Infuvalve®
Accessory for infusion therapy to prevent back flow into infusion lines (2021.04.14)
An effective technical precaution to raise safety to complex infusion systems
- Normally closed valve, to be opened with low pressure
- Prevents backflow of fluid/blood into IV infusion line
- Performs against over-and under-dosage as well as against bolus infusions
- Maintains alarm function of pumps
Advantages
Luer-Slip and Luer-Lock compatible
Easy access for Luer-Slip and Luer-Lock connections.
Compatibility
Compatible with MRI, no metal parts.
Flexibility
Functioning in all positions.
Changing interval
Infuvalve can be replaced according to CDC or national guidelines or hospital protocol.
Pediatric use
The device can be used for all patients for which infusion therapy is prescribed. No gender or age related limitations. Infuvalve can be used for adults, pediatrics and neonates.
Prevents backflow and alarm function
Prevents retrograde flow into the gravity infusion so that it acts like a pressure alarm for the parallel infusion pump.
Over- and under-Dosage
It performs against over- and under-dosage as well as against bolus infusions.
DEHP Exposure
Not manufactured with BPA, DEHP or Latex / Natural rubber.
Technical data
- Minimum closing flow ≤ 0.1 ml/h
- Opening pressure ≤ 20 mbar
- Flow rate > 90 ml/minute G 40%
- Flow rate > 100 ml/minute with 0.9% NaCl
- Pressure resistance ≤ 2 bar
Contamination
Enables contamination-free handling ensured by double-sided protection caps.
Reliable tight seal
Forms a reliably tight seal in the event of the infusion stopping or a pressure build-up against the direction of flow.
