Select-A-Flow
DESCRIPTION
Easypump with Select-A-Flow incorporates a controller that allows the user to adjust the infusion
rate by turning the rate-changing key on the device. The flow rate is within a predetermined range
and is designated on each device.
NOTE: For models including PCA delivery, see important information in the PCA product insert for
PCA delivery.
TO DISCOURAGE TAMPERING: (Figure 2 on Page 4):
➊ To discourage tampering, remove the rate-changing key from the dial by pulling the key straight
out. Put the key in a safe place for later use, e.g., attached to a key ring.
➋ Close the cover over the Select-A-Flow Variable Rate Controller.
➌ For increased tamper resistance, the cover may be locked to the Select-A-Flow Variable Rate
Controller using the tie wrap.
NOTE: If desired, the cover may also be removed from the Select-A-Flow by fully opening the
cover and then pulling straight up on the plastic feet at the bottom of the cover.
CAUTIONS
The amount of medication over the therapeutic period and delivery time can vary by as much as
20% due to the flow rate variation. Please take this variance into consideration when determining
medication delivery to reduce potential adverse effects.
1. Do not underfill. Underfilling the pump may significantly increase the flow rate.
2. Do not exceed maximum fill volume of the pump (see Table 1).
3. The Select-A-Flow should be worn outside clothing and kept at room temperature.
WARNING
Flow rate is adjustable. To reduce potential adverse effects, medication dosing should be based
on this maximum flow rate. Flow rate may vary +/- 20%.
PRIMING THE Select-A-Flow ADMINISTRATION SET
Use Aseptic Technique
NOTE: For models including PCA delivery, follow the priming instructions in the PCA product insert
instead of this section.
1. Verify clamp is closed.
2. Open plastic cover. Ensure dial on face of device is at highest flow rate setting to minimize priming
time. Make sure you feel or hear the dial "click" into place and selected flow rate is aligned below
the ml/hr mark on the Select-A-Flow.
3. Open clamp and remove the tubing cap.
4. When air has been removed from the tubing and fluid is observed at the end of the luer lock, turn
