IV Tap
Free AppAbout IV Tap
IV Tap provides an alternative to the traditional IV pump by measuring the rate of drops into the tubing's drip chamber.
Your phone is your stopwatch, calculator, and drug reference library!
Now your phone allows you to quickly and accurately calculate the flow rate using time-tested methods! It uses the same principles that were used before intravenous pumps existed.
IV Tap allows you to use 10 ggt/mL, 15 ggt/mL, 20 ggt/mL, and 60 ggt/mL tubing.
IV Tap is perfect for the pre-hospital setting, emergency department and operating room.
IV Tap also assists in places where IV pumps are not available, yet critically ill patients still exist.
IV Tap does NOT require internet access.
The only optional upgrade is 0.99 cent access to the drug library.
You can request new drugs for the drug library via a simple email to me, your friendly developer (and flight nurse).
Tap the screen whenever there is a drip in the tubing drip chamber.
Common dosages, concentrations, and dilutions are provided.
The app makes it easy and fast!
Use it whenever pumps fail, are not available, or would take too long to set up.
It is intended for both the pre-hospital setting, and procedural sedation.
Anesthesiologists, nurses and paramedics should all have this valuable tool in their pocket.
Use it when you need to set up an IV drip fast.
Use it when precise titration of IV fluid is desired.
Use it as a reference for starting a medication infusion.
Use it as a learning tool.
Pro Tip:
Try setting up a "half set" of your pump tubing above 60 gtt tubing. Flush the tubing, then begin the drip immediately with IV Tap. Use a pressure bag if necessary. Set up your pump later, after stabilizing your patient.
Now you can simply insert the pump tubing into the pump with minimal disruption of the infusion.
Intuitive, easy and affordable. Free version available.
NO ADS!
WARNING: Anyone may use this app for educational purposes. Only trained and qualified individuals may use this app with real drugs and patients. Always follow your institution's policies. Read and adhere to the product guidelines that are included with your medications, pump tubing, and other equipment.
UPDATE: Some users reported difficulty accessing the drugs after paying for the upgrade. The drugs ARE in fact available, but you must touch the "lock" button again. You will not be charged a second time. This problem has been FIXED in the newest update. If you have any difficulty, just email me at jacksonpeakinnovations@gmail.com. We are working to fix this problem now. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Pros: 1. It's fast and easy to use (once you get the hang of it). 2. It allows you to titrate vasoactive drips (or sedation) without an IV pump 3. It stores all of the dilutions and dosages 4. It does NOT require internet access and there are NO ADS!! Cons: 1. It is not cosmetically pleasing 2. It does not have a great way to look up medications names (it is just a list, with generic and brand names together) 3. It doesn't include enough medications (there are no non-US names or medications in the database) Summary: A perfect app to have if: 1. you need to quickly start a vasopressor in a crashing patient 2. you want to estimate the rate of IV fluids (gravity or pressure-bag) 3. you need to perform light sedation (for a procedure) 4. you work with IV pumps that might fail (everything fails eventually) 5. You sometimes have more drips running than IV channels available 6. You like to hope for the best and plan for the worst.

Very easy to use. Saved me when I had a pump failure during a long transport flight.

As a flight nurse, I need to set up IV drips fast, and this let's me do exactly that. I use it to measure the rate of IV fluid. I also have all the drug information just in case my pumps fail at crucial times. This is a "must have" app for medical providers who deal with IV drips.

As a flight nurse, I need to set up IV drips fast, and this let's me do exactly that. No more alarming pumps. I love how it shows the math that it uses to calculate the infusion. It records mL and mg infused. It has mcg/kg/min and other appropriate dosages. It has common dosages and dilutions programmed in and it alerts you when the infusion is outside of range. It helps you correlate the app to the drip with a metronome or buzzing. This is a "must have" app for medical providers.

Love this app. It does all my dosage calculations by tapping in sync with the patients IV
