APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING AIR BUBBLES

摘要

The present invention is directed to an apparatus (100) for removing gas bubbles from a gaseous liquid in an infusion assembly. The introduction of gas bubbles into the blood stream of a patient is very dangerous as the gas bubbles may lead to paralysis, coma or death in the severest cases. The removal of these bubbles is essential to ensure safe infusion for patients. The present invention comprises a chamber (120) for receiving a gaseous liquid and allows the gaseous liquid to separate into a gas-free liquid and a gas within the chamber (110) under gravity. A special orientation means (190) holds a gas-free liquid outlet at a correct location to ensure that only the gas-free liquid passes through the gas-free liquid outlet.
