Description
The Avanos P400X4 is a high-capacity, fixed-flow elastomeric infusion pump within the ON-Q Pain Relief System*. It is designed for major surgical procedures where a large volume of local anesthetic is needed over several days to provide effective, non-narcotic pain management.
Key Features
High-Capacity Reservoir: Features a 400 mL fill volume, one of the largest available in the ON-Q* line, allowing for extended delivery of medication.
Fixed Flow Rate: Pre-set to deliver a steady 4.0 mL per hour, providing a robust and consistent dose of local anesthetic to the surgical site or near peripheral nerves.
Extended Pain Relief: Designed to provide targeted analgesia for a duration of 3 to 5 days, covering the most critical window of post-operative recovery.
Non-Opioid Analgesia: Helps significantly reduce the patient’s reliance on systemic narcotics, which can lower the risk of side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and respiratory depression.
Maintenance-Free & Silent: Operates purely on mechanical elastomeric pressure (the tension of the internal balloon). It requires no batteries, electricity, or electronic programming.
Integrated Safety Filter: Includes a built-in, in-line filter to protect the patient from air or particulate matter in the medication stream.

Primary Uses
Major Orthopedic & General Surgeries: Ideal for procedures with large incisions or significant tissue trauma where a 2.0 mL/hr rate is insufficient.
Long-Term Recovery: Best suited for surgeries where pain management is expected to be necessary for at least 4 days post-operatively.
Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks (CPNB): Often used for blocks where a steady 4.0 mL/hr basal rate is required to maintain a localized "numb" field effectively.
Enhanced Recovery (ERAS): Supports protocols focused on getting patients home sooner by providing professional-grade pain therapy in a portable, ambulatory format.
