MedFuser® PCA
Portable Elastomeric Infusion Pump with Patient Control Analgesia module
MedFuser® PCA Portable Elastomeric Pump is a single-use, fixed-rate, Patient Control Analgesia (PCA) only infusion ambulatory pump with a Luer connector and a PCA control module, designed to deliver fluid medication safely, accurately and silently without any external sources of power.
MedFuser® PCA pump allows the patient to receive an on-demand dose of pain medication by pressing the button on the PCA control module provided with the pump.
When selecting the specific MedFuser® PCA pump model from our MedFuser® portfolio, clinicians choose the device with a demand bolus volume and maximum bolus frequency (lock-out time), ensuring safe and controlled patient use.

Flexibility of patient care delivered by MedFuser® PCA pumps
Supporting many pain management procedures, clinical scenarios and patient populations.
Compatible with all key routes of fluid administration for Pain Management
Including: Intravenous, Subcutaneous, Epidural and Wound Infusion.
Advancing patient safety
MedFuser® PCA pumps combine a number of elements together to provide safe and effective infusions: Robust, UV light-shielded outer housing, accurate fluid level indicator, two integrated particle and air-eliminating filters, kink-resistant tubing, advanced flow control and safe, ergonomic PCA control module. All of our pumps are clearly identified to ensure that the right device is used for the right therapy and right patient.
Available with NRFit® connectors
to enhance patient safety by reducing the risk of “wrong route” medication errors in administering regional anaesthesia.
Compatible with WoundSoak® CWI
wound catheters to optimise post-operative pain management. WoundSoak® catheters for postoperative continuous infusion fit perfectly onto our MedFuser® PCA portable elastomeric pump. Using the continuous wound infusion technique, anaesthetics and analgesics are infused through a multi-hole catheter directly into the surgical site for optimised postoperative pain relief.
Promotes patient recovery and improves quality of life
by increasing patient mobility whilst removing the inconveniences of electronic pumps.

MedFuser® helps reduce hospital length of stay
It has been demonstrated that patients who received their post-operative pain management treatments via elastomeric pump were able to be discharged earlier, saving time in clinical care, improving patient recovery and quality of life, while providing healthcare cost savings.
High reliability
Achieved through high-quality design and manufacturing.
Optimal accuracy and precision
Delivered by a unique, innovative and advanced flow control capillary.
Proven drug compatibility
Silicone is well established and tested to support drug stability for a wide range of medication fluids.
Peace of mind and confidence
Our specially designed guided balloon, featuring an accurate fluid level indicator, provides clinicians and patients with clarity and reassurance about the progress of the infusion and the remaining amount of drug to be administered.
Ease of filling
Our one-way valve and balloon design make it easy to fill the MedFuser® PCA pumps.
Ensuring safe and controlled patient use
by selecting the specific MedFuser® PCA pump model from our MedFuser® portfolio, clinicians choose the device with a demand bolus volume and maximum bolus frequency (lock-out time).
Ergonomically designed PCA module
to comfortably fit in the hand and allow convenient, secure and confident operation. Additionally, each module is equipped with an integrated clip for convenient attachment to a pocket or sleeve.
Advancing patient safety through high performance and evolved features:
- Robust, UV light-shielded outer housing to protect infusate
- Accurate fluid level indicator providing precise indication of medication to be infused
- Kink-resistant tubing to help protect against the risk of interruption of flow
- Non-DEHP and latex-free
- Advanced flow control
- Ergonomic and safe PCA control module
- All of our pumps are clearly identified to ensure that the right device is used for the right therapy and right patient.
Two integrated air-eliminating and particle filters
Every MedFuser® PCA infusion pump is equipped with two integrated air-eliminating and particle filters (one above the PCA module and another below the PCA module). Each of these filters features the 1.2 μm hydrophilic and 0.2 μm hydrophobic membranes in a single housing to automatically stop particles and expel air from the infusion line. Filter construction materials contain no natural rubber, latex or latex derivatives, PVC, hydroxyvinyl chloride, DEHP, BPA or TSE/BSE.
Filling port with a pressure-activated valve
Convenient and safe filling port with an integrated one-way valve, ensuring a secure filling process. Composed of a sonically welded, DEHP-free thermoplastic body and a latex-free silicone diaphragm. Fully compliant with standard ISO 80369-7 and made from materials approved to USP Class IV standards.
Distal cap with a hydrophobic valve provided with all MedFuser® PCA pumps
Enables safe and confident priming of the patient line without the risk of fluid spills or medication exposure. The 0.2 μm hydrophobic membrane automatically stops fluid once the patient line is fully primed.
Integrated hanger and clip
Enables quick and secure mounting and positioning of MedFuser® PCA pumps.
