Description
he Avanos C100020-10 is a Homepump C-Series Elastomeric Infusion Pump*. This is a portable, single-use device designed to deliver medication at a constant, pre-set flow rate. It operates without the need for batteries or electricity, utilizing the internal pressure of an elastomeric "balloon" to drive the infusion.
The "-10" suffix indicates that this part number is for a box of 10 units.
Technical Specifications
Fill Volume: 100 mL.
Flow Rate: 2 mL/hr (Fixed).
Infusion Duration: Approximately 50 hours (roughly 2 days) when filled to its nominal capacity.
Mechanism: Elastomeric membrane technology; a calibrated flow restrictor in the tubing ensures a steady delivery of medication.
Type: Ambulatory/Disposable.
Key Features
Patient Mobility: Because the pump is lightweight and requires no IV pole or power source, patients can receive continuous treatment while remaining mobile, often in a home care setting.
Pre-Set Safety: The flow rate is fixed by a capillary restrictor, which eliminates the risk of pump programming errors and the need for complex alarms.
Silent Operation: Unlike electronic pumps, the Homepump is completely silent, making it less intrusive for patients during sleep or daily activities.
Ease of Use: There are no batteries to change or electronics to maintain. Once the pump is filled and connected by a healthcare professional, the infusion begins automatically.
High Compatibility: The pump is designed for compatibility with a wide range of medications, particularly those used in oncology and pain management.
Primary Uses
The 2 mL/hr flow rate is most commonly used for:
Continuous Chemotherapy: Specifically for 48-hour infusion protocols (such as certain 5-FU regimens).
Regional Anesthesia: Continuous delivery of local anesthetics through a nerve block catheter for post-operative pain relief.
Antibiotic Therapy: For medications that are most effective when maintained at a consistent level in the blood over a multi-day period.
