Alaris IVAC Signature Gold Series Features The Alaris/IVAC Signature Edition Infusion System includes the Model 7100 and Model 7200 Volumetric Infusion Pumps and AccuSlide Flow Regulator administration sets. The single channel provides a full range of features in a small, easy-to-use, linear peristaltic pump The dual channel offers the same features while providing two, independent infusion pumps in one instrument The pumps may be used to deliver a wide variety of fluids over a broad range of infusion rates from multiple fluid container types. The Signature Edition Infusion system uses a wide variety of AccuSlide Flow Regulator Administration sets. The Alaris/IVAC 72 series sets are designed for use within the pumps as well as for gravity-flow, standalone use. The unique, patented AccuSlide flow Regulator has an integral flow control device that minimizes accidental free-flow when the set is removed from the pump and provides accurate rate control during gravity administration.

General Information About IV Therapy IV Therapy IV therapy is used to deliver by infusion, fluids, medication, or nutrients to patients. There are two main types of administration of infusion, volumetric and syringe/PCA. IV Therapy-Volumetric These pumps are used when the accuracy of fluid volume to be infused is critical such as in the case of medications used for infusion of drugs for circulatory support. Volumetric pumps deliver a given volume of fluid per unit time measured in mL/hour. Volumetric pumps can be single or multi channel. Both types allow for the administration of more than one fluid at a time. Single channel employs a piggyback method while multi-channel uses separate tubing set up for the administration of multiple medications or fluids IV Therapy-Syringe Syringe pumps are used to administer small volumes of fluids or medications. (1 mL to 60 mL syringe) Syringe pumps are an effective way to deliver medication with precision while reducing the chance of human error if the medication were to be administered by a member of the medical staff* (of course human error can occur when inputting data or choosing dose rate over time) Like volumetric pumps, syringe pumps can be programmed to deliver the medication over a predetermined time
