Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Alaris 8100 Infusion Pump Module?

The Alaris 8100 Infusion Pump Module is a large-volume infusion pump module designed to work with the BD/CareFusion Alaris Medley 8000 and 8015 Point-of-Care (PC) Units. It is used to deliver intravenous fluids, medications, blood products, and nutritional therapies with advanced medication safety features and customizable drug libraries.

Can the Alaris 8100 operate by itself?

No. The Alaris 8100 Pump Module cannot operate independently. It must be attached to an Alaris Medley 8000 or 8015 Point-of-Care Unit (PCU), which provides the display, user interface, battery power, networking, and drug library functionality.

What types of infusions can the Alaris 8100 administer?

The Alaris 8100 is designed for the delivery of fluids, medications, blood, blood products, and nutritional therapies using continuous or intermittent infusion methods. It supports adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients and can be used for intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, epidural, enteral, and irrigation applications.

What is Guardrails® Suite MX software?

Guardrails® Suite MX is the Alaris medication safety software platform that utilizes customizable drug libraries, dose error reduction software (DERS), clinical advisories, and soft and hard dose limits to help reduce infusion programming errors before therapy begins.

Does the Alaris 8100 have a drug library?

Yes. When connected to an Alaris 8000 or 8015 PCU configured with Guardrails software, the Alaris system can utilize facility-specific drug libraries containing medications, concentrations, dosing units, care areas, and safety limits.

Do refurbished Alaris 8100 modules include a drug library?

Typically, no. Drug libraries are developed and maintained by individual healthcare facilities and are customized to their specific medications, concentrations, dosing protocols, and clinical workflows. During refurbishment, previous facility drug libraries are often removed, requiring the purchasing facility to install or update their own drug library.

Can the Alaris 8100 be used without a drug library?

Yes. The Alaris 8100 can operate in Basic Infusion mode without a drug library installed. However, facilities will not have access to Guardrails dose error reduction software and medication safety features unless a facility-specific drug library is configured.

Can Outfront Medical install my hospital's drug library?

In most cases, healthcare facilities develop and maintain their own drug libraries through their pharmacy department, nursing leadership, biomedical engineering, and clinical informatics teams. Software version compatibility with an existing Alaris fleet should be verified before purchase.

How many Alaris modules can be attached to one PCU?

The Alaris Medley system supports up to four infusion or monitoring modules connected to a single Alaris 8000 or 8015 Point-of-Care Unit, allowing clinicians to customize the system for each patient's needs.

Does the Alaris 8100 support primary and secondary infusions?

Yes. The Alaris 8100 supports both primary infusions and secondary (piggyback) infusions, allowing clinicians to administer multiple therapies safely and efficiently.

What flow rates does the Alaris 8100 support?

The Alaris 8100 supports infusion rates from 0.1 mL/hr to 999 mL/hr, with 0.1 mL/hr increments at lower rates and 1 mL/hr increments at higher rates.

Does the Alaris 8100 have dose calculation capabilities?

Yes. When used with Guardrails software, the Alaris 8100 supports weight-based dosing, dose calculations, concentration calculations, and customizable medication protocols.

What IV administration sets are used with the Alaris 8100?
