Intrafix® SafeSet Flush
IV-Administration Set for improved drug application. For infusion by gravity.
Single-use, sterile infusion systems for administration of infusion solutions.
Innovative IV-Set with inline drip chamber and needle-free access port. In combination with Intrafix® Primeline Flush Secondary Line it offers the possibility to rinse the complete system after each drug with reduction of residual volume left in the line.
Advantages
Air Embolism
AirStop filter in drip-chamber: AirStop filter helps to prevent air entrainment into the infusion tubing. Helps to prevent infusion-related infections.2
Swabable needle-free valve: Self sealing valve avoids the intake of air.3
Chemical Contamination
PrimeStop: A protective cap lined with a hydrophobic membrane stops fluid leaking.4, 5
Swabable needle-free valve: Self sealing valve helps to prevent spillage and drug exposure.3
Chemical Contamination, Drug Incompatibility & Medication Error
Configuration of the IV-Set: Possibility to flush the whole line after each administration decreases these risks and helps to prevent failure of therapy caused by substance losses and working in a closed system. 6, 7, 8, 9
Medication Error & DEHP Exposure
DEHP-free tubing: No risk of DEHP exposure.
Microbiological Contamination
Airvent: Bacteria-tight proven air vent helps to prevent the risk of contamination while venting the solution container.10
Swabable needle-free valve: Easy disinfection of the swabable needle-free valve.11
Swabable needle-free valve: Needle-free connector is designed to prevent microbial ingress and the escape of contaminants.12
PrimeStop: A protective cap lined with a hydrophobic, bacteria tight membrane stops fluid leaking. 4, 5
Configuration of the IV-Set: No re-spiking necessary before
administration of next drug.
Particulate Contamination
Fluid filter in drip-chamber: Fluid filter in the drip chamber is retaining particulate matter 15 μm and below.13
Swabable needle-free valve: Needle-free access helps to prevent coring of membranes.
Sharps Injury
Swabable needle-free valve: Needle-free access helps to prevent sharp injuries.14, 15
