versions prior to 2 .3 .4

Alaris Gateway Workstation (Workstation) with software versions 1 .1 .3, 1 .1 .3 MR, 1 .1 .5, 1 .2, 1 .3 .0, 1 .6 .0 or 1 .5 do not
support the new Pump low priority visual alarms scheme defined in IEC 60601-1-8: 2012 . For Pumps with version 2 .3 .4
software or higher docked into these Workstations there will be a mismatch of alarm priority displayed . As a result,
Near End Of Infusion, AC Power Fail, Add Drug Not Complete, and Attention alarms will display as a medium visual
priority alarms on the Workstation beacon and a low priority alarm on the Pump . Additionally, 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 . In the event of an alarm priority mismatch, the User should refer to
the alarm on the Pump for the correct priority .
