Abstract
The Model 8000 versions of the CareFusion Alaris Point-of-Care (PC) and Medley PC may, in rare cases, display an incorrect total dose value when programmed to deliver a bolus. The manufacturer states that its investigation of the problem is ongoing but recommends that users of affected pumps carefully verify that the bolus dose has been programmed correctly before initiating a delivery.
