Introduction
Rigel Multi-Flo Design Philosophy
The Rigel Multi-Flo Infusion Device Analyser provides accurate and fast analysis of the
performance of all common infusion devices. The Multi-Flo’s instant flow measurement
allows for high resolution flow and pressure analyses and provides a highly accurate
calibration method for proving the correct function of all infusion devices.
Infusion devices can be tested under positive and negative pressure settings whilst
bolus and PCA tests are conducted with the highest possible resolution.
Measuring flow rates, volume and pressure, the Multi-Flo is available in 1, 2 and 4
channel configuration which can be upgraded in the future to include additional channels
up to a maximum of 4 channels. The Multi-Flo will ensure it meets your current and
future requirements.
