- Used in intravenous therapy to enhance patient safety by removing particulates, bacteria, and air
Uses
- In-line Filtration:
- Connects to IV sets to filter IV fluids as they are administered
- Air Elimination:
- Removes air from the IV line, preventing air embolism
- Particulate & Microbial Removal:
- Filters out particles, bacteria, and fungi from solutions
- Medication Safety:
- Prevents solid particles from incompatibility reactions from reaching the patient
Features
- 0.2 Micron Filter:
- High filtration efficiency for small particles, bacteria, and fungi
- Low Priming Volume (0.8mL):
- Conserves fluid and medication, ideal for precise dosing
- DEHP & Latex-Free:
- Safe for patients with sensitivities (Natural Rubber Latex-Free)
- Connections:
- Equipped with Luer Lock and Spin-Lock connectors for secure attachment
- Sterile:
- Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EO) for safe use
Benefits
- Improved Patient Safety:
- Reduces risk of infection and particulate-related complications
- Fluid/Medication Conservation:
- Minimal priming volume means less wasted expensive drugs
- Reduced Complications:
- Studies suggest IV filtration can lower overall complication rates in ICUs
- Economic Advantage:
- Decreased ICU stay length can lead to significant cost savings for facilities
- Versatile:
- Suitable for various IV therapies where sterile, filtered fluid is needed
