Advantages

3-part drip chamber design 

• With elastic bottom chamber and transparent dome. Allows to see drop forming and constant visual monitoring of the flow rate of infusion solutions.
• With Micro-Organism tight air vent filter (bacteria-tight and viral filter efficiency) with closable snap cap. Prevents the risk of contamination while venting the solution container³
• With AirStop filter helping to prevent air eintrainment into the infusion tubing and particle retention with >80% filter efficiency for particle size of 3 µm³
• With clear and easy to pierce spike, featuring separated fluid inlet and air outlet to reduce risk of air entrainment

Tube

• Fluid line from the infusion bottle to the patient.
• Soft and clear tubing that allows observance of air bubbles
• Standard dimensions: lumen 3 x 4.1 and length 180cm

Roller clamp

• Enables fine and flexible adjustment of flow rates
• Offers spike protection for safe disposal
• With tube dock designed to support handling during priming

Patient Connector 

• With Luer Lock or screw tight Spinlock adapter to prevent inadvertent disconnection. (refer to available versions)
• With back check valve to reduce the risk of back flow (versions with back check valve)
• With PrimeStop cap lined with a hydrophobic, bacteria tight membrane that stops fluid leaking and helps to protect against contamination (chemical and bacterial tightness / closed system acc. to NIOSH^{1; 4; 5})

Material related information

• Not manufactured with latex/ natural rubber
• Not manufactured with DEHP
• Not manufactured with PVC (only applicable for versions with PUR tubing)
• Not manufactured with BPA (except IV-Sets with Spinlock adapter, Discofix® stopcock, Discofix® C stopcock, and/or needle-free injection ports)

Duration of use

• Duration of use is dependent on the intended therapy according to the SPC of the drug or solution.
• In general, change of IV administration sets should occur according national guidelines (e.g. CDC guideline) and/or hospital protocols.
• IV administration pressure sets (P) should be changed after 24h at the latest if used with an infusion pump.

Options of standard add-on-devices; for example

• Various tubing lengths for e.g. better patient mobility 
• Tubing material not made with PVC or tubing material UV-protected up to 500nm wavelength to comply with SPCs of corresponding drugs
• Infuvalve® back check valve preventing backflow of solutions and blood
• Discofix® stopcock or Discofix® C stopcock for needle free injection, aspiration and parallel infusion
• Needle-free IV access with SafeFlow® or CareSite® connectors to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries

Time and process efficiency

• AirStop feature in drip chamber reduces workload of health care workers (HCW) and enables the user to re-spike into another container
• The use of IV sets with PrimeStop cap saves preparation time⁷
• Intrafix® SafeSet helps to reduce the infection and phlebitis rate and to improve the safety of the hospitalized patient⁷
