Intended Use

The Fluid Level Monitor is a passive sensing device that alarms when the infusion fluid level is low. The device provides both visual and audible alarms when preset condition is met. The Fluid Level Monitor is intended for low-fluid-level alarm use in any healthcare setting where gravity flow infusion is utilized. The use of the device improves efficiency within a busy medical setting by providing healthcare personnel of timely notification of the low-fluid-level status. The available models are: LM771: 1-channel, DC battery power LM781 1-channel, DC plug-in power LM785 - 5-channel, DC plug-in power

Device Story

Passive sensing device; monitors infusion fluid levels in gravity flow systems. External sensor clips onto tubing; connects to main control unit via shielded cable. Control unit processes sensor input; triggers visual (LEDs) and audible (buzzer) alarms when fluid reaches preset low level. Operates on DC power (battery or plug-in). Used in clinical settings by healthcare personnel to improve monitoring efficiency. Provides timely notification of low-fluid status; assists in clinical decision-making regarding infusion management; benefits patient by preventing infusion interruption.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing confirmed compliance with design specifications and verified that all functions operate as designed. Testing demonstrated consistent power consumption across battery/plug-in power and 1-channel/5-channel configurations.

Technological Characteristics

Passive electronic monitor for gravity flow infusion. Components: main control unit, external sensor, shielded signal cable. Power: DC battery or DC plug-in. Monitoring capacity: 1-channel (LM771, LM781) or 5-channel (LM785). Output: Visual (LED) and audible (buzzer) alarms. Processor-based measurement.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in any healthcare setting utilizing gravity flow infusion systems to provide low-fluid-level notification to healthcare personnel.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An electronic monitor for gravity flow infusion systems is a device used to monitor the amount of fluid being infused into a patient. The device consists of an electronic transducer and equipment for signal amplification, conditioning, and display.
