Managing your patients’ anaesthesia requires precise devices. Built on the BD Alaris neXus Platform, the BD Alaris neXus PK Syringe Pump is designed to offer timely, precise and effective anaesthesia for children and adults.

Improving workflow efficiency

Workflow efficiency is highly important in busy operating rooms. The pump offers a user-friendly interface and a large display showing all infusion data at a glance.

Promoting patient safety

The pump offers a broad range of plasma (PK) and effect-site pharmacodynamic (PD) targeting models. The Eleveld Propofol and Eleveld Remifentanil models are able to provide PD target steering for children, helping anaesthetists meet IV anaesthesia requirements in a timely and accurate way.
