Easypump II LT Disposable Infusion Pump 270ml 10ml per Hour
Couldn't load pickup availability
A single-use, elastomeric disposable infusion pump delivering 270 mL of infusate at a fixed rate of 10 mL/h over approximately 27 hours. Requires no electronic power source or programming — flow is driven by an elastomeric balloon reservoir and controlled by a fixed-rate flow restrictor. Indicated for continuous ambulatory IV antibiotic therapy (OPAT), chemotherapy, analgesics, and home parenteral nutrition where a portable, maintenance-free pump is required. CE marked and HSA-registered for use in Singapore.

Clinical Indications
- Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT) — beta-lactams (meropenem, ertapenem, ceftriaxone), vancomycin, teicoplanin
- Continuous ambulatory chemotherapy — 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) continuous infusion protocols (e.g. FOLFOX, CAPOX)
- Post-operative analgesia — continuous local anaesthetic infusion (ropivacaine, levobupivacaine) at surgical wound sites
- Palliative care — continuous subcutaneous infusion of morphine, midazolam, or antiemetics
- Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) — low-volume supplemental PN where programmable pump is unavailable
- Ambulatory patients requiring hands-free, wearable infusion without electronic pump management
Community Consensus: Clinical Q&A
Q: How accurate is the 10 mL/h flow rate in clinical practice?
The Easypump II LT achieves ±15% flow rate accuracy per ASTM F2131 at 37°C — equivalent to ±1.5 mL/h around the 10 mL/h nominal rate. Actual flow is influenced by temperature (increases with heat), viscosity of the infusate, back pressure from IV access site, and reservoir fill volume. For antibiotics where PK/PD targets depend on consistent drug exposure (e.g. time-above-MIC for beta-lactams), the elastomeric pump is clinically acceptable when programmed programmable pump alternatives are unavailable or impractical. Pharmacy should counsel patients on temperature effects — carrying the pump next to the body increases ambient temperature and can accelerate flow by up to 10%.
Q: What drugs are compatible with the Easypump II LT elastomeric reservoir?
The multi-layer DEHP-free elastomeric reservoir is compatible with most water-based IV medications including beta-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, 5-FU, local anaesthetics, and morphine sulfate. Incompatible agents include strong oxidising agents, highly lipophilic formulations (lipid emulsions), and drugs requiring light protection without opaque overwrap. Always consult the drug–device compatibility data from B Braun or the hospital pharmacy before filling with an unlisted agent. The 0.2 µm filter at the patient connector retains particulate matter but does not alter drug concentration.
Q: Can the Easypump II LT be used for subcutaneous infusion?
Yes. The Easypump II LT is used for continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSCI) in palliative care settings, typically via a 27G or 25G butterfly/subcutaneous cannula. Flow rate accuracy remains within specification for subcutaneous back pressure, which is lower than IV line resistance. Subcutaneous drug compatibility (particularly morphine, midazolam, haloperidol, and levomepromazine) should be confirmed with the palliative care pharmacy. The pump body is lightweight enough for belt or pocket carry during ambulatory CSCI.
Q: How should the used pump be disposed of in Singapore?
Used Easypump II LT pumps containing residual drug must be disposed of as clinical waste under the Singapore Environmental Protection and Management Act (EPM Act) regulations. The elastomeric reservoir, tubing, and any drug residue constitute pharmaceutical/clinical waste and must not be placed in general household or commercial waste streams. Hospitals and home care providers should follow their institutional clinical waste disposal contracts. The pump shell (DEHP-free, latex-free polymer) may be classified as sharps-free clinical waste depending on the drug used.
Q: Where can I purchase the Easypump II LT in Singapore?
The Easypump II LT is available through EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd), authorised B Braun distributor in Singapore. The pump is sold unfilled — filling is performed by licensed pharmacy under aseptic conditions with the prescribed drug admixture. Available for hospitals, oncology day treatment centres, OPAT programmes, and registered home care providers. Contact EMIS for B2B pricing, minimum order quantities, and clinical support documentation.
