Hospira Lifecare PCA

The Hospira Lifecare PCA is a patient-controlled analgesia infusion pump designed for acute care, oncology, and post-operative pain management in adult and pediatric populations. The pump accepts 20 mL, 30 mL, and 50 mL syringes (including Hospira custom syringes) and delivers medication on demand via patient-initiated bolus, with a clinician-initiated bolus option. It connects to Hospira MedNet software, which stores customizable drug libraries for up to 18 clinical care areas—up to 25 medications per area—with configurable hard and soft dosing limits and preset protocols to accelerate programming of standard regimens. The pump features an integrated barcode reader to verify pharmacy-generated barcodes on prefilled or custom-filled vials, reducing medication-matching errors. A backlit LCD display and clear keypad support operation in low-light settings. Programmable lockout intervals, dose limits, and confirmation screens layer additional safety checks into the medication administration workflow. The pump supports wireless connectivity for remote drug library updates and system integration.
