General question if I may ...........

We would like to know what pumps other trusts are using as regards to the above title.
Are they having any issues with accumulative air alarms,this is in regard to any make or model.

We look forward to any replies.

Hi Skippy

We use the Carefusion Signature Gold dual channel infusion pumps for our TPN.
Not too many problems with them, generally the air in line sensor housing cracks where it connects to a gear and gets a little wobbly, but that's after a few years heavy use.

Hi,

Hospital I've recently moved from also used the Signature Gold, both for TPN and blood. They used single channel devices to the number required as they had no dual channel versions.
