LifeCare PCA Infusion System
Section 1 Descriptive Information The LifeCare PCATM Infusion System with Hospira MedNetTM Software allows clinicians to administer, or patients to selfadminister, analgesia safely and effectively within clinician programmed limits and/or hospital-defined medication limits. The LifeCare PCA Infusion System is used in a wide range of clinical settings that includes but is not limited to the following: MEDICAL
LABOR/DELIVERY/ POST PARTUM
BURN UNIT
SURGICAL
OPERATING ROOM
ONCOLOGY
CRITICAL CARE UNITS
POST ANESTHESIA CARE UNIT (PACU)
PEDIATRICS
Product Description The primary drug safety features of the LifeCare PCA Infuser device are the Hospira MedNet Software and the barcode reader that are designed to enhance patient safety and automate drug identification. Other enhancements include new programming features and the ability to read pharmacy-generated barcodes. The PCA Infusion System includes a microprocessor based infusion device with keypad controls, patient pendant, a barcoded drug vial, and a compatible administration set (See Administration Equipment on page 2-5 for a list of compatible sets). The infuser has an Ethernet port for computer or printer connections.
1-1
Descriptive Information The LifeCare PCA Infuser contains a Connectivity Engine module that provides wired Ethernet and wireless 802.11 a/b/g local area networking capabilities. This allows the Hospira MedNet networked application software to download drug libraries to the infuser and enable the auto-programming feature. The infuser is intended to operate on AC power, but an internal battery is provided to maintain operation for short periods of time when AC power is not available. The vials are single-use, barcoded, and prefilled with a prescription drug by Hospira, or the vials are sterile and empty to be custom-filled by the hospital pharmacy. The PCA infuser offers the following modes of delivery:
• PCA ONLY • CONTINUOUS ONLY • PCA + CONTINUOUS The PCA Infuser is able to store frequently used prescriptions called protocols. The protocols are available for Hospira prefilled vials and custom syringes. The protocols must be set up by a hospital-designated authority in the Biomed Mode or through Hospira MedNet Software (if enabled).
Indications for Use The LifeCare PCA Infusion System with Hospira MedNet Software is intended for accurate, volumetric infusion of analgesic drugs by continuous or patient demanded intravenous administration. It is intended for short-term continuous (less than 96 hours) epidural administration of analgesic drugs.
1-2
LifeCare PCA Infusion System
WARNING: For epidural use, administer only anesthetics/analgesics approved for epidural administration (as indicated or allowed by the drugs’ FDA approved labeling). Epidural administration of drugs other than those indicated for epidural use could result in serious injury to the patient.
PATIENT SELECTION Patients selected to use the PCA Infuser should be able to understand the relationship between pain and pushing the PCA Infuser patient pendant for pain relief. Patients selected for the use of the PCA Infuser should be able to physically selfadminister a PCA dose using the patient pendant. WARNING: Patient Pendant is only to be pressed by the patient.
USER QUALIFICATIONS All clinicians should be appropriately trained to program the PCA Infuser prior to use.The PCA Infuser is intended for use at the direction or under the supervision of licensed physicians or certified health care professionals. Clinicians must be trained in infuser use, administration of parenteral and epidural fluids and drugs, and the prevention of related IV complications and precautions to prevent accidental infusion of air. Training should emphasize the assessment and monitoring of patients receiving potent analgesic medications, and the appropriate treatment for possible adverse reactions.
Contraindications For Use The PCA Infuser should not be used for patient controlled analgesia by patients who do not have the cognitive ability to understand the use of self-administered pain medication,

Definitions (General and Clinical) Table 1-2: Definitions Term
Definition
Accuracy
The degree to which the instrument is capable of delivering the volume of analgesic drug that is displayed or targeted to be delivered. Accuracy shall be specified as the maximum allowable delivery error from a targeted or displayed value (See Section 9 Specifications on page 9-1).
Autoprogramming
Complete or partial program received from a bar code enabled Point-of-Care System requiring clinician confirmation prior to administration.
Battery Fault
A battery that will not accept a full charge.
Bolus
A fixed amount of drug delivered in a short amount of time. A PCA dose.
Button
A hard key on the front panel or on the patient pendant.
Clinical Care Area (CCA)
An area of the hospital that authorized hospital staff is permitted to use specific drugs. The clinician selects a CCA after turning on the infuser. The hospital may create from one to eighteen CCA’s.
Connectivity Engine (CE)
A component of the infuser that controls Ethernet and wireless communication between the network server and infuser.
Continuous
Infusion program characterized by a constant, fixed-rate dose.
Custom Syringe or Vial
A barcoded Hospira sterile empty vial that is custom-filled by a pharmacy.

Definition
Default Drug Library (DDL)
A pre-programmed drug library embedded in the infuser software. The infuser uses the DDL until a User-defined Drug Library is installed and supersedes the DDL.
Dose Limit
User-programmable parameter specifying the maximum amount of drug that can be administered via PCA dose and continuous delivery in a programmable rolling time period consisting of discrete accumulation periods of 6 minutes. NOTE: Dose Limit periods are specified as 1 and 4 hours on an infuser with the DDL; on infusers with a User-defined Drug Library, the dose limit periods can be defined as 1, 4, 6, or 12 hours.
Drug Library Download
The process of moving the User-defined Drug Library from the network server to the infuser.
