Introduction & Start Up

Introduction

The IVAC® PCAM® Syringe Pump is designed to provide a small, self-administered dose of analgesic, as and when the patient demands it by activating a hand operated button. The clinician can select limits for various parameters, including the size of each individual dose, the minimum time between doses and the number of doses allowed during a period. In parallel to the patient controlled operation the pump allows the clinician to set an automatic loading dose which will be delivered at the onset of treatment. Similarly a continuous background infusion which is delivered irrespective of the patients demands for analgesia, can also be selected.

In addition, the pump will automatically record valuable information about each patients treatment and their individual demands for analgesia. This allows further analysis of the frequency with which analgesia is being requested, the total dose delivered etc.

Product Familiarity

Prior to operation of the pump and prior to attempting any repairs or servicing, carefully read the Directions for Use (DFU)

As part of continuous improvement, product enhancements and changes are introduced from time to time.

Purpose of this Manual
