Executive Summary
Baxter Healthcare (UK) has introduced its home use Intermate XLV250 ambulatory infusion device for larger volumes, specifically designed for AIDS patients receiving Foscarnet infusion. The device features a latex-free Isoprene bladder (eliminating the risk of latex-related anaphylaxis), which is optically clearer, facilitating visibility of bladder content, Baxter says. Tubing is coiled around the top of the cap to prevent tangling. The Intermate XLV250 holds 500 ml, with an infusion rate of 250 ml per hour.
