• Levelert II Fluid Level Sensor from Smith & Nephew
A simple solution to a chronic problem, this device warns the OR staff
when irrigation fluid bag levels are getting low. "It's one of those
things," says Mr. DeConciliis. "Inevitably, the water runs out during sur-
gery at the most inopportune times. The surgeon gets upset and it dis-
rupts the flow of the procedure."
The answer: Hang the sensor on your IV pole and the fluid bag on
the sensor. When the level diminishes to a pre-determined level, the
device sounds a warning and bags can be swiftly switched out. OSM
