- The device can be used for all patients for which infusion therapy is prescribed. Sangofix can be used for adults, paediatric and neonate patients

- The blood filter with 11 cm2 surface area helps to prevent particulate contamination by retaining particles >200 μm and consequently helps to avoid transfusion of blood clots and cellular debris resulting from storage

- Its fully transparent dome offers visibility for a constant visual monitoring of flow rate

- Its elastic pump chamber allows easy and quick set-up of fluid level
