Five catalogue numbers fall on two bottle volumes and four flow rates, and all of them are the continuous-flow type.

A single-use elastomeric infusion pump with a silicone balloon, delivering the drug continuously at a pre-set constant rate.

In which cases?

  • A chemotherapy infusion the patient goes home with.
  • Continuous analgesia in postoperative and cancer pain, through perineural, epidural and intraoperative-site routes.
  • Antibiotic therapy and hydration.
  • Treatments that move between the hospital, ambulatory care and home care.

What makes it different?

  • The rigid housing holds the inner elastomeric membrane against physical impact and is fully transparent, so the drug left in the pump is seen through it.
  • The air filter on the line clears the air left in the balloon and above the filter by itself; its pore is 5.0 micrometres.
  • The line carries a purge filter and a spin-lock connector as well as the air filter.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a bolus button?

Not on these items. The five catalogue numbers supplied are the continuous-flow type; the rate selector and the bolus button belong to other types of the family.

Which volumes and rates are supplied?

2 and 4 ml/h on the 100 ml body, 1.5, 2 and 5 ml/h on the 250 ml body. The models table gives the volume and the rate of every catalogue number.
