description: 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.

  name: Alaris Infusion Interoperability
  description: The Alaris Infusion Interoperability solution connects the Alaris System (large-volume pump modules and syringe
    modules) to hospital EMR platforms so that physician infusion orders flow wirelessly into pumps and live infusion status
    is returned to the EMR. The integration is delivered through BD's infusion interoperability middleware and is typically
    deployed with Epic and Cerner EMRs using HL7 v2 messaging. The Alaris Guardrails drug library provides the clinical decision
    support and safety layer that validates dose, concentration, and delivery parameters before a pump accepts an order.

  name: Pyxis Automated Dispensing Integration
  description: Pyxis MedStation and Pyxis ES automated dispensing cabinets integrate with hospital pharmacy information systems
    and EMRs so that medication profiles, inventory, and dispense events are synchronized. Integration is delivered through
    BD Pyxis interoperability services using HL7 v2 messaging (ADT, ORM, RDE, RDS) and direct pharmacy system connectors rather
    than a public REST API.
