Hospira Plum A+3 Features

The Plum A+3 Infusion System with Hospira MedNet Software is a single unit that allows clinicians to manage an industry-leading six-infusion line medication management system throughout the continuum of care.

The wireless-enabled system assists healthcare professionals to better manage the complex medication dosing regimens typically seen in emergency rooms (ERs), intensive care units (ICUs) and oncology centers. Patients in these settings are often critically ill and may require multiple drug infusions delivered at precise doses and on varying schedules. The Plum A+3 with Hospira MedNet Software enables clinicians to deliver these infusions either simultaneously or in specific tiered sequences, depending on each patient’s needs.

  • Deliver infusions with confidence with the unique PlumSet™ technology
  • Automated second-line delivery — eliminates the need to raise and lower infusion containers, improving ease-of-use and efficiency
  • Concurrent delivery of 2 medications through a single patient line
  • Air-in-Line detection and elimination — air trap captures up to 2 mLs of air
  • Accumulated air can be removed by automated back-priming without disconnecting the patient line, reducing the risk of contamination
  • Deliver secondary infusions via IV container or syringe
  • Reliable performance, steady, consistent and proven
  • One integrated system works across the entire spectrum of clinical care
  • Single channel (2 concurrent medications) or triple channel (6 concurrent medications) models available
  • Choose from a variety of programming options:
  • Automated piggyback and concurrent delivery
  • Programmable standby settings
  • Multistep delivery
  • Loading dose automation
  • Programmable delayed starts

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
