Cyto-Set® Infusomat® Space

I.V. administration set for the application of cytostatics

Cyto-Set® is a single-use, sterile infusion system for administration of different cytotoxic drugs via one single closed line-system by gravity or pressure. The Cyto-Set® system reduces the risk of contamination of person and environment when preparing and applying cytotoxic drugs provided by its technical components forming a closed system and the resulting workflow.

The variety of Cyto-Set® products is widespread and offers a convenient solution for the application and preparation of cytostatic drugs in several situations. When used together, Cyto-Set® Mix and Cyto-Set® provide a closed system from preparation in the pharmacy to the application on the ward, all the way to the disposal after the treatment.

The device can be used for all patients for which infusion therapy is prescribed. No gender or age related limitations. Cyto-Set® can be used for adults, pediatric and neonates.

Advantages

Chemical Contamination

  • Needle-free valve: Helps to reduce the risk of chemical contamination as the valves are designed for preventing spillage / drug exposure1

Microbiological Contamination

  • Finger stopper and finger grip: Reduction of microbial contamination due to the finger stopper and finger grip.2
  • PrimeStop: Improved safety against microbial contamination due to the hydrophobic, bacteria retentive PrimeStop cap on the patient connector which provides a closed system until connection to the patient.3, 4
  • Needle-free valve: Provides easy access, while helping to reduce the chance of accidental touch contamination.5
  • Air vent filter in the spike: The bacteria tight air vent filter in the spike reduces the contamination risk of the infusion solution.6

Drug Incompatibility

  • Grip plate with integrated back check valves: Integrated back check valves enables an improved safety standard and less risk of unmeant mixture of drugs due to the prevention of reflux.7

Particulate Contamination

  • 15 μm filter in the drip chamber: A particle filter in the drip chamber with pore size of 15 μm prevents the infusion of particles from the infusion container.8
  • 0.2 μm Sterifix® filter: The 0.2 μm Sterifix® filter retains bacteria, fungi, particles and air.

Sharps Injury

  • Needle-free valve: Provides needle-free access, while eliminating the risk of needlestick injuries.9, 10

Medication Error

  • Structure of the regime: Due to the 90° angle of the valves in the grip plate, the whole Cyto-Set® regime is structured well, which reduces the risk of mistaking the drugs within the therapy. 7

Air Embolism

  • AirStop: AirStop function in drip chamber reduces the risk of air embolism.11

DEHP Exposure

  • PVC / DEHP free tubing: All lines are PVC-free, there is no risk of DEHP exposure.

Pump application
Compatible with Infusomat® fm, fmS and Infusomat® Space

  • Silicone pump segment for high delivery accuracy and long-term consistency
  • Parallel stripes indicate correct loading
  • Different fastening clips on the lower and upper part of the silicone pump segment for easy and secure tubing guidance
    Additional set based anti-free flow clamp, automatically clamps the line whenever the tubing is removed from the pump

Paediatric use:

  • PVC / DEHP free tubing: All lines are PVC-free, there is no risk of DEHP exposure.
