Introduction
This section of the user manual provides auto-ID module (model 8600) instructions and information. It is
used in conjunction with:
• Auto-ID Label Guidelines
• Technical Service Manual Alaris® Auto-ID Module, Model 8600
• Module-specific chapters of this user manual
• PCU chapter of this manual (see Getting Started
on page 16)
•
System maintenance software (and its instructions) for system che
ck-in, maintenance, and
configurations for connecting the PCUs to the wireless network
The addition of the auto-ID module to the system with Guardrails suite
MX
combines dose limit
technology and barcode technology to enhance medication safety. The auto-ID module contains an internal
barcode image scanner and supports an optional Alaris
TM
auto-ID handheld scanner supplied by
CareFusion. Scanning a barcoded clinician ID and/or a barcoded patient identification band supports
verification of the correct patient and associates the CQI event logs with the clinician and/or patient. In
addition, using the auto-ID handheld scanner allows an IV solution drug and concentration to be
automatically selected from the drug library. Scanned solution containers can be used for pump module,
syringe module, and PCA module infusions. Although multiple auto-ID modules may electrically connect,
only one module will have auto-ID functionality. Auto-ID may be added as a fifth module.
The system with the auto-ID module is intended to provide trained hea
lthcare caregivers a way to automate
infusion parameter input, thereby decreasing the number of manual steps necessary to enter infusion data.
All data entry and infusion parameter validation is performed by the trained healthcare professional
according to a physician’s order.

ndix A, Regulations and Standards and Compliance on
