Description
The Avanos C270020 is an ambulatory elastomeric infusion pump within the Homepump C-Series*. This model is designed for mid-to-long-term medication delivery, providing a balance of high reservoir capacity and a moderate flow rate for continuous outpatient therapy.
Key Features
Elastomeric Pressure System: Utilizes a pressurized internal balloon to deliver medication consistently without batteries, power cords, or gravity.
Fixed Flow Control: Employs a pre-set flow restrictor at the distal end of the tubing to ensure a steady rate, removing the risk of programming errors.
Discreet Portability: The small, lightweight design allows patients to wear the device in a carry pouch, facilitating total mobility and home-based care.
Silent and Non-Electronic: Operates completely silently with no mechanical alarms, improving patient comfort and sleep quality during multi-day infusions.
Integrated Safety Filter: Features a built-in 1.2-micron filter that automatically removes air and particulates from the medication stream.
Dosing Flexibility: Supports overfill and partial fill capacities, allowing clinicians to tailor the volume while maintaining consistent performance.

Primary Uses
Continuous Chemotherapy: Frequently used for oncology protocols (such as 5-Fluorouracil) that require a steady infusion over a 5-to-6-day cycle.
Long-Term Antibiotic Therapy: Ideal for delivering intravenous antibiotics that must maintain a specific therapeutic concentration in the blood over several days.
Chronic Pain Management: Facilitates the continuous delivery of analgesics where a 2 mL/hr rate is clinically indicated for home-based pain control.
Outpatient Treatment: Enables patients to transition from hospital to home care for complex IV treatments, reducing the need for extended inpatient stays.
