Halyard ON-Q Instrucciones De Uso página 6

• It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to
ensure patient is educated on the proper use of the
system.
• It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to
modify Patient Guidelines provided with the pump
as appropriate for your patients' clinical status and
medication prescribed.
Caution
• Do not use if package is open, damaged or a
protector cap is missing.
• Single use only. Do not resterilize, refill or reuse.
Reuse of the device could result in the following risks:
• Improper functioning of the device (i.e., inaccurate flow rate)
• Increased risk of infection
• Occlusion of the device (i.e., impedes or stops infusion)
• The pump is sterile and non-pyrogenic.
• Product uses Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
plasticized PVC:
• DEHP is a commonly used plasticizer in medical
devices. There is no conclusive scientific evidence
to date that exposure to DEHP has a harmful effect
on humans. However, the risk and benefit of using
medical devices with DEHP for pregnant women,
breastfeeding mothers, infants and children should be
evaluated prior to use.
• Certain solutions may be incompatible with the PVC
material used in the administration set. Consult
drug package insert and other available sources of
information for a more thorough understanding of
possible incompatibility problems.
• Do not underfill pump. Underfilling the pump may
significantly increase the flow rate.
• Do not exceed maximum fill volume. (Table 1)
• The fill volume and infusion rate are labeled on the fill port.
• Flow rate is unpredictable if it is dialed between rate
settings.
• Clamp is provided to stop the infusion. Do not remove or
break clamp. Do not use clamp as an intermittent
delivery device.
• Roll tubing between fingers to promote flow if clamped
for extended time.
• Avoid contact of cleansing agents (like soap and alcohol)
with the filter because leakage may occur from the air
eliminating vent.
• Do not tape over filter(s) as this could block the air vent
and impede the infusion.
4
• Do not immerse the pump in water. Take care to protect
the pump during any activities, which could cause the
pump and filter to get wet, such as showering.
• In the event of any leakage from the pump or
administration set, close tubing clamp. Replace pump
if necessary.
• Do not discard the pump and contact Halyard Health for
product return instructions.
• Do not add unvented filter to end of the administration
set as this may impede or stop the flow rate.
• Flow rates may vary due to:
Fill volume
• Filling the pump less than the labeled volume results in
faster flow rate.
• Filling the pump greater than the labeled results in
slower flow rate.
• Viscosity and/or drug concentration.
• 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
• The SELECT-A-FLOW* device should be worn outside
clothing and kept at room temperature.
• To ensure flow rate accuracy, do not place heat or cold
therapy in close proximity to the flow controller.
• Temperature will affect solution viscosity, resulting in
faster or slower flow rate.
• SELECT-A-FLOW* device have 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.
• If refrigerated, allow pump to reach room temperature
before using.
• It may take approximately 8–18 hours for a pump to
reach room temperature. (See table below)

Storage
• Storage of a filled ON-Q* Pump for more than 8 hours
prior to starting infusion may result in a slower
flow rate.
