CareFusion (BD)

CareFusion is a medical technology brand, acquired by BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) in 2015, best known for the Alaris infusion system and the Pyxis automated dispensing product line. CareFusion does not expose a public developer API; instead, its devices and dispensing systems interoperate with hospital EMRs and pharmacy systems over HL7 v2 messaging, smart-pump interoperability middleware, and vendor-managed integration services. The Alaris Infusion Interoperability program wirelessly transmits orders from EMRs (such as Epic and Cerner) into Alaris large-volume and syringe modules and returns infusion status back to the EMR in near real time, using the Alaris Guardrails drug library as a safety layer.
