ABSTRACT:
An automatic flow regulator for use in a liquid management system is provided, as well as a method for its use. More particularly, a flow regulator and a method for its use are provided which can effectively regulate the flow of liquid in, e.g., an intravenous application. The flow regulator further provides de-bubbling features. For example, a deflector such as a dripdish and an air barrier are provided which serve to reduce the amount of bubbles in a liquid reservoir, greatly enhancing patient safety. The liquid may advantageously be an imaging liquid such as contrast.
