Description
The Avanos C100005-10 (often referenced as C100005) is a Homepump C-Series Elastomeric Infusion Pump*. These pumps are non-electronic, disposable devices designed to deliver medication (typically chemotherapy or antibiotics) at a constant, pre-set flow rate.
The "-10" at the end of the part number usually refers to the packaging quantity (e.g., a box of 10 units), while the base part number defines the pump's volume and flow rate specifications.
Technical Specifications
Fill Volume: 100 mL.
Flow Rate: 0.5 mL/hr (Fixed).
Infusion Duration: This specific flow rate is designed for long-term delivery, providing medication over approximately 200 hours (roughly 8 days).
Type: Elastomeric "Balloon" Pump (utilizes the energy of the inflated balloon to push medication through the tubing).
Tubing: Includes an integrated administration set with a fixed flow restrictor.
Key Features
Non-Electronic Design: Since the pump is powered by the elastomeric membrane, it requires no batteries, power cords, or IV poles. This allows the patient to remain fully mobile during their treatment.
Pre-Set Flow Rate: The flow rate is determined by a calibrated glass capillary (the flow restrictor) within the tubing. This eliminates the risk of programming errors.
Discreet and Lightweight: The small size of the 100 mL pump makes it easy for patients to carry in a small pouch or pocket, facilitating "home-based" therapy.
Drug Stability: The Homepump is designed with high-quality materials compatible with a wide range of medications, particularly those used in oncology and long-term hydration or pain management.
Primary Uses
Because of its very slow flow rate (0.5 mL/hr), the C100005 is most commonly used for:
Continuous Chemotherapy Protocols: Specifically drugs like 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) that require a slow, steady infusion over several days.
Post-Operative Pain Management: When used to deliver local anesthetic to a nerve block catheter.
Long-Term Antibiotic Therapy: For specific medications that are most effective when maintained at a steady concentration in the bloodstream.
Comparison: C-Series vs. Eclipse
Homepump C-Series (This model): Designed for slow flow rates and long durations (days).
Homepump Eclipse:* Designed for fast flow rates (e.g., 50 mL/hr to 250 mL/hr) and short durations (minutes to an hour), typically for intermittent antibiotics.
