What is Guardrails® Suite MX software?

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

Does the Alaris 8015 include a drug library?

Contact us about Drug Library. The Alaris 8015 supports facility-specific drug libraries through Guardrails® software. These libraries can contain medications, concentrations, dosing limits, care areas, and clinical advisories customized by each healthcare facility.

Do refurbished Alaris 8015 systems 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, patient populations, 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 8015 operate without a drug library?

Yes. The Alaris system can operate in Basic Infusion mode without Guardrails protection enabled. However, facilities will not have access to advanced medication safety features, dose checking, and clinical advisories unless a facility-specific drug library is installed.

Can Outfront Medical install my hospital's drug library?

No.  In most cases, healthcare facilities develop and maintain their own drug libraries through their pharmacy department, nursing leadership, biomedical engineering department, and clinical informatics teams. Software version compatibility with an existing Alaris fleet should be verified prior to purchase.
