Hospira Plum XL3 Infusion Pump

Hospira Plum XL3 Infusion Pump

The Hospira Plum XL3 Micro/Macro is a multi-line volumetric infusion system designed to support hospital-wide standardization across a variety of clinical settings. It features three independent pumping units—each with its own primary line, secondary line, and piggyback delivery capability—making it highly versatile for medical, surgical, and critical care applications. Fully compatible with LifeCare® PlumSets® administration sets and LifeShield® needleless protection systems, the Plum XL3 provides a convenient and cost-effective solution for complex infusion therapy.

Key features include:

• Triple Independent Pumping Units:
  Three separately programmable pumps allow simultaneous or sequential infusion delivery, providing flexibility for primary, secondary, and piggyback fluid administration.
• Comprehensive Delivery Capability:
  Designed to work with all types of fluid containers, it ensures consistent and accurate delivery with automated air trapping and elimination to maintain safety.
• User-Centric Design:
  Features an easy-to-use interface and automatic memory retention of previous therapy settings and fluid delivery data, streamlining setup and operation.
• Battery & Power:
  Equipped with internal, rechargeable 8 V sealed lead-acid batteries for emergency backup and portable operation. A fully charged battery set will power all pumps for approximately four hours at 125 mL/hr (or until 1,000 mL is delivered cumulatively), with a recharge time of about six hours when the pumping units are off.
