96- Hours Throughput
Speedflow® Baby filters do not show relevant loss in flow rate during 96-hour test
Sterilization Compatibility EtO or Gamma (max 25 kGy) Self-priming instructions
For fastest priming procedure, keep Speedflow® Baby in verti- cal position with the flow arrow pointed up, (i.e., invert to prime). The filter will eliminate air faster that way. After priming is com- pleted, Speedflow® Baby will eliminate air in any position.
Drug Compatibility
Speedflow® Baby is compatible with the following drugs: 5-Flourouracil
Amphotericin B Bupivacaine HCL Dobutamine HCL Dopamine HCL Insulin
Lidocaine HCL Nitroglycerin Paclitaxel Piperacillin Sodium Citrate
