Instructions For Use
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This insert is supplemental to the ON-Q* Pump
Instructions for Use (IFU), which contains additional
information on usage of the ON-Q* Pump, including
Indications/Contraindications as well as Cautions and
Warnings regarding patient/user's safety.
Please read the entire insert before operating the
ON-Q* Pump with ONDEMAND* device. Follow all
instructions carefully to ensure the safety of patient
and/or user.
WARNINGS
• Total Flow Rate refers to bolus + basal rate. To reduce potential
adverse effects, medication dosing should be based on the
Total Flow Rate.
• To prevent continuous over delivery of medication significantly
greater than the Total Flow Rate, close the clamp if any of the
following conditions occur:
• The red tab is not removed or breaks while removing.
• T he orange bolus refill indicator is not near the top at
all times except within 60 minutes of pressing the bolus
button.
• The bolus button will not latch except within 30 minutes of
pressing the bolus button.
• If the bolus button does not pop back up within 30 minutes of
pressing it, check position of orange indicator:
• I f orange indicator is in the bottom position, close the
clamp. Continuous medication delivery may be occurring
significantly greater than the Total Flow Rate.
• I f orange indicator is in the top 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. Underfilling the pump may significantly
increase the Total Flow Rate.
• Do not add an unvented filter to end of the administration set
as this may impede or stop flow rate.
• Do not remove the red tab until the tubing is completely
primed. Up to a 5 ml bolus of air may be delivered if not
primed correctly.
• The ONDEMAND* device should be worn outside clothing and
kept at room temperature.Temperature will affect solution
viscosity, resulting in faster or slower flow rate. ONDEMAND*
device has 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.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Refer to the ON-Q* Pump Instructions For Use for complete
information.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The ON-Q* Pump with ONDEMAND* device is not intended for use
with ON-Q* Soaker* or SilverSoaker* catheters because they could
