Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How ambIT* works
How is the ambIT* pump used in pain management?
The ambIT* preset and PCA pumps infuse numbing medication through a catheter (small tube) into the surgical area or near a nerve to block the pain signals from being transferred to the brain. This is set up during surgery, so when patients wake up their pain is already being controlled.
How is the ambIT* pump used on patients?
An ambIT* pump is attached to a patient by a small tube that is placed under the skin through which medicine can be delivered. The doctor programs the pump to deliver the proper amount of medication at the appropriate time, so the patient doesn’t have to worry about keeping track of dosing amounts and times. The ambIT* pump provides worry-free pain relief, so patients can focus on healing.
What type of infusion therapies can ambIT* pumps perform?
The ambIT* family of pumps can be used for a variety of infusion therapies, including the PCA, PreSet, Continuous and military PCA pumps.
What is the “ambIT* Family of Pumps”?
ambIT* has developed several pump models to fit various infusion therapy needs, including the PCA, PreSet, Continuous and Military PCA pumps.
What makes the ambIT* Pump superior to other pain control pumps?
With its easy programmable features and its outstanding accuracy, the ambIT* Electronic Pain Control System presents healthcare providers and their patients with the ability to accommodate their infusion therapy to any level of postoperative pain.
Using the ambIT* Pump
Can I move while I have the infusion pump?
One of the benefits of having a small pump such as ambIT* is that patients can still move instead of being confined to a bed. However, your care provider may give you some guidelines for activities to avoid.
Can I shower while I have the infusion pump?
Please do not shower with your pump. While it will repel water, it is not intended to be fully submerged, and its life span will diminish if not treated properly.
Where should I place the pump when I go to bed?
You can place your pump under your pillow.
