Description
The Avanos PM045-A is an ON-Q Fixed Flow Pump Kit* that includes an ON-Q SILVERSOAKER Antimicrobial Catheter**. This elastomeric pain relief system is a high-volume configuration designed for significant surgical sites, providing continuous, non-narcotic pain management for several days post-operation.
The "PM" designation indicates its use in post-surgical pain management, and this specific kit is a single-site configuration (one catheter) with a high medication reservoir.
Technical Specifications
Fill Volume: 400 mL.
Flow Rate: 5 mL/hr (Fixed flow).
Catheter Type: SILVERSOAKER* Antimicrobial Catheter (Silver-coated).
Catheter Soaker Length: 2.5 inches (65 mm).
Catheter Total Length: 26.5 inches (67.3 cm).
Needle Size: 17G Split Introducer Needle.
Sterility: Sterile, Single-Use (Ethylene Oxide sterilization).
Kit Contents
The PM045-A is a comprehensive convenience kit containing:
(1) ON-Q* Elastomeric Continuous Infusion Pump (400 mL).
(1) SILVERSOAKER* Antimicrobial Catheter (2.5-inch soaker segment).
(1) 17G Split Introducer Needle.
(2) Syringes (for filling and priming the system).
(1) Carrying Case/Pouch (to facilitate patient mobility).
Dressings & Labels: Tegaderm®, Steri-Strip®, medication labels, and chart labels.
Key Features
High Reservoir Capacity: With a 400 mL fill volume and a 5 mL/hr flow rate, this system is designed to provide approximately 80 hours (3.3 days) of continuous pain relief.
Antimicrobial Protection: The silver coating on the SilverSoaker* catheter inhibits bacterial growth, which is a critical safety feature for catheters intended for multi-day indwelling use.
Uniform Infiltration: The "Soaker" technology uses a hollow-fiber design to ensure that the local anesthetic is distributed evenly across the entire 2.5-inch infusion segment, rather than just exiting through the tip.
Mechanical Infusion: The elastomeric pump uses a pressurized "balloon" to deliver medication at a fixed rate. It requires no batteries or electronic programming, making it highly reliable and patient-friendly for home use.
Primary Uses
This 400 mL / 5 mL/hr kit is typically selected for major surgical procedures where a single, relatively long incision requires high-volume local anesthetic infiltration:
Major Abdominal Surgeries: Such as colectomies or hysterectomies.
Orthopedic Procedures: Including total hip or knee replacements (when used for wound infiltration or a single-site nerve block).
Thoracic Surgeries: For continuous intercostal blocks or incision site pain management.
Plastic Surgery: Such as larger abdominoplasties.
