Alaris® PCA module used with continuous respiratory monitoring modules

Setting new standards for PCA therapy

The Alaris® System brings together PCA and continuous respiratory monitoring modules on a single platform to address medication safety throughout the duration of PCA therapy.

PCA, a standard therapy for effectively managing post-operative pain, is not without serious potential for harm. FDA MAUDE data suggests a PCA event is four times more deadly than other infusions1.

The Alaris® System is the first and only technology that offers the most commonly used safety technologies - PCA, large volume infusion, syringe, pulse oximetry (SpO2), capnography (EtCO2) and bar coding - for all infusions, with wireless connectivity to transmit pertinent data to existing clinical information systems and electronic patient records.

Patients will be provided protection with:

  • Right programming - The Alaris® Auto-ID module confirms the right drug, right dose and right patient, while also capturing patient and clinician ID for potential eMAR documentation
  • Right monitoring - Offers unique ability for the clinician to automatically pause PCA infusion if a patient falls below your hospital-defined respiratory limits
  • Right feedback - Captures patient PCA dose history with corresponding oxygenation and respiratory levels throughout the post-operative stay
