Alaris™ Gateway Workstation (Workstation) with software versions 1.1.3, 1.1.3 MR, 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.2, 1.5
or 1.6.0 do not support the new Pump low priority visual alarms scheme defined in IEC 60601-1-8: 2012.
Low priority alarms (Near End of Infusion, AC Power Fail, Add Drug Not Complete, and Attention) will
display as medium visual priority alarms on the Workstation beacon and a low priority alarm on the
Pump. For certain Information signals, e.g. those associated with Add Drug Not Complete and Titration
Not Confirmed, the Workstation beacon will illuminate while the beacon on the Pump will not. The User
should refer to the alarm on the Pump for the correct priority.
