Description
Tubing with a spike and roller clamp at the proximal end, a clamp and rotary luer lock at the distal end and a graduated burette and 2 flexible drip chambers in the centre.

Key areas where used
- All clinical areas but most commonly used for children in theatre
Method of use
The upper clamp is closed and the spike inserted into a blood container. The upper clamp is then opened (ensure the vent on the burette is open) and the burette filled to at least 30 ml. The upper clamp is closed following this. The drip chambers are primed according to the manufacturers instructions and then the burette filled to the desired level and attached to the patient's IV cannula. Fluid flow will stop when the burette is empty.
Please note : some Trusts have experience problems with these devices recently as the ball valves have not been functioning properly (ie. not floating upwards when lower chamber is squeezed).
