Pump Modules and Route of Administration Differentiation

Natalie Nguyen's picture

Forums: 

We have been discussing about re-evaluating our current options for pump modules and the different routes of administration given the current recall of one system and recent technology update requirements.

We currently use BD Alaris for IV infusions, CADD for epidural route, CADD for PCAs, and Smith Medical for pediatric infusions.

I would be interested in hearing from other institutions what types of pump modules are being leveraged for different routes of administration.

Thank you kindly,
Natalie

Hi all, A month or two ago there was a thread about infusion pump committees and I noted my org has a well-oiled group and associated charter. For those of you who wanted to see that, please see attached. The interdisciplinary aspect of this group is indispensable. It's the best functioning team in which I participate across the entire organization. One of our accomplishments given coordination between nursing, pharmacy, biomed, and materials management has been achieving > 90% pumps with the new library within 1 week of library release.
