Hello Folks,

​I would really appreciate if anyone could help or direct me to someone who could answer my question.

We are planning to purchase a couple of Alaris/IVAC Medsystem III IV pumps for research purposes. I read on the user manual that the Medsystem III can be remotely controlled via PC.

However I am not sure which model 2860, 2863 or 2865 models have the capabilities allowing you to remotely communicate with the IV pump.

Does anyone know or know of someone who has been successfully able to remotely control the Medsystem III IV pump? if so I'd appreciate if you could please let me know which model and sw version would allow the capabilities to remotely control the IV pump via PC.

​Cheers

Tim

At risk of stating the obvious, what do Carefusion say about this?

My spelling is not bad. I am typing this on a Medigenic keyboard and I blame that for all my typos.

They had no updated information which model had the potential to be remotely controlled via PC. I may have to reach out someone in R&D that would be able to help me. I just need to know the model and sw version before I purchase the IV pump from a third party vendor.

Thanks

Timsta,

I have found the following information on an old document that might help.

"MEDSYSTEM III MULTI-CHANNEL INFUSION PUMP, MODEL 2866, Manufacturer's Part No. 2866AX01 EE. The unit is a small, lightweight, three channel, multi-function fluid delivery instrument. It is microprocessor controlled, and can be configured to use six different infusion device types. It incorporates three independent fluid delivery types in the space of one. Each of the three channels provides the equivalent of an independent infusion device able to pump fluid from syringes, bottles or bags located above or below the level of the instrument. Each channel operates via a disposable infusion cassette. Channels are individually controlled and programmed for infusion tasks. The equipment displays infusion status for rate, volume remaining, and volume infused. Secondary mode allows fluids and medications to be delivered at two different ratessequentially. Infusions are monitored to detect occlusions, air in line and low power. Advanced features include a drug dose calculator, drug library and various visual and audible alarms. A communication Protocol allows clinical monitoring, instrument
configuration and maintenance."

Sorry there is no infomation on the SW version.

I hope this helps.

Thank for the information. Is there any chance this pump can remotely be controlled via PC?
The only Medsystem III models that I have come across are 2860/2863/2865.

Thanks

Tim,

I'm not sure but as there is a communication protocol allowing clinical monitoring then I can't see why not. I haven't got any of these devices anymore so can't help you any further sorry.

Regards

Paddy
