Pedia Drip Plus Measured Volume Set

Description

The Pedia Drip Plus Measured Volume Set is a specialized intravenous infusion device designed specifically for pediatric and neonatal patients requiring precise fluid and medication administration. Unlike standard IV sets, this device includes a calibrated volume chamber, allowing for accurate delivery of small, measured doses—critical for ensuring safety in infants and children who have lower fluid tolerance and heightened sensitivity to dosing variations.

This set generally comprises a 100 ml or 150 ml burette chamber, a micro-drip system with a drop factor of approximately 60 drops/ml, a fluid filter, an air vented spike, kink-resistant tubing, and a roller clamp for precise flow control. Many models include an automatic shut-off float valve, which halts the infusion once the set volume is delivered, preventing accidental over-infusion.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Measured Volume Chamber: Enables controlled dosing with visibility for healthcare professionals, ideal for pediatric precision.

• Micro-Drip Delivery (60 drops/ml): Facilitates slow, accurate infusion suitable for neonates and children.

• Air Vented Spike: Ensures smooth flow from rigid fluid containers and minimizes air embolism risk.

• Auto Shut-Off Float Valve: Automatically stops flow once the chamber is empty, enhancing safety.

• Flexible, Kink-Resistant Tubing: Maintains consistent flow without interruptions.

• Injection Port: Allows for easy addition of medications during infusion.

Common Use Cases:

• Fluid therapy for neonates and infants

• Intravenous medication administration in pediatric wards

• Controlled electrolyte or glucose delivery

• Emergency resuscitation with strict volume control

• Post-operative IV care for children

Industry Applications:

• Pediatric hospitals and ICUs

• Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs)

• Emergency pediatric response units

• Ambulatory pediatric care centers

Compared to regular adult IV infusion sets, the Pedia Drip Plus Measured Volume Set offers significantly enhanced safety features tailored to the needs of pediatric care. The ability to measure and limit volume before infusion is a vital safeguard in preventing fluid overload, a serious risk in younger patients.

These sets are often manufactured in accordance with ISO standards related to sterile medical devices and pediatric infusion equipment, ensuring safety, sterility, and consistency in healthcare environments.

The Pedia Drip Plus Measured Volume Set is not just a clinical tool—it’s a life-saving innovation that delivers precision where it matters most: in the care of the smallest and most vulnerable patients.
