Easypump
with Select-A-Flow* Variable Rate Controller
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please read the entire document before operating the Easypump
device. Follow all instructions carefully to ensure the safety of patient and/or user.
WARNING
•
Flow rate is adjustable. Medication dosage should be based on maximum flow rate. To
reduce potential adverse events:
•
Medication dosing should be based on the maximum flow rate (7 or 14 ml/hr).
•
The amount of medication over the therapeutic period and delivery time can vary
by as much as 20%. Take this variance into consideration when determining
medication delivery.
•
Regardless of the prescribed flow rate, only fill the pump with medication dosage
that is appropriate to administer at the maximum flow rate.
•
Due to risk of ischemic injury, vasoconstrictors such as epinephrine are not
recommended for continuous infusions for the following routes of administration:
intraoperative site, perineural and percutaneous (excluding epidural).
•
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
medications, 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 Easypump
•
There is no indicator of pump infusion status, therefore, use caution where over-
delivery of medications could result in serious injury or death.
•
Epidural infusion of analgesics is limited to uses of indwelling catheters specifically
designed for epidural delivery. To prevent infusion of drugs not indicated for epidural
use, do not use IV set with additive ports. It is strongly recommended that devices used
for administration of medication via epidural routes be clearly differentiated from all
other infusion devices.
•
To avoid complications, use the lowest flow rate, volume and drug concentration
required to produce the desired result. In particular:
•
Avoid placing the catheter in the distal end of extremities (such as fingers, toes,
nose, ears, penis, etc.) where fluid may build up as this may lead to ischemic injury
or necrosis.
•
Avoid placing the catheter in joint spaces. Although there is no definitive
established causal relationship, some literature has shown a possible association
between continuous intra-articular infusions (particularly with bupivacaine) and the
subsequent development of chondrolysis.
•
Avoid tight wrappings which can limit blood supply or fluid diffusion.
