Description
The Avanos PSAF02 is a versatile model in the ON-Q Pain Relief System* that features the SELECT-A-FLOW* variable rate controller. This allows clinicians to adjust the medication flow rate manually, providing more flexibility than fixed-flow models like the PS6506.
Key Features
SELECT-A-FLOW Controller:* Equipped with a dial that allows the clinician to adjust the flow rate within a range of 1 to 7 mL per hour. This allows for "titrating" the dose based on the patient's specific pain level.
SOAKER Catheter Technology:* Includes a "soaker" catheter designed to distribute the local anesthetic evenly throughout the surgical site or along a nerve for uniform pain relief.
Non-Opioid Analgesia: Delivers local anesthetic directly to the source of pain, helping to significantly reduce the need for systemic narcotics and minimizing their side effects.
Elastomeric Pressure: Operates using a mechanical balloon-like reservoir; it requires no batteries, electricity, or electronic programming, making it completely silent and portable.
Locking Cover: The flow controller typically includes a removable key or locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to the flow rate by the patient.
Integrated Safety: Features a built-in filter to remove air and particulates from the medication stream before it reaches the patient.

Primary Uses
Customized Post-Surgical Recovery: Ideal for surgeries where pain intensity is expected to fluctuate, allowing healthcare providers to increase the dose during the first 24 hours and taper it down as recovery progresses.
Varying Anatomical Needs: The adjustable flow rate makes it a "one-size-fits-most" option for different patient weights and sensitivities.
Enhanced Recovery (ERAS): A critical tool for protocols that require precise control over non-narcotic pain management to get patients moving sooner.
Ambulatory Transition: Its portable design allows patients to be discharged with a system that can be adjusted by home-health nurses or during follow-up visits.
