How to Use an Elastomeric Easy Pump. Step by Step Instructions Plus FAQs.

Last week, I received my IV antibiotics to treat my respiratory infection. The antibiotic arrived in this plastic ball called an Elastomeric easy pump. I absolutely love this device. It is very simple to use and requires almost no set-up. Let me explain how to use the pump. #antibiotics #iv #godismystrength

Easypump is the best elastomeric pump of all.
A great product by B.Braun from Germany.
Thank you for this very good video.

You may want to use the saline flush at a slower rate. This precludes the possibility of infusion shock!

[@GodisMyStrength]

Thank you for sharing. At what rate would you suggest infusing the saline flush to prevent the possibility of infusion shock?

I had to stumble through using these a few months ago. Didn't know what I was doing at first but they are actually alot better than just using an IV pole and relying on gravity.

[@GodisMyStrength]

I am sorry you had a challenging experience when first using these. I, too, did not have instruction on how to use them. I went to TH-cam and searched. I did not find a good video which explained how to use. After figuring out how to use them, I decided I should make a video on how to use the device.
Yes, I agree. These are much better than using an IV pole.

​@@GodisMyStrengthI use an EZ Pump, question is: should there be a cut in the plastic "Ball"?

[@GodisMyStrength]

@@JadenYukifan28 Hello. The plastic ball has two layers. The exterior plastic, which surrounds the medicine ball, will have a cut or multiple cuts in the plastic. The interior medicine ball should be solid with no cuts in it. (If the interior ball has a cut in it, the medicine will be leaking out of the ball.)

[@JadenYukifan28]

​@@GodisMyStrengthHello, I use this after my first IV Infusion, with help from my father. I know you said that it has to be room temperature before being used, could it still be set up before use even if it was cold?

[@GodisMyStrength]

@@JadenYukifan28 Hello. You can setup it while it is still cold. However, please do not infuse the medicine until the medicine is room temperature.

Do you not have a separate fridge for TPN and antibiotics. Lovely instructional video

[@GodisMyStrength]

Thank you for your kind words. I do not have a separate fridge for TPN and antibiotics.

How to use if the normal saline is 500 ml with 5FU for 24 hrs?

[@GodisMyStrength]

That is a good question. Please ask your pharmacist
