HydroBalance™ Setup and Use
Description: HydroBalance ensures the IV source bag used for testing infusion pumps will be maintained at a
constant head height even as that source bag begins to drain during use. It utilizes a patent pending swivel arm
design that automatically adjusts the height of the IV source bag.
Setup:
NOTE: (2ea.) Kendall™ (Covidian™) 1000ml Gravity Feeding Bag,
Kendall Part # 702505 is required. Remove fluid tubing right at the top of
drip chamber. Utilize roller clamp to seal both bags. One bag will be used as
ballast, the other as the primary IV bag.
a)
Attach the HydroBalance (HB-1) center loop to the IV pole.
b)
Attach Primary IV bag to one arm of HB-1. Attach the “ballast” bag to the
opposite arm.
c)
Ensure roller clamp on ballast bag is completely closed around end of tube
to avoid leaks. Fill the ballast bag with 1200ml of distilled water.
d)
Remove roller clamp from end of primary IV bag. Spike IV set into the
tubing at the end of the bag. Ensure there is a tight seal. Clamp off IV set
to avoid leaks.
e)
Fill the primary IV bag to the same level as ballast bag.
f)
Ensure the IV set is not interfering with the balance of the two bags.
Adjust the water level in the ballast bag as needed so that both HB-1 arms
are level. Start Testing.

DataSnap Electronic Data Transfer and Control
Description: DataSnap provides real time results capture from FlowTrax
®
to any file, form or record open on your
PC. DataSnap also provides for control of your FlowTrax from your PC, including clearing prior test results for
subsequent testing and “Flushing” FlowTrax for priming. Using your keyboard function keys, users can transfer
FlowTrax test results or request FlowTrax send real time data for rate and volume every 10 seconds for graphing
Infusion pump performance over extended periods of time. In either case, the data will go directly into a file, form or
record you have open on your pc where you have selected a cell or box that results are normally typed into (including
notes fields in forms).
