Introduction
The IVAC® PCAM® Syringe Pump (herein after referred to as "pump") system allows a patient to maintain a consistent level of pain relief by
providing self administration of a clinician-prescribed dose of analgesic as and when it is required.
When the hand set is operated and the demand is within the parameters set by the clinician, the pump will automatically administer a
precise bolus dose of analgesic.
For enhanced monitoring and management of post operative acute pain within the hospital, the pump provides convenient Patient
Controlled Analgesia (PCA) and detailed information at the bed-side about the patients use of PCA.
Central to an effective pain service, the pump promotes improved pain management, more effective use of nursing resources, provides
patient comfort and can contribute towards a quicker recovery.
Intended Use:
The pump is designed to meet the infusion requirements within the operating environment specified in this Directions For Use (DFU)
including general wards, critical and intensive care, neonatal, operating rooms and accident and emergency rooms.
This pump is suitable for use by appropriately trained clinicians or nurses. The pump is suitable to deliver fluids and medications via
intravenous, epidural and subcutaneous routes. Supporting fluid therapy, blood transfusions and parenteral feeding.
The pump is compatible with a wide range of standard, single-use, disposable Luer lock syringes. It accepts syringe sizes from 20 ml to
