Infuvalve®

Back-check valve. To prevent back flow into infusion lines

Back-check Valve for Parallel Infusions
Back-check valve

Infuvalve® is a back-check valve which helps to prevent reflux of infusion solutions during parallel infusion. It is an effective technical precautionary to raise safety to complex infusion systems.

Infuvalve® is a normally closed valve, to be opened with low pressure. It prevents backflow of fluids and blood into IV infusion line and performs against over-and under-dosage as well as against bolus infusions.

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 product 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.

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
  • Not manufactured with DEHP, PVC, BPA or Latex/Natural rubber

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.
