- The device can be used for all patients for which infusion therapy is prescribed. Sangofix can be used for adults, paediatric and neonate patients
- The blood filter with 11 cm2 surface area helps to prevent particulate contamination by retaining particles >200 ? and consequently helps to avoid transfusion of blood clots and cellular debris resulting from storage
