Introvenous Fluid Generation

Intravenous Fluid Generation – Mini (IVGEN Mini) hardware inside the Life Sciences Glovebox (LSG) ground facility at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). This investigation aims to verify operations for a miniaturized system and its ability to make medical-grade saline solution using potable water aboard the International Space Station. On future exploration missions, this system could give crew members the ability to generate intravenous fluids on demand. Credit: NASA.
