WARNINGS
• The Homepump Eclipse pump must be filled 4 hours prior
to administration to infuse at the labeled flow rate.
• If the pump is used immediately after filling, flow
rate may increase by up to 50%.
• Medications or fluids must be administered per
instructions provided by the drug manufacturer. Physician
is responsible for prescribing drug based on each patient's
clinical status (such as age, body weight, disease state of
patient, concomitant medication, etc.).
• There is no alarm or alert when flow interruption occurs,
therefore life-supporting medications whose usage may
cause serious injury or death due to stoppage or under-
delivery are not recommended for infusion with the device.
• There is no indicator of pump infusion status, therefore use
caution where over-delivery of medications could result in
serious injury or death.
• It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to ensure
patient is educated in the proper use of the system.

CAUTIONS
•
Do not use if package is open, damaged or a protector cap
is missing.
•
The Homepump Eclipse* pump is sterile, non-pyrogenic
and single use only. Do not resterilize, refill or reuse. Reuse of
the device could result in the following risks:
• Improper functioning of the device (i.e. inaccurate flow rate)
• Increased risk of infection
• Occlusion of the device (i.e. impedes or stops infusion)
• Do not remove from package until ready to use.
•
Product uses Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
plasticized PVC:
• DEHP is a commonly used plasticizer in medical
devices. There is no conclusive scientific evidence to
date that exposure to DEHP has a harmful effect on
humans. However, the risk and benefit of using medical
devices with DEHP for pregnant women, breastfeeding
mothers, infants and children should be evaluated
prior to use.
• Certain solutions may be incompatible with the
PVC material used in the administration set. Consult
drug package insert and other available sources of
information for a more thorough understanding of
possible incompatibility problems.
• Do not fill less than minimum or exceed maximum fill
volume of pump. (Table 1)
• Clamp is provided to stop the infusion. Do not remove or break
clamp. Do not use clamp as an intermittent delivery device.
• Roll tubing between fingers to promote flow if clamped
for extended time.
• The labeled flow rate and fill volume for each pump are
identified on the fill port.
• Avoid contact of cleaning agents (like soap and alcohol)
with the filter because leakage may occur from the air
eliminating vent.
• Do not tape over filter as this could block the air vent and
impede the infusion.
• Do not immerse the pump in water. Take care to protect
the pump during any activities which could cause the
pump and filter to get wet, such as showering.
• Do not use a microwave, oven or water bath to warm the fluid.
• In the event of any leakage from the pump, or administration
set, close tubing clamp. Replace pump if necessary.
