Bottom line question to the group:

- has your institution reviewed and/or approved the usage of non-BD syringes for your smart infusion pumps?

More details below:

In the last few years, there have been recalls for both smart infusion pumps and syringes issued by the FDA. At our institution, our main smart infusion pump used is the BD Alaris system. Recently, BD Alaris pumps received full 510k FDA approval. These new pumps now have a more restrictive syringe and PCA compatibility list.

Can anyone share their experience with Baxter IV pumps?
We currently have Alaris and are interested in Baxter's Spectrum IQ pump.

I appreciate any information you can share,
