Indications For Use - B.Braun Easypump C-bloc RA Manual Del Usario

• In the event of any leakage from pump or administration set, close tubing clamp.
Replace pump if necessary.
• Do not discard pump and contact your representative for product return instructions.
• Do not add unvented filter to end of the administration set as this may impede or stop
the flow rate.
• PCA device: do not remove the red tab until the tubing is completely primed. Up to 5 ml
bolus of air may be delivered if not primed correctly.
• Select-A-Flow* device: flow rate is unpredictable if it is dialed between rate settings.
• Flow rates may vary due to:
Fill volume
• Filling pump less than the labeled volume results in faster flow rate.
• Filling pump greater than the labeled results in slower flow rate.
Viscosity and/or drug concentration
Pump position - position pump at approximately the same level as the catheter site:
• Positioning pump above this level increases flow rate.
• Positioning pump below this level decreases flow rate.
Temperature
• Select-A-Flow* and PCA devices should be worn outside clothing and kept at room
temperature.
• To ensure flow rate accuracy, do not place heat or cold therapy in close proximity to
the flow controller.
• Temperature will affect solution viscosity, resulting in faster or slower flow rate.
• Select-A-Flow* and PCA devices have been calibrated using Normal Saline (NS) as
the diluent and room temperature (22°C, 72°F) as the operating environment. Flow
rate will increase approximately 1.4% per 1°F/0.6°C increase in temperature and will
decrease approximately 1.4% per 1°F/0.6°C decrease in temperature.
• If refrigerated, allow pump to reach room temperature before using.
• It may take approximately 15 hours for a pump to reach room temperature.
Storage
• Storage of a filled Easypump C-bloc* RA
®
starting infusion may result in a slower flow rate.
External pressure
• External pressure such as squeezing or laying on pump increases flow rate.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

• The Easypump C-bloc* RA Pump is intended to provide continuous delivery of
® ™
medication (such as local anesthetics) to or around surgical wound sites and/or
close proximity to nerves for preoperative, perioperative and postoperative regional
anesthesia and/or pain management. Routes of administration include: intraoperative
site, perineural, percutaneous and epidural.
• Easypump C-bloc* RA Pump is indicated to significantly decrease pain and narcotic
® ™
use when used to deliver local anesthetics to or around surgical wound sites, or close
proximity to nerves, when compared to narcotic only pain management.
Pump for more than 8 hours prior to

CONTRAINDICATIONS
• Easypump C-bloc* RA Pump is not
® ™
intended for blood, blood products, lipids,
fat emulsions, or Total Parenteral Nutrition
(TPN).
• Easypump C-bloc* RA Pump is not
® ™
intended for intravascular delivery.
• Easypump C-bloc* RA Pump with Select-A-
® ™
Flow* and PCA devices are not intended for
use with ON-Q* Soaker* and SilverSoaker*
catheters because they could prevent the
proper functioning of the PCA device.
DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE (FIGURE 1)
The Easypump ® C-bloc* RA ™ Pump with Select-
A-Flow* and PCA devices allows user to set the
desired flow rate and to activate a bolus dose on
demand.
