The LifeCare PCA gives you integrated barcode verification that checks both drug type and concentration before every infusion starts.
The LifeCare PCA gives you integrated barcode verification that checks both drug type and concentration before every infusion starts. Unlike basic PCA pumps that rely on manual programming checks, this system won’t let you proceed until the barcode scan confirms what’s actually loaded matches what’s programmed.
Multiple confirmation screens catch programming errors before they reach the patient, while the key-driven lock system secures both programming access and the medication compartment. The wireless networking connects to Hospira Mednet Safety Software, so you’ll get centralized monitoring and dose history tracking across your entire unit. Worth noting: the distinctive housing design helps prevent line mix-ups during busy periods.
The pole clamp locks directly to your I.V. pole rather than just clamping on. The keypad layout is intuitive enough that you won’t need the manual for routine programming.
