2/29/24 Morphine PCA
February 29, 2024

Good morning, 

The commercially available morphine PCAs that we have traditionally used are now incompatible with the newly upgraded PCA pumps. 
Going forward any order for a morphine PCA will be prepared and dispensed by PSP. 
The usage of morphine PCAs have declined greatly and we do not anticipate loading these in Pyxis machines due to the short expiration.
