New BD Nexus Pumps rollout

November 23, 2023

Medical Engineering are rolling out new BD Nexus pumps (below) to replace the old Alaris pumps. This initiative is aimed at upgrading our technology and enhancing the quality of patient care we provide.

The BD Nexus pumps are equipped with the latest features and functionalities that will help us deliver more efficient and accurate infusion therapy. They come with a user-friendly interface that makes programming and monitoring easier, reducing the risk of errors and improving patient safety.  We will be phasing out the old Alaris pumps over the next few weeks and we will provide support and assistance during the transition period.

When you switch the Nexus pump on, it shows the location it belongs to.  These pumps cannot be swapped with another dept as the settings are relevant to that department.

The Equipment Library Pumps at both sites can be loaned to various departments because the settings on these are standardised (similar to the older pumps).  The new pumps are very similar to the previously BD pumps and the User manual is on the Medical Engineering intranet site.

If you have any questions or concerns about the rollout please contact Medical Engineering on ext: 4070.
