First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical apparatus comprising:
- a container having a first and a second compartment formed therein;
the first compartment having a configuration and dimensions compatible with a standard intravenous fluid bag;
the second compartment at least partially surrounding the first compartment;
the second compartment operable to apply force to the first compartment;
the first compartment capable of holding an internal fluid pressure of at least 1000 mm mercury in response to force applied to the first compartment by the second compartment;
a connector operable to releasably engage the second compartment with a source of fluid pressure; and
an indicator operable to display a pressure measurement of a fluid within the second compartment.
