INFUSION APPARATUS

摘要

An infusion apparatus comprising a tube leading from an outlet end of a drip chamber (11), with the tube being closeable by a tube clamp (14), a lancing part (15) mounted at the inlet end of the drip chamber (11) and having a lance (12) encompassing a liquid passage (16) and also an air passage (18) alongside the liquid passage (16) and preferably provided with an air filter (17), so that air can flow from the outside into the infusion bottle when liquid flows into the drip chamber (11), wherein a fine pored liquid filter (19) is inserted into the path of the infusion solution from the lance (12) to the tube (13), wherein means are provided for the at least partial venting and filling of the drip chamber (11) with the infusion solution prior to the start of an infusion and wherein the entry of air into the tube is prevented after an infusion bottle has run empty and on exchange of the latter for a full one, whereby the liquid filter (19) is arranged above the base (20) of the drip chamber (11) at a space from the latter.
