versions prior to 2.3.4
• 3RD EDITION ALARMS: Low, medium and high priority alarm tones in accordance with IEC 60601-1-8: 2012 and IEC 60601-2-

Alaris Gateway Workstation (Workstation) with software versions 1.1.3, 1.1.3 MR, 1.1.5, 1.2, 1.3.0, 1.6.0 or 1.5 do not
support the new Pump low priority visual alarms scheme defined in IEC 60601-1-8: 2012. For Pumps with version 2.3.4
software or higher docked into these Workstations there will be a mismatch of alarm priority displayed. As a result,
Near End Of Infusion, AC Power Fail, Add Drug Not Complete, and Attention alarms will display as a medium visual
priority alarms on the Workstation beacon and a low priority alarm on the Pump. Additionally, for certain information
signals, e.g. those associated with Add Drug Not Complete and Titration Not Confirmed, the Workstation beacon will
illuminate while the beacon on the pump will not. In the event of an alarm priority mismatch, the User should refer to
the alarm on the Pump for the correct priority.
