What is the ON-Q*Pump?
The ON-Q* Pump is a balloon type pump lled with a medicine to treat your pain. It blocks the
pain in the area of your procedure, giving you better pain relief than taking only a narcotic type
medicine.With ON-Q* Pump, you may need to take less pain medicine.
How does the ON-Q*Pump work?
The pump is attached to a catheter or catheters (small tube near your procedure site).
The pump automatically delivers the medicine at a very slow ow rate. Do not squeeze the
pump.The pump has the force needed to deliver your medicine.The pump is completely
portable. It may be clipped to your clothing or dressing or placed in a small carrying case.
HOW DO I KNOWTHE PUMP ISWORKING?
•The pump gives your medicine very slowly. It may take longer
than 24 hours after your procedure to notice a change in the
size and look of the pump. Your pump may look similar to this
picture after 24 hours.
• Do not expect to see a change in the pump every hour.
•You will not see a uid line or air space in the pump ball.The pump
tubing will look clear and you will not see the medicine moving
through the tubing.
• In time, the outside bag on the pump will begin to get looser and
wrinkles will begin to form in the bag.
• As the medicine is delivered, the pump ball will gradually become
smaller.
•You should also take your pain medicine as instructed by your doctor.
• Check the following:
✓Make sure the white clamp on the tubing is open (moves freely on
the tubing).
✓Make sure there are no kinks in the pump tubing.
✓Do not tape or cover up the lter.

✓If you are using ice or cold therapy, place it away from the lower part
of the pump tubing with the ow controller.
HOW LONG WILL MY ONQ* PUMP LAST?
Depending on the size of your pump, it may take 2-5 days to give all the
medicine. All your medicine has been delivered when the ON-Q* pump is
no longer full.The outside bag will be at and a hard tube can be felt in
the middle of the pump.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY ONQ* PUMP WHEN SLEEPING?
✓Make sure the pump is placed on a bedside table, or on top of the
bed covers.
✓Do not place the pump underneath the bed covers where the pump
may become too warm.
✓Do not place the pump on the oor or hang the pump on a bed post.
CAN I TAKE A SHOWER WITHTHE ONQ*PUMP?
✓Your doctor will tell you when it’s ok for you to take a shower.
✓Follow your doctor’s instructions for showering.Take care to protect
the catheter site, pump and lter from water. Do not submerge the
pump in water.

clothing and kept at room temperature.
ON-Q*Fixed Flow Rate

flow controller is next to your skin. This will allow the pump
to give medicine in the right amount of time.
