ABSTRACT:
A vented filter spigot for gravity feed intravenous liquid administration is provided having a filter spigot housing; a filter chamber in the housing; an inlet and an outlet in the housing, the housing being arranged to have the inlet oriented up and the outlet oriented down when installed for liquid feed from a liquid supply for intravenous administration; the inlet being shaped for attachment to a supply of liquid in a container for intravenous administration, and the outlet being shaped for attachment to an intravenous liquid administration apparatus; a liquid-permeable filter that is gas-impermeable when wet disposed in the filter chamber in a manner so as to extend generally vertically when the inlet is oriented up, and across the line of fluid flow through the chamber from the inlet to the outlet so that all through flow must pass through the filter; and dividing the chamber into two generally vertically-extending portions, one upstream and one downstream of the filter; a vent in an uppermost portion of the housing when the inlet is oriented up in flow communication with the upstream portion of the filter chamber; and a liquid-impermeable gas permeable filter disposed across the line of flow through the vent, so that all vent flow must pass through the filter, the filter restricting such flow to gas to which it is permeable; first and second passages in the housing putting the inlet into fluid flow communication with the filter chamber, the first passage opening into an upper part of the upstream portion of the filter chamber, and the second passage being longer than the first and opening into a lower part of the upstream portion of the filter chamber; whereby outflow of liquid via the filter chamber through the outlet aspirates air via the vent, liquid-impermeable gas-permeable filter and first passage into the container holding the supply of liquid, and makes it possible to maintain liquid flow from the container via the second passage to the outlet.
