Catheter Flow Rate Tester
Precision System for Testing Flow Rate of Intravascular Catheters and Infusion Sets
ToronMed-CFRT01 Catheter Flow Rate Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the water flow rate through intravascular and non-intravascular catheters, as well as infusion sets, under controlled hydrostatic pressure. This system simulates clinical fluid flow conditions, ensuring catheter and infusion device performance meets regulatory flow rate and temperature criteria.
This device is ideal for medical device manufacturers, QA labs, and compliance testing facilities working with vascular access devices and fluid delivery systems.
Applications
Test Item | Description |
---|---|
Intravascular Catheters | Flow rate under hydrostatic pressure |
Non-Intravascular Catheters | Flow rate and delivery validation |
Infusion Sets | Flow control and delivery rate assessment |

Standards Compliance
The ToronMed-CFRT01 supports testing in accordance with the following international standards:
- ISO 10555-1 – Intravascular catheters – General requirements
- ISO 8536-4 – Infusion equipment for medical use – Infusion sets
- EN 1618 – Catheters other than intravascular – Flow rate and performance requirements
These standards define requirements for fluid delivery rates, testing under gravity-fed hydrostatic pressure, and temperature-controlled environments — all critical to device safety and effectiveness.
