Description: The PharmGuard Administrator Medication Safety Software, previously the CADD-Solis Medication Safety Software, is a medical safety software for Medfusion syringe pumps. This technology allows protocol administrators to set up protocol libraries for point of care users working with CADD-Solis ambulatory infusion pumps or PharmGuard Point of Care Medication Safety Software. This technology allows users to create a series of pump settings and parameters for quick and consistent use by end users. Protocol libraries allow for simultaneous programmable hard and soft limits for dose, weight, time, and all modes of delivery. PharmGuard Administrator allows for custom programming of multiple area specific configurations. Additionally, this technology allows administrators to determine the amount of flexibility the point of care user can have in editing protocols. This technology may also be used to print barcodes and view reports.

Note: This evaluation covers only the software associated with the hardware, and not the hardware itself.

This technology uses a Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server database to store Protocol Libraries, usage logs, and user account information.
