KLAS Enterprises has produced its first smart pump report and Cardinal Health has earned the spot at the top of the list.

KLAS independently monitors vendor performance through the active participation of thousands of health care organizations and uses a stringent methodology to ensure all data and ratings are accurate and impartial.

The Alaris System with Guardrails suite of safety software is the only infusion safety platform designed as a comprehensive system to protect all types of infusions. The system combines dose error reduction software, a bedside computer, large volume pumps, syringe pumps, and patient-controlled analgesia pumps, as well as continuous respiratory monitoring and bar code identification capabilities onto a single platform.

Wireless connectivity capabilities also enable clinicians to transmit data automatically from the Alaris System to existing clinical information systems and electronic patient records.

More information about the report can be found on the KLAS Web site.
