Description
Key Features:
Gravity Administration: This set is designed for gravity infusion, meaning the flow rate is manually regulated by a roller clamp and the height of the IV bag, rather than an electronic pump. This makes it a cost-effective and straightforward solution for administering secondary medications.
20 Drops/mL Drip Rate: The set is calibrated to deliver approximately 20 drops per milliliter of fluid. This standardized drop factor is essential for calculating and controlling the infusion rate.
31-Inch Tubing: The tubing length of 31 inches (approximately 79 cm) provides adequate flexibility for connecting the secondary IV bag to the primary infusion line without causing tension or dislodgement.
Portless and Filterless Design: This specific model is designed without injection ports or an in-line filter. The absence of ports can reduce the risk of contamination at the connection site.
Spin Male Luer Lock: It features a rotating male Luer lock connector, which allows for a secure and leak-proof connection to the primary IV tubing. The spinning mechanism helps to prevent twisting of the tubing during connection.
Included Hanger: The set comes with a hanger to conveniently suspend the secondary IV bag from the primary IV pole.
Material Composition: The tubing is DEHP-free and the entire set is latex-free, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions in patients with sensitivities to these materials.
Sterile Fluid Path: The internal pathway of the tubing is sterile, ensuring the safe delivery of medications and solutions without introducing contaminants.
Primary Uses:
The primary application of the BD 10016073 Alaris® Secondary IV Administration Set is for "piggybacking" secondary IV infusions. This involves administering a second medication or solution intermittently through a pre-existing primary IV line.
Common clinical applications include:
Antibiotic Administration: Delivering intravenous antibiotics at scheduled intervals.
Pain Medication: Administering analgesics as needed for pain management.
Electrolyte Replacement: Infusing electrolytes such as potassium or magnesium.
Other Intermittent Medications: Delivering a wide range of other medications that are not suitable for continuous infusion.
This secondary IV set is widely used in various healthcare settings, including:
Hospitals and acute care facilities
