Print Page2. USING THE DROPER FIELD 1000
The Droper Field is a medical device designed to pressurise flexible infusion bags containing all
solutions suitable for intravenous infusion for the administration, in a non-intrusive manner by
infusion, of the contained solutions to patients requiring the latter. The device is dimensioned in such
a way as to be able to receive most infusion bags up to 1,000 ml commercially available at the time of
its introduction, in order to produce a bag pressure of about 100 mbar, equivalent to an approximate
height of 1 metre between the patient and the infusion bag for administration by gravity.
The safety instructions regarding the use of such bags must be known prior to use.
Its transparent cover enables the user to see the nature of the substance
administered. Principally intended for use in emergency situations or
catastrophes where stress levels are high, the device must be used by
trained, qualified staff.
The Droper Field device is not sensitive to environmental conditions. It has
been designed using materials capable of operating at both negative and
positive temperatures.
The infusion flow rate is entirely dependent on the viscosity of the infusion
solution. In cases not using a drip chamber (see below), different types of
flow regulators are commercially available for different viscosities and for
pressures equivalent to that generated by the Droper Field 1000. The
operator must therefore take this into account when choosing the flow
regulator to be used in these cases.
Under no circumstances may rigid or semi-rigid bottles be inserted into
the device.
The device's method of operation is described hereinbelow in the form of
several pictograms, which can be found underneath the device and shown
opposite:
2.1
Opening the cover
The mobile plate located underneath the transparent cover has certain elastic properties when
pressure is exerted in a downwards direction. To open the Droper Field 1000, the device is placed on
a flat, stable surface directly beneath the operator. The operator grasps the Droper Field 1000 by
placing the cushion of his/her thumbs on the non-slip areas provided for this purpose on either side of
the cover.
