Why use FIVA™Flow when I can use an infusion pump?
FIVA™Flow is different than an infusion pump. It does not control flow, it only monitors it. It is often used in environments when infusion pumps cannot be used.
FIVA™Flow offers many benefits that fill gaps in infusion pump use: it is faster to set up, completely mobile, and can be used with any IV tubing set.

Do I still require an IV drip calculator?
No. FIVA™Flow displays the flow rate on the screen, which updates as each drop is detected. This reduces the time it takes to set up an infusion.
