Pedia Drip Measured Volume Set

Description

Pedia Drip Measured Volume Set is a specialized intravenous infusion device designed to deliver precise volumes of fluids and medications to pediatric and neonatal patients. This device is crucial in medical environments where small, controlled quantities of intravenous fluids are required. Unlike standard infusion sets, the Pedia Drip set includes a calibrated burette chamber that allows caregivers to pre-measure and monitor exact fluid volumes, minimizing the risk of over-infusion and ensuring safe, accurate treatment.

The set typically consists of a 100 ml or 150 ml graduated burette chamber, a micro-drip system (commonly 60 drops/ml), a floating shut-off valve, a precision roller clamp, and a high-quality Luer lock connector. The inclusion of an air vent and bacterial filter ensures sterility and safety during use.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Measured-volume burette (100–150 ml): Allows accurate dosing, especially for children and infants.

• Micro-drip chamber (60 drops/ml): Provides fine control of infusion rate.

• Floating shut-off valve: Automatically halts fluid flow once pre-set volume is delivered, preventing over-infusion.

• Air vent with bacterial filter: Ensures sterile and safe infusion by preventing air and contaminants from entering the bloodstream.

• Kink-resistant, DEHP-free tubing: Maintains consistent flow and reduces patient exposure to harmful plasticizers.

• Roller clamp and injection port: Offers precise flow control and easy medication addition without disconnection.

Common Use Cases:

• Neonatal and pediatric units for safe delivery of IV fluids, electrolytes, and medications.

• Critical care environments where exact fluid regulation is essential.

• Post-operative pediatric care for hydration and gradual medication administration.

• Field and emergency care settings where infusion must be carefully monitored in small patients.

Industry Applications:

• Children’s hospitals

• Pediatric and neonatal ICUs

• Outpatient pediatric infusion centers

• Ambulatory pediatric care and home IV setups

Comparison to Similar Products:

Compared to standard IV infusion sets, the Pedia Drip Measured Volume Set offers significantly greater dosing accuracy. Its built-in burette allows for careful volume control—something not achievable with traditional micro or macro drip sets. It is particularly useful for avoiding medication errors in young or vulnerable patients.

Certifications and Compliance:

These devices are typically manufactured under GMP-certified facilities and conform to ISO 8536-9 standards for infusion devices with measured volume chambers. Materials used are generally latex-free, DEHP-free, and meet CE marking or equivalent safety and quality regulations, depending on the region.

With its thoughtful design and safety-driven features, the Pedia Drip Measured Volume Set is indispensable in pediatric IV therapy. It supports accurate dosing, enhances patient safety, and empowers medical professionals to deliver critical care with confidence and precision.
