IV-Administration Set for improved drug application. For infusion by gravity.

Single-use, sterile infusion systems for administration of infusion solutions.
Innovative IV-Set with inline drip chamber and needle-free access port. In combination with Intrafix® Primeline Flush Secondary Line it offers the possibility to rinse the complete system after each drug with reduction of residual volume left in the line.

Advantages

Air Embolism:

AirStop filter in drip-chamber: AirStop filter helps to prevent air entrainment into the infusion tubing. Helps to prevent infusion-related infections.2

Swabable needle-free valve: Self sealing valve avoids the intake of air.3

Chemical Contamination:

PrimeStop: A protective cap lined with a hydrophobic membrane stops fluid leaking.4, 5

Swabable needle-free valve: Self sealing valve helps to prevent spillage and drug exposure.3

Chemical Contamination, Drug Incompatibility & Medication Error:

Configuration of the IV-Set: Possibility to flush the whole line after each administration decreases these risks and helps to prevent failure of therapy caused by substance losses and working in a closed system. 6, 7, 8, 9

Medication Error & DEHP Exposure:

DEHP-free tubing: No risk of DEHP exposure.

Microbiological Contamination

Airvent: Bacteria-tight proven air vent helps to prevent the risk of contamination while venting the solution container.10

Swabable needle-free valve: Easy disinfection of the swabable needle-free valve.11

Swabable needle-free valve: Needle-free connector is designed to prevent microbial ingress and the escape of contaminants.12

PrimeStop: A protective cap lined with a hydrophobic, bacteria tight membrane stops fluid leaking. 4, 5

Configuration of the IV-Set: No re-spiking necessary before administration of next drug.

Particulate Contamination:

Fluid filter in drip-chamber: Fluid filter in the drip chamber is retaining particulate matter 15 μm and below.13

Swabable needle-free valve: Needle-free access helps to prevent coring of membranes.

Sharps Injury:

Swabable needle-free valve: Needle-free access helps to prevent sharp injuries.14, 15
