Alaris Infusion Pump Specifications

Dimensions

• Height: 8.8 In (22.4 cm)
• Width: 6.9 In (17.5 cm)
• Depth: 9 In (22.9 cm)
• Weight: 7.2 lb (3.2 kg)

Battery

• Battery run time is a function of the number of modules attached and module activity. With a new, fully charged battery, the system operates as follows before a “BATTERY DISCHARGED” message occurs:
• 6 Hours: with one Pump module infusing at 25 mL/h
• 6 Hours: with one Pump module infusing at 25 mL/h and one Auto-ID module
• 3 Hours: with four Pump modules infusing at 25 mL/h
• 3 Hours: with four Pump modules infusing at 25 mL/h and one Auto-ID module
• 4.5 Hours: with one active SpO2 module
• 6 Hours: with one Syringe module or PCA module infusing at 5 mL/h
• 3 Hours: with four Syringe modules, or one PCA module and three Syringe modules, infusing at 5 mL/h
• 4 Hours: with one active EtCO2 module

Communication Data Port

• RS-232 with an RJ45 connector

Memory

• The System configuration/data set is stored in compact flash memory along with operating software.
• The events and error logs are stored in the onboard flash memory in the Alaris PC unit and modules. This is a nonvolatile memory and can be held indefinitely or until replaced with new data and not lost when power is turned off or the battery is in a weak/discharged state.
• Module-specific parameters are stored for 8 hours when the system is turned off. After 8 hours of continuous off-time, or if a module is detached, module-specific trend data (if applicable) and module-specific operating parameters are automatically purged. If a PCA, SpO2, or EtCO2 module is detached and replaced with another PCA, SpO2, or EtCO2 module, its module-specific trend data is purged.
• Memory will not be lost due to a weak/discharged battery as data is stored on flash memory as noted.
• Compact flash memory: Stores application software, audio wave files, DataSet, and hex files data for operating system software, all needed to operate the Alaris PC Unit System.
• On-board flash memory: Contains software needed to initially turn on the Alaris 8105 System. Stores boot software applications, and events, errors, and battery logs.

IV Safety
