Warning
• Due to risk of ischemic injury, vasoconstrictors
such as epinephrine are not recommended for
continuous infusions for the following routes of
administration: intraoperative site, perineural and
percutaneous (excluding epidural).
• Medications or fluids must be administered per
instructions provided by the drug manufacturer.
Physician is responsible for prescribing drug based
on each patient's clinical status (such as age, body
weight, disease state of patient, concomitant
medications, etc.).
• There is no alarm or alert when flow interruption
occurs, therefore life-supporting medications
whose usage may cause serious injury or death
due to stoppage or under-delivery are not
recommended for infusion with the ON-Q* device.
* Pump with Fixed Flow Rate
• There is no indicator of pump infusion status,
therefore use caution where over-delivery of
medications could result in serious injury or death.
• Epidural infusion of analgesics is limited to uses
of indwelling catheters specifically designed for
epidural delivery. To prevent infusion of drugs not
indicated for epidural use, do not use IV set with
additive ports. It is strongly recommended that
devices used for administration of medication via
epidural routes be clearly differentiated from all
other infusion devices.
• To avoid complications, use the lowest flow rate,
volume and drug concentration required to produce
the desired result. In particular:
• Avoid placing the catheter in the distal end of
extremities (such as fingers, toes, nose, ears,
penis, etc.) where fluid may build up as this may
lead to ischemic injury or necrosis.
• Avoid placing the catheter in joint spaces.
Although there is no definitive established
causal relationship, some literature has shown
a possible association between continuous
intra-articular infusions (particularly with
bupivacaine) and the subsequent development
of chondrolysis.
• Avoid tight wrappings which can limit blood
supply or fluid diffusion.
• 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.
