When infusing fluid at high rates, it is important to have a mechanism that reduces the risk of delivering air to the patient. Air embolisms have been included on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' list of "never events"– conditions which are deemed reasonably preventable through proper care.
By using the natural buoyancy of air in liquids, the Ranger high flow set's auto-venting bubble trap can automatically vent up to 3,000 mL of air per minute with no clinician involvement required.
