- Designed to provide a secure, closed system for fluid delivery without the need for additional access points
- Used to extend the length of an existing IV line and is suitable for applications requiring dedicated and continuous line access where minimized manipulation of the IV system is necessary
Uses
- Continuous IV therapy:
- Ideal for long-term infusions where medication is administered without interruption
- Critical care units:
- Used in environments where precise and controlled fluid flow is essential
- Hospitals and clinics:
- For various general applications in clinical environments
- Closed system setups:
- Designed to maintain a sterile, closed system, which helps prevent contamination by reducing unnecessary access points
Features
- Small Bore Tubing:
- Provides precise and controlled flow of fluids due to its smaller internal diameter
- Length:
- The tubing is approximately 12 to 13 inches long
- No Injection Site/Port:
- The design is without any injection ports or filters, streamlining the setup and reducing potential contamination risks
- Connectors:
- Features a female luer connector at the proximal end and a distal male Spin-Lock® connector, designed to prevent dislodgment and ensure secure connections
- Flow Control:
- Includes a non-removable slide clamp for easy and reliable flow control
- Safety Materials:
- The components are not made with DEHP, latex, or natural rubber, making them safe for patients with sensitivities to these materials
- Sterility:
- Each set is sterile and intended for single use
- Priming Volume:
- Has a low priming volume of approximately 0.4 mL, which is efficient for setup
Benefits
- Minimized Contamination Risk:
- By having no injection port and being a closed system component, the risk of external contamination is significantly reduced, enhancing patient safety
- Accurate Fluid Delivery:
- The small bore tubing allows for accurate and controlled administration of medications or fluids, especially in critical care scenarios
- Secure Connections:
- The distal Spin-Lock® connector is designed to be secure, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection or leaks
- Patient Safety:
- Being DEHP-free and latex-free lowers the risk of allergic reactions and exposure to potentially harmful chemicals
- Streamlined Workflow:
- The simple design with a slide clamp is easy to use and helps maintain a streamlined and efficient IV setup
