A comparison of continuous flush devices.
Six different makes of continuous flush device were compared for reliability of flow rate and ease of use. All of the devices tested were considered suitable for flushing of vascular pressure monitoring catheters. However, flow rates were considered too variable for control of drug infusions or flushing of intracranial pressure monitoring systems.
