INTRODUCTION
The LifeCare
PCA
™
with ICU Medical MedNet
™
Software is a patient-controlled analgesia
management system designed to meet the fluid delivery requirements of today’s evolving
healthcare environments. The system is comprised of a pole mounted or tabletop drug
infuser (LifeCare PCA), barcoded drug vials with a variety of pre-filled drugs and drug
concentrations (LifeCare PCA vial), and compatible administration sets.
The LifeCare PCA is a self-contained, microprocessor-based infusion device that features
keypad controls, a prompting alphanumeric display, an LED display, an integral locking
system, a pole clamp, a barcode reader designed to automate drug identification,
and field-upgradeable software.
The device contains a Connectivity Engine (CE) that provides wired Ethernet
communication and wireless communication via WiFi protocol 802.11 a/b/g.
ICU Medical MedNet networked application software allows a facility to customize
and download a Drug Library for use with the infusion system. Before using the software,
see the

The infusion system is intended to operate on AC power. An internal battery is provided
to maintain operation for short periods of time during patient transport and when
AC power is lost or not available.
