Hospira Plum A+3

Hospira Plum A+3 Infusion Pump

The Hospira Plum A+3 is a triple-channel infusion pump that allows multiple infusion lines to be run simultaneously. Designed for high-demand environments such as ERs, ICUs, and Oncology centers, this advanced pump integrates Hospira MedNet safety software and a barcode point-of-care system to ensure accurate, secure medication delivery. With its wireless-enabled system, clinicians can program and monitor infusions in real time, whether delivering primary, secondary, or concurrent medications in a tiered sequence.

Key Features:

• Multi-Channel Flexibility:

  • Triple-channel design supports simultaneous infusions on up to 6 concurrent medication lines.
  • Allows for automated piggyback and concurrent delivery, as well as programmable standby settings, multi-step delivery, loading dose automation, and delayed starts.

• PlumSet™ Technology:

  • Unique technology that delivers infusions with confidence by ensuring consistent dosing.

• Automated Second-Line Delivery:

  • Eliminates the need to manually raise and lower infusion containers, enhancing ease-of-use and efficiency.

• Air-in-Line Detection & Elimination:

  • Built-in air trap captures up to 2 mL of air.
  • Automated back-priming removes accumulated air without disconnecting the patient line, reducing the risk of contamination.

• Versatile Infusion Options:

  • Delivers secondary infusions via IV container or syringe.
  • Supports a wide variety of programming options to match clinical needs.

• Wireless Connectivity:

  • Facilitates real-time infusion monitoring and supports real-time 5-rights verification.

• User-Centric Design:

  • Intuitive programming screens, clear numeric keypad, and confirmation prompts ensure accurate dosing.
  • Integrated system works seamlessly across the entire spectrum of clinical care.
