CHANGING THE FLOW RATE DURING AN INFUSION
1. Insert the dial key into the dial of the Select-A-Flow* device.
2. Turn the dial key until the new flow rate is selected. Make sure the selected flow rate
setting is within the window and is aligned with the ml/hr
Select-A-Flow* device. (Figure 9, 10)
• The tactile feel will allow the user to ensure selected flow rate is set.
3. Remove the dial key from the dial and put in a safe place for later use.
BOLUS ACTIVATION
1. Press down on the PCA button until it locks into place (Figure 8E).
2. Bolus will be delivered and PCA device will begin to refill.
3. The orange indicator shows how much medication is in the bolus device (Figure 8D).
4. The next full bolus will be available when orange indicator is at the top level.
5. Pressing the bolus button prior to the end of the refill time will result in a partial bolus dose.
WARNING: If the bolus button will not latch, close the clamp. Continuous
medication delivery may be occurring. This delivery may be significantly greater
than the Total Flow Rate.
NOTE: It is normal that it will not latch within 30 minutes of pressing the bolus button.
WARNING: If the PCA button does not pop back up within 30 minutes, check
position of orange indicator.
1. If orange indicator is in the bottom position, close the clamp. Continuous medication
delivery may be occurring which can be significantly greater than the Total Flow Rate.
or
2. If orange indicator is in the top position, something may be impeding the flow. Check
for tubing kinks, closed clamp or patency of connected devices such as catheter or
unvented filter (verify patency) according to your standard protocol.
PCA DEVICE REFILL CHART
The PCA device is available in 30 or
60 minutes refill times as labeled on
the device. Refill time is approximately

DURING THE INFUSION
•
A change in appearance and size of pump may not be evident during the first
24 hours after start of infusion.
•
As medication is delivered, pump will gradually become smaller.
•
Make sure:
• Clamp is open.
• There are no kinks in the tubing.
• Filter vent is not taped or covered.
• Heat, ice or cold therapy is placed away from the flow controller.
END OF INFUSION
•
Infusion is complete when pump is no longer inflated.
•
Close clamp, disconnect and dispose of pump according to your institution's protocol.
NOTE: If pump does not perform as expected, do not discard. Contact your representative
for product return instructions.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
DELIVERY ACCURACY: When filled to the labeled volume, Select-A-Flow* device delivery
accuracy is ±20% while PCA bolus dose is +10/-20% of the labeled rates when infusion is
started 0-8 hours after fill and delivering normal saline as the diluent at 22°C/72°F.
TYPICAL FLOW CURVE
The flow rate may be higher or lower
at the beginning and end of the infusion
(Figure 14).
NOTES:
Latex is not in fluid pathway or in contact with human. Technical Bulletin available on request.
