CareFusion Alaris BD MedSystem III (2860, 2863, 2865)

The CareFusion Alaris BD MedSystem III is a versatile, multi-channel infusion pump designed for facilities that require the precise delivery of fluids, medications, blood, and blood products. It supports both continuous and intermittent infusions through a range of clinically acceptable routes—intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, epidural, enteral, and even irrigation. With three independent fluid delivery systems housed within a single compact unit, the MedSystem III can deliver multiple infusions to one patient simultaneously.

Key features include:

• Multi-Channel Delivery:

  • Provides three separate fluid delivery channels in one device, allowing for simultaneous infusions.

• Compact and User-Friendly:

  • Easy setup and operation with a straightforward interface that displays infusion status (rate, volume remaining, and volume infused).

• Flexible Configuration:

  • Accommodates a variety of container types and supports multiple delivery methods.
  • Offers six device types with configurable parameters—such as maximum and minimum infusion rates, volumes, baseline pressures, maximum pressures, and air-in-line thresholds—to tailor the pump to specific clinical applications.

• Advanced Infusion Programming:

  • Infusions can be set to run at a fixed rate or over a designated period.
  • A secondary mode allows for sequential delivery of fluids and medications at different rates.
  • Integrated Dose Rate Calculator (DRC) performs volumetric and dose rate calculations, displaying the dosing regimen and drug name for enhanced safety.

• Integrated Communications and Maintenance:

  • Supports a communications protocol that enables clinical monitoring, configuration, and maintenance.
  • Field Maintenance Software (FMS) is available for biomedical technicians to configure, service, and troubleshoot the system.

• IV Safety:

  • Uses administration sets with free-flow protection to ensure secure delivery of infusions.
