Every Minute Matters.
When patients are in shock, every minute to restored perfusion matters. Delays in fluid and blood delivery can mean the difference between recovery and death.
Deliver 500mL of fluid or a unit of blood in less than 2 minutes with LifeFlow. It’s faster, simpler, and more reliable than traditional methods.
Flow Rates
LifeFlow flow rates are average rates for clinicians in a simulated clinical environment. All other flow rates are based on internal benchtop testing.
IV infusion pump data is based on maximum set point of 999 ml/hr.
Pressure bag was inflated to 300mmHg at the start and reinflated once more to 300mmHg halfway through a 500mL bag. Pressure was not held continuously at this rate.
All tests used Vata Simulated Blood.
Not All “Rapid” Infusion is Actually Rapid
The most dangerous assumption in emergency resuscitation is the one you’ve been making about your own tools. The equipment you’re reaching for may not move fluid as fast as you think.
The Tools at Your Bedside May Not Be Fast Enough
When a patient is actively bleeding, crashing from septic shock, or in decompensated pediatric shock, every minute of delay is a minute closer to irreversible organ injury.
Not every tool is built for the bedside emergency.
- IV pumps cap at 999 mL/hr — not designed for emergent resuscitation
- Pressure bags lose pressure as they empty, underperform through small-gauge catheters, demand continuous manual attention, and pose a risk of air embolism
- Mechanical rapid infusers are powerful — but only if they’re already at the bedside, primed, and staff is trained on them
The real question: Which tool restores perfusion fastest, through the access you actually have, in the room where the emergency is happening?
“Fast” means nothing if your equipment isn’t where you are, ready when you need it.
- Faster setup. Pre-packaged, maintenance-free, handheld — ready anywhere in the field or bedside in the hospital.
- Faster infusion. Up to 4× faster than a pressure bag through standard peripheral IV access.
- Faster transition. LifeFlow is already working while your powered rapid infuser is being set up.
- Faster everywhere. From the field to the ED to the OR, one device delivers rapid perfusion capability across your entire care continuum.
Clinicians Speak: When Minutes Matter, LifeFlow Delivers.

★ Featured Case
Rapid Resuscitation in a Three-Year-Old Trauma Patient Using LifeFlow
A three-year-old male arrived in hemorrhagic shock following a traumatic head injury with significant external bleeding. EMS intubated in the field due to declining mental status. On arrival: profoundly hypotensive, tachycardic, nonresponsive. Level A trauma activation.
Access: Bilateral 22g IVs + two IO lines (proximal tibia, distal femur). Mass transfusion protocol initiated across all sites simultaneously.
The problem: The large rapid infuser connected to the left antecubital IV generated repeated high-pressure alarms and positional flow issues, disrupting delivery of whole blood and PRBCs.
LifeFlow Intervention: Two devices were set up in under five minutes before patient arrival. LifeFlow delivered FFP and normal saline consistently through the remaining IV and IO sites without interruption — including operation by a newly graduated RN without difficulty.
Outcome: Blood pressure stabilized and heart rate decreased following resuscitation. Patient transferred to the OR for surgical intervention.

Stabilizing a Patient in Severe Hemorrhagic Shock with Acute GI Bleeding in the ED
A 60-year-old male with alcohol use disorder and prior gastric ulcers presented with melena and active upper GI hemorrhage. BP 50/30 on three vasopressors. HR 125. He was intubated in the ED pending emergency EGD.
The problem: A Belmont Rapid Infuser was available — but the team lacked familiarity with its setup, a delay this patient couldn’t afford.
LifeFlow Intervention: MTP activated. LifeFlow PLUS delivered all blood products through a central cordis line — 10+ units of PRBCs and 8 units of FFP — quickly and without prior training.
Outcome: BP stabilized. EGD completed, ulcer cauterized. Off vasopressors the next day, extubated shortly after, and walked out without further complications.
