DripAssist Description
The DripAssist is a monitor and alarm for gravity IV fluid
applications. The DripAssist is designed to be placed on the drip
chamber of a tubing set, and provide precision feedback on IV
drip rate.
When using the DripAssist, you still control the rate of flow using
the roller clamp on the tubing set. The DripAssist provides visual
feedback and displays values that accurately reflect the rate that
you set using the manual clamp.
The DripAssist does NOT control the rate of flow.
