BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pumps
Overview
Overview
Introduction
These Directions For Use can be used with the BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump (Model: CCneXus1-S).
The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump is a small lightweight Pump that provides accurate and reliable infusions over a
range of rates.
If the model number is CCneXus1, then refer to the relevant Directions For Use for those Pumps.
Note: Any serious incident that occurs in relation to this Pump should be reported to the manufacturer, and to the
relevant local regulatory authority.
The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump functions with a wide range of standard, single-use, disposable Luer lock syringes
together with extension sets. The Pump accepts syringe sizes from 5ml to 50ml. A full list of recognised syringes can
be found in the ‘Recognised Syringes’ section. A list of recommended extension sets can be found in the ‘Compatible
Extension Sets’ section.
The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump can be programmed to deliver fluids utilising rate, volume over time, dose
rate calculation, and pre-programmed drug dosing protocols containing concentration values, and Guardrails™ dosing
safetylimits.
The BD Alaris™ neXus Editor software is a medical device accessory which allows the hospital to develop a best-practice
data set of IV medication dosing guidelines for patient-specific care areas referred to as profiles. Each profile contains a
specific library of drugs, as well as an appropriate Pump configuration.
A profile also contains Guardrails™ Soft and Hard Limits, based on clinical requirements. Soft limits may be overridden
during infusion programming and Hard Limits may not be overridden.
The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump with a data set loaded, provides automatic alerts when a dosing limit, bolus limit,
loading dose limit, age or weight limit has been exceeded. These safety alerts are provided without the need for the Pump
to be connected to a PC or network.
The hospital-defined data set is developed and approved through pharmacy and clinical input, and then transferred into
the Pump by Qualified Service Personnel, either manually using BD Alaris™ neXus Transfer Tool or automatically via BD
Alaris™ Communication Engine.
The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump can connect to the BD Alaris™ Communication Engine, if one is deployed at the
medical facility. Then connected, either by docking to a connected Alaris™ Gateway Workstation or via hospital Wi-Fi.
Pumps infusion data, logs and configuration information will be automatically detected.
The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump allows use of both extension sets with pressure disc for more precise pressure
monitoring or standard extension sets for occlusion detection. The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump features an in-line
pressure sensor technology, capable of highly accurate, real time pressure monitoring. This capability requires the use of
an extension set with a pressure disc to improve the early detection of occlusions, by reducing time to alarm, and reducing
the potential risk of post occlusion bolus.
Intended Purpose
The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pumps are used within hospitals, healthcare facilities and during medical ambulance
ground transport to deliver either continuous or intermittent therapy through clinically acceptable routes of
administration. The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump is intended to be used for the purpose of controlling rate and
volume. The BD Alaris™ neXus CC Syringe Pump is indicated for use on adults, paediatrics and neonates.
