HydroBalance by Pronk Technologies

At our recent MD Expo in Seattle, Pronk Technologies sales reps, Paul Wessler and Keith Ebert, shared information about the Hydrobalance. Hydrobalance offers a breakthrough in IV Pump Testing by maintaining a constant head height for the IV Bag Fluid

HydroBalance* represents a fundamental breakthrough in IV Pump testing. HydroBalance maintains constant head height for the IV bag fluid, even as the bag empties during testing. The patent-pending design pivots as the IV bag begins to drain (see product images). Fluid height is maintained at a level within ± 1 inch (2.54cm) from the starting head height. HydroBalance improves both accuracy and efficiency, making it the new essential tool in IV pump testing!

bagChallengeIV pump manufacturers’ requirements for fluid height in IV pump testing can be very strict — because the most common IV pumps have a 1% loss of flow rate for every 10-inch loss in fluid-height. Refilling the IV bag or readjusting the IV pole may compensate somewhat, yet these methods are time-consuming and difficult to employ in a consistent manner.

Solution: Hydrobalance helps Biomeds face this considerable challenge by keeping fluid height constant within ±1 inch (2.54cm) from the starting head height. With losses in fluid height kept to a minimum, HydroBalance keeps associated losses in flow rate to a minimum, resulting in more accurate IV Pump Analysis results (see graph below). Gain precision and simplify IV pump testing procedure simultaneously with HydroBalance.
