Why Software and Drug Library Compatibility Matter When Expanding Your Alaris Medley Fleet

When you’re adding to your existing fleet of Alaris Medley Infusion Pumps, it’s important to look beyond just the hardware. While the pumps themselves may appear identical, software versions and drug libraries can vary significantly between units—especially when purchasing refurbished equipment.

Matching Software Levels

Every Alaris 8015 PC Unit operates on a specific software version. When expanding your fleet, you’ll want to make sure that any refurbished units you purchase match the same software level as your existing equipment.
This ensures compatibility across your network, helps prevent communication issues with modules, and maintains consistency in operation for your staff.

Drug Library Differences

It’s a common misconception that if the software version matches, the drug libraries will be identical as well—but that’s not always the case.
Drug libraries are customized configurations based on the specific infusions, dosing limits, and protocols used by each facility. Even two hospitals using the same software may have completely different drug libraries.

If a refurbished Alaris 8015 is sourced from another institution, it may contain their previous library—or none at all.

What to Ask Before Purchasing Refurbished Units

When purchasing refurbished Alaris Medley Infusion Pumps, you should never assume the library setup will match your own. Before finalizing your purchase, always ask the vendor the following:

• Do the units include an existing drug library?
• If so, what infusions are included?
• Can the vendor provide or load a specific library that matches your needs?
• Are the software levels consistent with your current fleet?

By asking these questions upfront, you’ll avoid integration issues, prevent confusion among clinical staff, and ensure that your refurbished pumps are ready for immediate use within your environment.
