Description
The Avanos P270X2 is a mid-sized, fixed-flow elastomeric infusion pump within the ON-Q Pain Relief System*. It is designed for patients who require a steady, continuous dose of local anesthetic over an extended period, offering a balance between a compact size and a long infusion duration.
Key Features
Extended Therapy Duration: With a 270 mL reservoir and a low flow rate, this pump is designed to provide continuous pain relief for several days, bridging the critical early recovery gap.
Fixed Flow Rate: Pre-set to deliver a consistent 2.0 mL per hour, ensuring a regulated administration of medication without the need for manual adjustments or complex programming.
Non-Opioid Pain Management: Delivers local anesthetic directly to the surgical site or near peripheral nerves, helping to reduce the systemic use of narcotics and their associated side effects like nausea and sedation.
Maintenance-Free & Silent: Operates purely on mechanical elastomeric pressure (the "balloon" force). It requires no batteries or electricity, making it completely silent and highly reliable.
Safety Filtering: Features an integrated in-line filter to ensure the medication stream is free of air and particulate matter before it reaches the patient.
Radiopaque Compatibility: While the pump itself is not radiopaque, it is designed to be paired with radiopaque catheters to allow for easy placement verification under X-ray.

Ambulatory Transition: Its portable design allows patients to be discharged from the hospital while still receiving professional-grade pain therapy at home.
Enhanced Recovery (ERAS): Supports protocols that prioritize non-narcotic pain control to help patients mobilize and recover faster.
