfer data,
supporting your healthcare IT initiatives
while helping improve safety and costs.
