Baxter's elastomeric infusion pumps are non-electronic, ambulatory, disposable devices that deliver continuous medication for periods of 30 minutes up to 7 days. They are designed for medication therapies requiring continuous infusion. The infusion pumps can be utilized for slow, continuous delivery through clinically acceptable routes of administration such as intravenous (IV), intra-arterial (IA), and subcutaneous or epidural infusion of medications directly into an intraoperative site or subcutaneously for post-operative pain management.
There are reported incidents of leakage on the INFUSOR and FOLFUSOR pumps at the connection of the blue winged cap and the distal male Luer. Investigation of these reports indicates the incidence of leakage has only occurred after pumps are filled, primed, re-capped (using the blue winged Luer cap) and stored for a period of time, typically overnight. In addition, the reported instances of leakage
