Designed for use in gravity ow situations which require the safety of a constant IV ow rate.

 

IV uids should be administered as precisely and safely as other medical treatments. Accurate infusion rates ensure patient safety and optimum drug efficacy. Gravity-activated infusion of highly active drugs and nutrient solutions, e.g. with higher osmolarity  like NuTRIflex ex® running 24 h, requires careful supervision. The drop rate with conventional, tubing dependent roller clamps can change significantly within a short period of time. For sophisticated gravity infusions Exadrop®, the tubing independent precision flow rate regulator, enables constant drop rates and thus accu rate doses, to be delivered over prolonged periods of time. So it provides a high degree of safety.

 

Exadrop® – flow control independent of tubing

The flow rate is controlled by adjusting the size of a rigid capillary groove in the flow control device. Once the initial drop rate is set, tubing related fluctuations cannot occur thus preventing the solu tion from rushing through.

No self-acting alteration possible.
Provides constant flow rates. No risk of over-infusion.
Eliminates influences of tubing properties.

 

Constant drop rates

Unlike a roller clamp t he drop rate, once set, remains constant for hours without resetting necessity.

 

Attain an infusion target volume with greater reliability

Exadrop® offers  much more convenience and safety for the infusion routine compared to a roller clamp.

It reduces the typical risks of gravity infusion, such as under- or overdosages and free ow.

 

Flow Control Markings on the scale make it easy to set the desired drop rate. Dial markings are APPROXIMATE.

 

The broad range of settings enables accurate flow control over the full range from 3 - 270 ml/h. In addition, a slide clamp can be used to temporarily interrupt the infusion without resetting the drop rate when restarting the infusion.

 

 

 Quick, easy and accurate adjustment of constant drip rates. Easily set with one hand.

 

Gravity infusion administration sometimes requires an extra measure of safety and precision related to traditional roller clamps. Exadrop® provides a greater degree of consistency of flow rate. As it performs independently from the tubing cha- racteristics it offers a significant protection against accidential. free flow caused by cold creep of the tubing etc.

 

 

User benefits

Consistent and reproductive in flow rates

Rapidly and convenient to select and adjust a preselected rate of deliver

 No frequent re-adjustments required  to maintain a constant flow rate

Time gain

Compact and simple to use

Using one hand:

Exadrop® is designed for a secure grip, allowing easy and accurate adjustment with a simple turn of the dial.

 

Accuracy of IV Administration: Exadrop® vs. roller clamp In a head-to-head comparison, Exadrop® delivers significantly more constant infusion rates: With the roller clamp, the elastic infusion tubing moves out from under the clamping pressure applied by the roller wheel within just a short time; this causes the lumen and flow rate to vary continuously. With Exadrop®this is excluded designwise.
