- A gravity-fed anesthesia IV administration set that features multiple needleless access points and stopcocks for the flexible and safe management of various medications during surgical procedures
Uses
- Anesthesia and Surgical Procedures:
- Its primary use is in the operating room, allowing anesthesiologists to rapidly and safely switch between or combine multiple infusions and injections via dedicated ports and stopcocks during surgery
- Multiple Medication Administration:
- The numerous access points (two CARESITE Luer Access Devices and three ULTRAPORT Zer0 stopcocks) facilitate the simultaneous or sequential delivery of various medications or fluids through a single IV line
- Gravity Infusions:
- The set is designed for gravity-controlled infusions, utilizing a roller clamp to regulate the flow rate
Features
- Needleless Ports:
- Features two CARESITE® Luer Access Devices and three 4-way, high-flow ULTRAPORT Zer0 stopcocks, all with luer-activated needleless ports, which reduce the risk of needlestick injuries
- Secure Connections:
- Includes a universal spike for IV solution containers, a backcheck valve, and a distal male Spin-Lock® connector to provide secure, locking connections throughout the system
- Flow Control:
- Contains multiple flow control mechanisms, including a roller clamp and slide clamps, for precise management of infusions
- Specifications:
- Drip Rate:
- 15 drops/mL, indicating it is a macrodrip set for standard flow rates
- Tubing Length:
- 117 inches (297 cm), providing ample length for flexibility in the surgical setting
- Priming Volume:
- 22mL
- Material Safety:
- The components are not made with DEHP or natural rubber latex, which is safer for patients with allergies or chemical sensitivities
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety:
- The needleless access system significantly lowers the risk of needlestick injuries for healthcare workers, while the DEHP/latex-free materials enhance patient safety
- Operational Efficiency:
- The multiple integrated ports and stopcocks simplify complex administration procedures by providing ready access points, potentially reducing procedure time and improving workflow in busy environments like the OR
- Flexibility:
- The extensive length and numerous access points offer clinicians flexibility in managing multiple infusions without needing to add extra components manually, which can save time and reduce costs
