Abstract

A mixing chamber for use in an intravenous administration set wherein plural medical liquids are delivered to a patient comprising a pair of opposed, parallely extending front and rear walls which are closely spaced to each other relative to their transverse dimension, a top wall extending between and interconnecting the top peripheral edges of the front and rear walls and a side wall extending between and interconnecting the side peripheral edges of the front and rear walls, the front, rear, top and side walls defining a relatively shallow interior chamber. A plurality of entrance ports are formed in the top wall and an exit port is formed in the side wall. A transparent, magnifying window is provided in the front wall to provide a magnified view of the interior of the chamber. Inwardly extending shoulders are formed on the side walls to promote mixing of the plurality of medical liquids being administered to the patient. By virtue of the liquids being mixed and the improved visual access to the interior of the chamber, any precipitation resulting from mixing incompatible medical liquids is easily observed so that corrective measures may be taken.
