Baxa Microfuse Dual Rate Infuser

Baxa Microfuse Dual Rate Infuser

The Baxa Microfuse Dual Rate Infuser is engineered for small-volume infusion (SVI) of intravenous fluids. It’s designed to handle fluids diluted in volumes from 1 to 100 mL and to administer them intermittently over periods ranging from 1 to 120 minutes. By using syringe infusion as an alternative to gravity or minibag IV systems, this infuser delivers a fixed, reliable rate while using cost-effective materials that help reduce waste and simplify both setup and administration labor.

Key features include:

• Durable Construction: Built with a solid, injection-molded plastic housing and a secure motor attachment, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding clinical environments.
• User-Friendly Controls: Features simple push-button controls that are easy to learn and use, helping to streamline infusion tasks.
• Portable and Lightweight: With a slender profile, the Microfuse is easy to transport between patient care areas.
• Built-in Safety: Designed to be low maintenance with integrated safety features that enhance reliability during use.
• Battery Operated: Runs on 2 standard alkaline C-cell batteries, providing an average operating life of up to 400 hours, ensuring continuous performance when needed.
