Zusammenfassung: | A drip chamber insert may include an elongate body portion comprising an upper surface, and a base portion positioned downstream of the elongate body portion for coupling to a drip chamber. The base portion may have an upper surface and a lower surface defining an outlet orifice of the drip chamber insert. The drip chamber insert may further include a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber may be disposed in the elongate body portion and fluidly coupled to the upper surface via an inlet orifice and to the outlet orifice via the base portion. An anti-run-dry membrane may be disposed on the upper surface of the elongate body portion extending over the inlet orifice. The second chamber may be disposed in the elongate body portion extending from the upper surface to the base portion. A low flowrate orifice may extend from a base of the second chamber into the base portion for fluidly coupling the second chamber with the outlet orifice. |
