BD’s Alaris System wins Best in KLAS award for 2015

BD's Alaris System has been recognised for its industry-leading qualities in the 2015 Best in KLAS: Medical Equipment report.

The Alaris System was named Best in KLAS within the smart pumps category by report author KLAS, an organisation that independently monitors healthcare IT performance through the participation of thousands of healthcare organisations.

According to the report, key advantages of BD's service offering include its interoperability with electronic medical records, while customers benefit from receiving patient-controlled analgesia and syringe modules via the same pump.

In addition, the report stated that consistent customer service is another advantage for BD customers, as other large-volume pump vendors do not often provide the same level of support to clients.

JC Kyrillos, worldwide vice-president and general manager for infusion solutions for BD, said: "We continue to invest in innovation to maintain our technical leadership for infusion solutions that help clinicians deliver safer and more efficient care."

This comes after the Alaris System was rated as the industry leader for interoperability with electronic medical records in the Smart Pump/EMR Integration report released by KLAS earlier this year.
