• The Guardrails^® editor software is the authoring tool that manages how medications can be programmed on the infusion system by setting limits on the rates, volumes, and doses that are appropriate for a given patient care area.

• The Guardrails^® Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) reporter software, which provide analysis capabilities to measure effectiveness of hospitals' safety practices.

• The maintenance software supports biomedical engineers or technicians in maintaining, repairing and downloading logs of the Alaris^® system.
