Intravenous pressure infusor, manual

Definition

A manually-operated device designed to increase the rate of an intravenous (IV) solution given to a patient by applying pressure directly to the infusion bag. There are two main designs: 1) a flexible bag made of textile or clear plastic with a pocket to hold the infusion bag and an inflatable pressure chamber or cuff that, when inflated, applies the desired pressure -- included is a squeeze bulb for the operator to create the pressure, a line clamp, and a pressure gauge; and 2) a design similar to the first, but where the pressure is created typically using a mechanical screw or spring mechanism. This is a reusable device.
