- A gravity IV administration set with a dual manifold, designed primarily for use in anesthesia and other surgical settings where multiple infusions or rapid access might be needed
Uses
- Anesthesia:
- It is specifically marketed as an anesthesia set, indicating its use in operating rooms where anesthesiologists need multiple ports for administering various medications during procedures
- Multiple Infusions:
- The integrated dual manifold and extra ports allow for the simultaneous administration of different fluids or medications via a single IV line to the patient
- Gravity Administration:
- This set is primarily a gravity administration set, meaning the flow rate is controlled by a roller clamp and the height of the IV bag, rather than an electronic infusion pump
- General IV Therapy:
- It can be used for general IV fluid and medication delivery in various hospital and clinic settings where a multi-port system is beneficial
Features
- Dual Manifold and CARESITE Ports:
- It comes with two CARESITE® Luer Access Devices and a SAFEPORT™ Dual Manifold, providing a total of three needle-free access points for intermittent injections or secondary infusions
- Needle-Free System:
- The needleless design of the ports minimizes the risk of needlestick injuries for healthcare workers
- Secure Connections:
- Features a universal spike for connecting to IV solution containers and a distal male Spin-Lock® connector for a secure, locking connection to the patient's catheter
- Flow Control:
- Includes both a roller clamp and two additional slide clamps for effective flow regulation and temporary cessation of flow
- Specifications:
- Drip Rate: 60 drops per milliliter (60 drops/mL), which is often used when a higher level of precision or a slower drip is needed, such as in anesthesia
- Tubing Length: 122 inches (310 cm)
- Priming Volume: 21mL
- Material Information:
- The components are DEHP-free and latex-free, which reduces the risk of exposure to potentially harmful chemicals for both patients and staff
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety:
- The needleless system significantly reduces the incidence of needlestick injuries, and the DEHP/latex-free materials improve patient safety by minimizing exposure to harmful substances and allergens
- Increased Flexibility:
- The multiple access ports and ample tubing length provide greater flexibility in managing multiple infusions simultaneously, which is highly beneficial in dynamic environments like the operating room
- Efficiency:
- The preassembled nature and number of integrated components save time during setup by eliminating the need to add extra stopcocks or ports manually
- Reliable Performance:
- The 60 drops/mL rate allows for good control over fluid and medication administration, and the secure locking connections ensure a reliable system during use
