PVC-free infusion filter sets for the application ofchemotherapeutic agents
Intrafix® Filter Set

IV Set with 0.2 µm inline IV filter for gravity use to

  • retain particles, bacteria and fungi
  • eliminate air

Advantages

Ready to use built-in Sterifix® infusion filter

A clinical study showed, that by using B. Braun IV filters the overall complication rate could be reduced by 10%. Using IV filters also makes financial sense: the length of ICU stay can be decreased by almost one day / patient which represents a 23% drop – a substantial economic advantage because additional patients a year can be admitted. In a study, this led in turn to an increase in revenue because no patients had to be turned away due to lack of capacity.1,2

Supor® membrane 0.2 µm, effective filtration area 10 cm2 made out of Polyethersulfone (PES)

  • helps to prevent particulate contamination by retaining particles > 0.2 µm. 3
  • reduces microbiological contamination by retaining bacteria and fungi. 4, 5
  • reduces the risk of medication error. Solid particles > 0.2 µm occurring from incompatibility reactions are retained by the IV filter membrane.3 Blockage of filter membrane can be an alarming signal for an incompatibility reaction which could have severe clinical consequences for the patient when being infused.
  • low protein binding.6

Venting function - two 0.02 μm hydrophobic PTFE-membranes to

  • reduce the risk of air embolism regardless position of filter. The hydrophobic characteristic of the membrane blocks the passage of air and successfully vents the excess air out of the system.3
