Plum Solo and Plum Duo Precision IV Pumps

Internal testing revealed that under certain conditions, the pump may not display a soft limit alert. LifeShield infusion safety software provides the option to define the maximum dose for the infusion, enable bolus delivery, and define hard and soft limits for the bolus. If the clinician programs a bolus delivery with a medication ruleset that has a maximum dose and bolus soft limits (either lower or upper) defined, and the programmed bolus violates a soft limit, the pump does not notify the clinician of the soft limit violation before confirming and starting delivery.

In this scenario, the pump allows the clinician to confirm and start the bolus without displaying the bolus soft limit alert pop-up, and the dose soft limit icon does not appear on the confirmation screen. The pump does display the soft limit icon on the delivery screen once the bolus starts. Hard limits continue to function as expected.
