Pump position - Position the pump at approximately the
same level as the catheter site.
• Positioning the pump above this level increases
flow rate
• Positioning the pump below this level decreases
flow rate.
Temperature
• Temperature will affect solution viscosity, resulting in
shorter or longer delivery time.
• The HOMEPUMP ECLIPSE* Pump is designed to be used
at room temperature (20°C/68°F).
• 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.
• Pump and tubing should be worn outside the clothing.
• If stored in the refrigerator or freezer, allow pump to
reach room temperature before using. It may take
several hours for a pump to reach room temperature,
depending on fill volume. (Table 1)
• To ensure flow rate accuracy, do not place heat or cold
therapy in close proximity to the flow controller tubing.
Storage
• Delivery time can increase significantly as a result of
extended storage time.
External pressure
• External pressure such as squeezing, laying on the
pump increases flow rate.
Catheter/Access Device
• When administering through a central or peripheral
catheter, follow instructions provided by the catheter
manufacturer. Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)
lines smaller than 20 GA x 56 cm (or other restrictive devices)
will decrease flow rate.
Indications
HOMEPUMP ECLIPSE* Pump is indicated for continuous
delivery of medications through intravenous routes.
Contraindications
The HOMEPUMP ECLIPSE* Pump is not intended for blood,
blood products, lipids, fat emulsions, or Total Parenteral
Nutrition (TPN).

Instructions for Use
Use Aseptic Technique
Filling The HOMEPUMP ECLIPSE* Pump: (Figure 2)
Note: Follow standard protocols and applicable regulations for
filling pump.
1. Close the clamp.
2. Remove the cap from the fill port and retain for later use.
3. The HOMEPUMP ECLIPSE* Pump can be filled with a
syringe or similar device. Remove all air from the filling
device and attach filled syringe to fill port. (Figure 2)
4. Invert pump as shown. Firmly grasp the syringe with both
hands and push down on the plunger continuously until
the volume is dispensed. Do not handle the pump while
filling, as the syringe tip may break. Repeat as necessary.
Figure 2
Caution: Do not fill less than minimum or exceed
maximum fill volume (See Table 1 for model specific
information on fill volumes).
5. Remove filling device from the fill port.
6. Securely replace fill port cap. Ensure that the distal end cap
on the tubing is snug.
7. Label with appropriate pharmaceutical and patient
information.
Warning:
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%.
