Epidural Pumps

With Sapphire pumps halting manufacturing next year, we are in search of what others are doing regardless of if you use these particular pumps.

1. What pumps does your hospital/system use for epidurals?
2. Does your epidural pump have the capability for interop with the EMR. We are interested specifically with Cerner, but any would be useful.
3. If you utilize the PCA module (for example with Alaris), what interventions are in place to avoid wrong route administrations?

Thank you in advance for your responses.
