instructed in using and troubleshooting the pump. Instruction should emphasize
preventing intravenous (I.V.) related complications, including appropriate precautions to
prevent accidental infusion of air.
The pump is suitable for intravenous, arterial, subcutaneous, short-term epidural
infusion and parenteral administration of general I.V. fluids, medications, nutritional
fluids, and blood/blood products. The epidural route is recommended to provide
anesthesia or administer analgesia for periods up to 96 hours.

analgesic drugs approved for continuous epidural administration: e.g., Chloroprocaine
Hydrochloride USP, Lidocaine Hydrochloride USP, and Morphine Sulfate Injection USP
