About Your BodyGuard 323 Pump
You have been prescribed the BodyGuard 323 ambulatory infusion pump
as part of your treatment. “Infusion” means that the pump delivers
(or “infuses”) medication from a medication bag through a set of
tubing and your IV catheter into your bloodstream.
The healthcare provider can program the BodyGuard 323 pump to
operate in a variety of automatic modes to control how it infuses
medication. Once your pump is started, it may infuse medication
continuously or in a “stop and go” pattern, depending on the treatment
you require. Your healthcare provider will explain your treatment and what
to expect.
If your pump is programmed to infuse Patient Controlled Analgesia
(PCA), you may be permitted to give yourself additional bolus doses
of medication when needed for pain relief. Your healthcare provider will
explain how to do this.
