Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Baxter Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump with Wireless B/G?
The Baxter Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump with Wireless B/G is a smart large-volume infusion pump designed to deliver intravenous fluids, medications, blood products, and nutritional therapies with advanced safety features. The wireless B/G capability allows the pump to communicate with hospital networks for drug library updates, quality reporting, and electronic medical record (EMR) integration.
What does "Wireless B/G" mean?
Wireless B/G refers to the pump's IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network capability, which allows healthcare facilities to connect the pump to their secure wireless infrastructure for communication with Baxter's gateway and medication safety systems.
What types of infusions can the Baxter Sigma Spectrum administer?
The Baxter Sigma Spectrum can administer intravenous medications, hydration fluids, blood products, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), secondary infusions, and other prescribed infusion therapies in hospitals, infusion centers, and alternate care settings.
What is the Master Drug Library (MDL)?
The Master Drug Library (MDL) is a customizable database of medications, concentrations, dosing limits, care areas, and infusion protocols designed to help reduce medication programming errors and improve patient safety.
What is Dose Error Reduction Software (DERS)?
Dose Error Reduction Software (DERS) helps prevent infusion programming errors by comparing programmed infusion parameters against predefined soft and hard limits established by the healthcare facility.
Does the Baxter Sigma Spectrum support wireless drug library updates?
Yes. Facilities using the wireless B/G platform can distribute drug library updates throughout their infusion pump fleet without physically connecting to each pump, helping maintain consistent medication safety protocols.
Does the Baxter Sigma Spectrum support electronic medical record (EMR) integration?
Yes. The Sigma Spectrum platform supports integration with major EMR systems, including Epic and Cerner, allowing infusion data to be automatically documented within the patient's electronic medical record.
What flow rates does the Baxter Sigma Spectrum support?
The Baxter Sigma Spectrum supports infusion rates from 0.5 mL/hr to 999 mL/hr, with fine adjustment increments for accurate medication delivery.
What infusion modes are available?
The Sigma Spectrum supports continuous infusions, secondary (piggyback) infusions, amount/time programming, multi-step programs, and cyclic TPN administration.
Does the Baxter Sigma Spectrum include a rechargeable battery?
Yes. The pump utilizes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides several hours of operation during patient transport or power interruptions.
What IV administration sets are used with the Baxter Sigma Spectrum?
The Baxter Sigma Spectrum utilizes proprietary Baxter administration sets designed specifically for the Sigma Spectrum infusion platform to help optimize infusion accuracy and safety.
Is this Baxter Sigma Spectrum new or refurbished?
This Baxter Sigma Spectrum infusion pump has been professionally refurbished, tested, calibrated, and verified for proper operation prior to shipment by Outfront Medical.
Do refurbished Baxter Sigma Spectrum pumps include a drug library?
Contact us about Drug Library. Drug libraries are developed and maintained by individual healthcare facilities and are customized to their specific medications, concentrations, dosing limits, and clinical protocols. Refurbished pumps may have previous drug libraries removed during the refurbishment process and often require the purchasing facility to install or update their own drug library.
Can the Baxter Sigma Spectrum be used without a drug library?
Yes. The pump can operate in basic infusion mode without an installed drug library. However, facilities will not have access to advanced dose error reduction features until their customized drug library is installed.
Can Outfront Medical install my facility's drug library?
In most cases, healthcare facilities develop and maintain their own drug libraries through their pharmacy, nursing leadership, biomedical engineering, and clinical informatics departments. Compatibility with existing software versions should be verified before purchase.
Does the Baxter Sigma Spectrum support Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)?
Yes. The Sigma Spectrum platform supports CQI reporting, allowing facilities to analyze infusion practices, monitor compliance, and identify opportunities to improve medication safety.
How does the Baxter Sigma Spectrum compare to the BD Alaris infusion pump?
Both the Baxter Sigma Spectrum and BD Alaris platforms provide smart infusion technology and dose error reduction systems. The Sigma Spectrum is known for its compact size, ease of drug library navigation, wireless drug library updates, and high drug library compliance rates among clinical users.
Is the Baxter Sigma Spectrum suitable for hospitals and infusion centers?
Yes. The Baxter Sigma Spectrum was designed for acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, infusion centers, and other healthcare facilities that require smart infusion pump technology and advanced medication safety features.
What warranty is included?
This refurbished Baxter Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump includes a 1-year warranty from Outfront Medical.
Why choose the Baxter Sigma Spectrum Infusion Pump with Wireless B/G?
The Baxter Sigma Spectrum combines smart infusion technology, wireless connectivity, dose error reduction software, EMR integration capabilities, customizable drug libraries, and a compact user-friendly design to provide reliable and safe infusion delivery across a wide range of healthcare environments.
