DripRate+ - A simple and easy-to-use IV Drip Rate calculation App "DripRate+" is a reference tool designed to assist in the calculation of drip rates and volumes. This app was developed to complement the judgment of healthcare professionals and is not intended as a direct medical tool. It can be used as a reference tool for nursing in hospitals and at home. The differences from the free version are as follows: ・No ads ・Add and edit calculation records 【Main Features】 ●IV Drip Rate Calculation Simply input the volume of fluid, administration time, and IV set to automatically calculate the drip rate and volume as a reference. It is also possible to calculate from the volume of fluid and administration speed. ●Various Display Times You can choose and set the optimal unit time for the drip rate and volume from multiple options. ●Numeric Settings You can choose from picker (drum roll) or numeric keys (numpad) input. When you tap a number, a control for setting it appears underneath. ●Save Function You can switch and save up to 5 calculation records with tabs. The title of the tab can be edited by long-pressing it. You can add and rearrange them on the edit screen. ●Confirmation Sound and Vibration You can confirm the drip speed by sound and vibration. There are 10 types of confirmation sounds and 3 levels of vibration to choose from. ●Customize You can change the color of the text to suit your preference. ●Timer Function You can run multiple timers at the same time.
