We currently use the microclave. We have a relatively high number of occlusions. Otherwise we are content with the product. We do have a zero CRBSI rate with the product. We have considered the RyMed product and I was inpressed by the flat surface. If you do not mind sharing, What types of problems are you having with the RyMed product? You may email me directly if you do not wish to explain on this forum. Thanks, [email protected]

We currently use the Microclave at the Children's hospital and the Rymed at the Adult hospital. We had some problems at the onset (can you say learning curve) but to date both seem to be working well.

We used the Microclave for over a year. Whether or not it is truly a neutral displacement valve is debatable. We experienced frequent occlusions which I thought was due to poor technique by the staff. We switched to the Maxplus Clear over a year ago and our occlusion problems nearly disappeared.
