Evaluation of the Biomed Spring-Actuated Infusion Pressor and the Migada Emergency and Military Infusion System

Abstract

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) developed an infusion administration system consisting of a foldable spring-actuated infusion bag pressor and an administration set with a non orientated air-trap drip chamber. This system enables medical personnel to perform intravenous (I.V.) infusion even when limited space restricts the use of gravitational force, amd/or when fast administration of fluid is indicated. In both cases, continuous monitoring of flow is possible, while the risk of air emboli is avoided. The system includes the Biomed Spring-Actuated Infusion Pressor, and the Emergency and Military Infusion System (EMIS). The S.A. Pressor and the EMIS were found acceptable for use on board aeromedical evacuation aircraft. This technical paper presents the results of the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine/Chemical Defense Branch, Aeromedical Research Function evaluation of the S.A. Pressor and the EMIS. Keywords: Test and evaluation; Intravenous (I.V.) bag pressor; Biomed and administration set; Migada; Aeromedical evacuation. (KT)
