Epidural Administration

WARNING
• Epidural administration of drugs other than those
indicated for epidural use could result in serious injury to
the patient.
• It is strongly recommended that the source container,
administration set, and Pump module used for epidural
drug delivery be clearly differentiated from those used
for other types of administration.
• It is strongly recommended that the syringe,
administration set, and Syringe module used for
epidural drug delivery be clearly differentiated from
those used for other types of administration.
• The Alaris System can be used for epidural
administration of anesthetic and analgesic drugs. This
application is only appropriate when using anesthetics and
analgesics labeled for continuous epidural administration
and catheters intended specifically for epidural use. Use
only an Alaris Pump module/GEMINI Infusion System
administration set or syringe set, without a '
injection port, for epidural infusions.
◦ Epidural administration of anesthetic drugs: Use
indwelling catheters specifically indicated for short-term
(96 hours or less) anesthetic epidural drug delivery.
◦ Epidural administration of analgesic drugs: Use
indwelling catheters specifically indicated for either short-
term or long-term analgesic epidural drug delivery.
