I'v been requested to research the new infusion pumps on the market. I've seen the Alaris smart pump, and the Hospira model.  Are there any other new IV infusion pumps on the market?
I would love to hear from people who have used these pumps to give me pros and cons of each.

We use the Sigma Spectrum pump. IT is small, easy to use and no major problems . cardiac surgery has using this pump for about 3 yrs the rest of the hospital for 1 yr. We found it superior to the Alarias, Baxter and B Braun pumps. We are a 250 bed adult acute care hospital. We are part of a group of 4 hospitals all of which use this pump. We are very satisfied with it.

My hospital is in the process of trialing smart pumps. While we have not made a final decision yet, I am starting to really like the B. Braun Outlook 400ES.
