The Plum A+ is a dual-line volumetric infusion system designed to meet the growing demand for hospital-wide, as well as alternate site and home healthcare, standardization. With its primary line, secondary line, and piggyback fluid delivery capability, the Plum A+ is suited for a wide range of medical/surgical and critical care applications. Full compatibility with LifeCare Plum Series administration sets and accessories. Each system includes a pumping module (hereafter called the infuser) and an assortment of disposable IV sets (hereafter called a set), and optional accessories. The Plum A+ host device contains a Connectivity Engine peripheral module that provides wired Ethernet and wireless 802.11 a/b/g local area networking capabilities. This allows the Hospira Mednet networked application software to download drug libraries to the infuser and enable the autoprogramming feature.
