This crossover study evaluates patient experiences and preferences between mechanical and electrical infusion pumps for subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) therapy. The Freedom Integrated Infusion System (FREEDOM60 and FreedomEdge) are mechanical, portable pumps that require no batteries or electricity and use Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ to control infusion speed. These devices are approved for use in the EU (CE650520). Approximately 78 adult patients with primary or secondary immunodeficiency will participate. Participants will complete questionnaires assessing ease of training, ease of use, infusion comfort, and overall satisfaction. Patients experienced with electronic pumps will complete two questionnaires: one reflecting their current pump experience and one after trying the mechanical pump. The primary goal is to determine whether mechanical pumps provide greater patient satisfaction than electrical pumps. Results will inform patient and healthcare professional decision-making regarding pump selection.
