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

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.
