Q. Why do you call HIgH·Flo
“safety” needle sets?
A. The butterfly wings close at
the ends, to encapsulate the
needle after use. This feature of

prevent accidental needlestick injuries.
Q. What could cause drug to leak at the
infusion site?
A. Confirm you are using HIgH·Flo needles. Some
possible causes include: excessive movement, a needle
length that is too short, a site with too little subcutaneous
tissue, too much volume in an individual site or over-saturation of the sites, due to too fast a flow rate.
Q. When using more than one needle, do I need
to do anything special to be sure the drug is
evenly distributed?
A. No special actions are necessary.
Equal flow to each site reduces the
risk that one site will over-fill.
Dynamic Equilibrium automatically
slows down the infusion to any site
if pressure increases − to help prevent pain swelling, and oozing.

Sites that still regularly fill more than
others may be an indication that those subcutaneous
layers have more space, or that different locations require
different length needles.
Q. Can HIgH·Flo needles be used with other
pumps besides the FreedomEdge™ ?
A. Yes. Our needles are compatible with other pumps,
including RMS' FREEDOM60®. However, only RMS Home
Infusion systems offer DynEQ™ (Dynamic Equilibrium),
which automatically adjusts the flow rate if the tissues at
the infusion site become saturated. To achieve the full
benefits of DynEQ™ , we recommend that you use HIgH·Flo
needle sets with our pumps. Constant flow pumps use
higher pressures and are not sensitive to the back pressure
and, therefore, will continue the stated flow rate beyond
