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:

  • 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

  • Outpatient infusion centers

  • Long-term care facilities and nursing homes

  • Home healthcare settings
