Who Uses an Alaris Pump Infusion Set? Registered nurses prepare these infusion sets for patients requiring IV medication, fluids, and blood products.
Why They Love It: The sets work as a gravity set or connect to an Alaris Pump Module with its male Luer lock to customize infusions using continuous or intermittent delivery. The infusion sets offer safety compliance with the SmartSite needleless valve and a clamp to prevent accidental free flow.
Overview
The BD Alaris Pump Infusion Set connects to the Alaris Pump system for large-volume infusions. Depending on the patients needs, the pump module reduces the risk of medication error for either continuous or intermittent delivery of fluids, medications, or blood and blood products.
There are a variety of Alaris Infusion Set configurations with differing priming volumes, tubing lengths, drip factors, number of ports, and more. These administration infusion sets have a sterile fluid path, male Luer lock connection, needle-free SmartSite valve, and a pinch tube clamp to prevent accidental free flow. The configurations are designed to use with a bag or bottle.
