ABSTRACT:
A medical fluid flow rate controller and method for its use are disclosed. The controller is particularly suited for intravenous liquid administration and comprises three chambers in series between the intravenous liquid source and the patient. The first and second chambers are movable vertically with respect to each other and are gas phase pressure-equalized. Accordingly, the pressure differential available for flow from the first to the second chamber through the flow restrictor employed is known. Thus, the device may be precalibrated and marked with flow rates corresponding to different relative heights of the first chamber. Liquid entering the second chamber is pulled through a hydrophilic membrane into the third because the third operates at a lower pressure than the second. That configuration prevents the patient's movements from affecting the pre-set flow rate between the first and second chambers.
