Intended Use

The LifeCare PCA™ infusion system is intended for intravenous or epidural administration of analgesic medications that are delivered by a continuous rate of infusion and/or with patient-controlled demand doses.

Device Story

Microprocessor-controlled, pole-mounted, electromechanical infusion pump; delivers analgesic medications intravenously or epidurally. Inputs: physician-programmed parameters; patient-controlled demand doses via pendant. Operation: stepper motor exerts pressure on drug vial (pre-filled or pharmacy-filled) to control infusion rate. Used in clinical settings; operated by healthcare professionals. Features wireless (802.11 a/b/g) and wired interfaces for bi-directional communication with Hospira MedNet™ software for drug library and auto-program transfers; can function standalone. Output: controlled analgesic delivery; visual/audible alarms; diagnostic data. Benefits: precise medication delivery; reduced medication errors via drug libraries; patient-controlled pain management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including system verification and validation, human factors evaluations, biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1, and electrical/electromagnetic compatibility testing per ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 and IEC standards.

Technological Characteristics

Pole-mounted electromechanical infusion pump; stepper motor actuation. Materials: modified half nut/lead screw. Connectivity: wired/wireless (802.11 a/b/g) to Hospira MedNet™ server. Standards: ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012, IEC 60601-1-2:2007, IEC 60601-1-8:2012, IEC 60601-2-24:2012. Software: microprocessor-controlled with drug library and auto-programming capabilities. Sterilization: administration sets provided sterile (fluid path).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring intravenous or epidural administration of analgesic medications via continuous infusion or patient-controlled demand doses.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.
