How ambIT Works

The ambIT® pump is a small, lightweight electronic infusion pump that uses a rotary peristaltic mechanism to deliver medication to the spine through a percutaneous intraspinal catheter. The size and weight of the pump allows patients the freedom to perform everyday activities without being tied to an awkward, bulky pump.

The ambIT ambulatory infusion pump is intended for the ambulatory infusion of fluids and medications. The pump has simple controls that are easily operated by both caregivers and patients.

The clinician may select different delivery profiles, which include basal rate only, basal rate with patient controlled analgesia (PCA) bolus, or PCA bolus only.
