Description
The P400X8 is a high-volume, elastomeric (non-electronic) infusion pump designed for continuous local anesthetic delivery. The model number breakdown is key: the "400" refers to the 400 mL reservoir capacity, and the "X8" indicates a fixed flow rate of 8 mL per hour. This pump is commonly used for post-operative pain management following major abdominal, thoracic, or orthopedic surgeries.
Key Features
Elastomeric Technology: Uses a pressurized internal balloon (elastomeric reservoir) to deliver medication at a constant rate without the need for batteries, gravity, or complex programming.
Fixed Flow Rate: Pre-set at 8 mL/hr, providing a consistent "base" level of pain relief. This eliminates the risk of programming errors.
High Capacity (400 mL): The large reservoir allows for extended pain management (approximately 50 hours of continuous infusion at 8 mL/hr) before the pump needs to be refilled or replaced.
Compact and Portable: The pump is lightweight and typically worn in a carry pouch, allowing patients to remain mobile during recovery.
Latex-Free and DEHP-Free: Constructed from biocompatible materials to ensure patient safety and reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
