Description

ey Features

  • Small Bore Extension Set: This indicates that the tubing has a smaller internal diameter, which is suitable for administering fluids at lower, more controlled flow rates.

  • 0.2 Micron Filter: This is a crucial safety feature. The 0.2 micron filter is designed to remove particulate matter, air emboli, and most bacteria from the fluid as it is administered to the patient, thereby reducing the risk of infusion-related complications.

  • 8-Inch (20 cm) Length: The extension set provides a short length of tubing to extend an existing IV line. This can offer greater flexibility and freedom of movement for the patient.

  • Pinch Clamp: This allows a healthcare professional to manually control or stop the flow of fluid through the set.

  • Rotating Luer Connection: This feature allows the set to be connected to other IV components securely without twisting the tubing, which helps prevent disconnections and leaks.

  • DEHP-Free: The product is manufactured without Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a plasticizer that is a potential health concern.

  • Low Priming Volume: With a priming volume of approximately 0.49 mL, it requires a minimal amount of fluid to fill the set before the infusion begins, which is important for precise drug delivery.

Uses

The ICU B1434 extension set is used in a variety of clinical settings for IV therapy. Its primary applications include:

  • Precision Drug Delivery: The small bore design and low priming volume make it suitable for administering medications that require a low and precise flow rate.

  • Fluid Filtration: The 0.2 micron filter makes it ideal for infusions where the removal of particulates and bacteria is critical, such as during the administration of certain medications or nutritional fluids.

  • Increased Patient Mobility: By extending the IV line, it provides a greater distance between the patient and the IV pump, allowing for more patient comfort and mobility.

  • General IV Therapy: It can be used as a standard component in an IV administration setup to connect different parts of the IV system, such as a primary IV bag to a catheter.
