Easypump C-bloc RA WITH PCA DESCRIPTION
Easypump C-bloc RA with PCA incorporates a bolus device. The PCA delivers a
continuous infusion (basal) and allows fixed boluses to be delivered on demand by the
patient or health care provider.
NOTE: For models including Select-A-Flow, see important information in the Select-A-Flow
product insert for setting the basal flow rate.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not underfill the pump. Underfilling the pump may significantly increase the flow rate.
• Do not add unvented filter to end of set as this may impede or stop flow rate.
• Do not remove the red holding tab until the tubing is completely primed. Up to a 5 ml
bolus of air may be delivered if not primed correctly.
WARNING: Total Flow Rate refers to bolus + basal (see Table 2). To reduce potential
adverse effects:
1. Medication dosing should be based on the Total Flow Rate.
2. Red tab must be removed before use. If red tab is not removed before use or breaks
while removing, bolus button will not work and flow rate may increase significantly
above the Total Flow Rate.
3. If the bolus button does not pop back up within 30 minutes after delivering a bolus,
then close the clamp. The button may be stuck and flow rate may increase significantly
above the Total Flow Rate.
