LifeCare PCA Infusion
Chapter 1 Introduction Indications for Use The LifeCare PCATM infuser is intended for intravenous or epidural administration of analgesic medications that are delivered by a continuous rate of infusion and/or with patient demand doses. WARNING FOR EPIDURAL USE, ADMINISTER ONLY ANESTHETICS/ ANALGESICS APPROVED FOR EPIDURAL ADMINISTRATION (AS INDICATED OR ALLOWED BY THE MEDICATIONS’ FDA APPROVED LABELING OR HEALTH CANADA APPROVED LABELING). EPIDURAL ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE INDICATED FOR EPIDURAL USE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PATIENT.
The LifeCare PCA infuser allows patients to self-administer analgesics with defined parameters using a push-button pendant attached to the device. The LifeCare PCA is intended for the hospital environment and not for home use. A primary feature of the LifeCare PCA infuser is the bar code reader, which is designed to automate medication and concentration identification. The bar code reader identifies all Hospira-approved prefilled medication vials. The Hospira MedNetTM Software allows the LifeCare PCA infuser to read pharmacy-generated bar codes on custom-filled vials. The vials are single-use and barcoded, and are either prefilled with a medication by Hospira, or are sterile empty vials which can be custom-filled by the hospital pharmacy (see Appendix A Generating Bar Code Labels (Hospira MedNet Software Enabled)). All LifeCare PCA vials must have a bar code label that is read by the LifeCare PCA infuser. There is no ability to bypass the bar

Introduction code reader and manually enter the medication into the LifeCare PCA infuser (see Appendix A Generating Bar Code Labels (Hospira MedNet Software Enabled)). CAUTION: FEDERAL LAW RESTRICTS THIS DEVICE TO SALE BY OR ON THE ORDER OF A PHYSICIAN OR OTHER PRACTITIONER LICENSED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE IN WHICH HE/SHE PRACTICES TO USE OR ORDER THE USE OF THE DEVICE.
LifeCare PCA Infusion System without Hospira MedNet Software As a standalone infuser, the LifeCare PCA infuser uses the Default Drug Library (DDL) to program therapies. The default drug library uses a single set of predefined rules for all medication settings (see Appendix D Default Drug Library and Prescription Delivery Limits).
LifeCare PCA Infusion System with Hospira MedNet Software The LifeCare PCA infusion system is used in conjunction with the server-based Hospira MedNet safety software. Hospira MedNet Software facilitates networked communication between the server and Hospira Mednet-compatible infusers. The Hospira MedNet software enables facilities to define a drug library based on hospital best practices. A default drug library is active until a new drug library is downloaded to the infuser with Hospira MedNet Software. The customized drug library is downloaded into the infuser by authorized hospital personnel. Hospital personnel determine and select medications, concentrations, units of measure, lock-out intervals, dose, dose limits, and rule sets (upper and lower delivery parameters) available within a selected Clinical Care Area (CCA). A hospital-defined drug library can define up to a maximum of 18 CCAs which can include up to 25 medication entries per CCA. The infuser requires a CCA to be selected prior to programming a dose. When the CCA is selected, the medication rule sets are configured for that CCA.

System Operating Manual
LifeCare PCA Infusion Note: 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.
• Ethernet port for computer or printer connections • Nurse call interface See Appendix B Administration Sets and Accessories for a list of compatible LifeCare PCA administration sets. The LifeCare PCA infuser is intended to operate on AC power, and an internal battery is provided to maintain operation for short periods of time when AC power is not available. The LifeCare PCA infuser is able to store frequently used prescriptions called protocols (see Chapter 10 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).
Patient Selection Patients selected to use the LifeCare PCA infuser should be able to understand the relationship between pain and pushing the LifeCare PCA infuser patient pendant button for pain relief. Patients selected for the use of the LifeCare PCA infuser should be able to physically self-administer a PCA dose using the patient pendant. WARNING THE PATIENT PENDANT BUTTON IS TO BE PRESSED ONLY BY THE INTENDED PATIENT.

Introduction
Pharmacy-Filled (Custom) Vials For standalone infusers without Hospira MedNet Software Custom vials are sterile empty 30 mL vials which are filled by the hospital pharmacy. A pharmacy-filled (custom) vial offers your facility the flexibility to infuse medications per your facility’s practice. The LifeCare PCA infuser reads the bar code on the custom-filled vial, displays the medication name as OTHER DRUG, and prompts the clinician to enter the concentration. For infusers using Hospira MedNet Software Custom vials are sterile empty 30 mL vials which are filled by the hospital pharmacy and labeled with a unique bar code. A pharmacy-filled (custom) vial offers your facility the flexibility to infuse medications per your facility’s practice. Hospira MedNet Software allows the LifeCare PCA infuser to read the pharmacy-generated bar code on the custom-filled vial. The bar codes are linked to the rule sets within the Hospira MedNet Software. This ensures that when the custom-filled vial is inserted into the infuser, the displayed medication and concentration are linked to the corresponding rule set.
