Description:

The Baxa 099R automates repetitive fluid transfers in laminar hoods, freeing technicians for verification tasks. Using a captive silicone tube set and 16-gauge needle, the pump aspirates and dispenses volumes from 0.2 mL to 9 999 mL with ±10 % accuracy at the lowest dose. Twenty memory cells recall common recipes, while 27 speed settings—including reverse—handle viscous chemo solutes or elastomeric infusor filling. A “draw-back” feature relieves line pressure between strokes, preventing drips that compromise sterility. Programming is via solvent-safe keypad; a foot pedal or interval mode triggers each aliquot so gloved hands stay inside ISO 5 flow. At 9.8 × 5.9 × 3.9 in and 2.6 lb the 099R fits entirely in the hood or mounts on an external stand, and the 100–240 V brick draws <20 W, eliminating heat load in the clean zone.

Economic Advantage:

Replacing hand syringes with the Repeater cuts technician motion by up to 50 % and reduces overfill wastage; one oncology pharmacy reported an annual drug saving exceeding $25 000—ten times the pump’s price. Consumables are unmetered tubing sets rather than proprietary cassettes, lowering running costs by 60 %.
