Alaris™ VP Plus Guardrails™ Volumetric Pump

Designed for use in acute and sub-acute areas

Clinicians have the highest expectations of their infusion pumps. Safety, ease of use, and practicality are just some of the most basic requirements. Our Alaris™ VP Plus Guardrails™ volumetric pump from BD delivers exclusive capabilities for significant bedside advantages.

Among these is an in-line pressure sensor technology, capable of highly accurate, real-time pressure monitoring. Improving the early detection of occlusions, by reducing time to alarm, can help reduce sub-therapeutic medication and the risk of IV complications.

Meanwhile, the Alaris™ VP Plus Guardrails™ offers the Guardrails suite of safety software.

The Alaris™ VP Plus Guardrails™ Volumetric pump is indicated for the infusion of fluids, medications, parenteral nutrition, blood and blood products through clinically acceptable routes of administration; such as intravenous (IV), subcutaneous or irrigation of fluid spaces.

The Alaris™ VP Plus Guardrails™ volumetric pump is indicated for use on adults, paediatrics and neonates and offers a range of specialty sets designed to meet the specific needs of these care areas.
