Approved Parts Recommendation
CareFusion recommends the use of CareFusion manufactured parts in the operation and maintenance of
your CareFusion equipment. Customer's use of repair or service parts, add-ons, or disposables that are not
approved by CareFusion is at Customer's own risk and may void the product warranty provided by
CareFusion. Any 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or regulatory approval
secured by CareFusion to market Alaris pumps was based on use of only CareFusion manufactured parts
and equipment. If non-CareFusion parts, add-ons or disposables are used for the maintenance, repair or
operation of your CareFusion equipment, those parts were not validated by CareFusion for safety and
efficacy with our BD Alaris and Alaris products, nor were they included in the review and approval/
clearance of the products.
If it becomes necessary to replace the following cables or accessories
, use only approved parts that are
listed in the Technical Service Manual. Use of other parts may affect electromagnetic compliance of the
Alaris System.
• PCU Power Cord
• PCU Serial Cable
• PCA Dose Request Cord
• Handheld Barcode Scanner
