epidural infusion pumps

[pencan]

Anyone use the Hospira Gemstars? What is your opinion on these pumps. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Thanks

We use the gemstar yellow pumps where I'm at. They seem to function alright in both continuous and PCEA programing. Dont seem to break very often, if at all. Cassette/tubing is easy to flush and install. Don't know about the cost of pump/tubing compared to others. Thats about all I got.

We use the Gemstar as well. Seems to be reliable, but it requires lots of step to program, confirm, or change, and each step seems to be associated with really long wait times to process your commands.
