STARTING INFUSION
1. Connect tubing to patient's catheter. Make sure connection is secure and clamp is open.
NOTE: For models including Select-A-Flow, see Select-A-Flow Product Insert for
starting infusion and changing the flow rate.
2. The patient or clinician should give a bolus as soon as possible after the infusion has
started to ensure the bolus device is working properly. The bolus button should pop up
within a few minutes and the orange indicator should be at the bottom level.
BOLUS ACTIVATION
1. Press down on button until it locks into place (Figure A).
2. Bolus will be delivered and PCA will begin to refill.
3. The orange indicator shows how much medication is in the bolus device (Figure E).
4. The next full bolus will be available when orange indicator is at the top level.
5. Pressing the bolus button prior to the end of the refill time will result in a partial bolus dose.
WARNING: If the button does not pop back up within 30 minutes, check position of
orange refill indicator:
1. If indicator is in the lowermost position, close clamp. If button pops back up within 10
minutes, open clamp and continue with infusion. If button remains stuck, it may result in a
significant increase in flow rate to patient. Keep clamp closed. Pump should be replaced if
appropriate.
or
2. If indicator remains in the uppermost position, something may be impeding the
flow. Check for tubing kinks, closed clamp or patency of connected devices such as
catheter or unvented filter (verify patency) according to your standard protocol.
CAUTIONS:
Do not underfill pump. Underfilling the pump may significantly increase flow rate.
• Filling the pump less than nominal results in faster flow rate.
• Filling the pump greater than nominal results in slower flow rate.
• Temperature will affect solution viscosity, resulting in faster or slower flow rate.
PCA has been calibrated using Normal Saline (NS) as the diluent
and room temperature (22° C, 72° F) as the operating environment. The PCA
should be worn outside clothing and kept at room temperature.
