Infusion Sets For IV therapy

•About Infusion Sets (Based on Industry Standards)

-Infusion sets are essential medical devices used to deliver fluids and medications directly into a patient’s vein through gravity flow or pumps.

Key Components & Their Roles:

•Spike & Protective Cap: Pierces IV bags safely while maintaining sterility.

•Air Vent (Vented vs Non-Vented):

•Vented: Required for rigid containers like glass bottles.

•Non-vented: Ideal for flexible IV bags.

•Drip Chamber: Enables observation of infusion flow rate.

•Solution Filter: Filters out particulates and bacteria (down to 0.22–15 microns).

•Flow Regulator / Roller Clamp: Allows precise control or halting of fluid flow.

•Injection Site / Y-port: Enables the administration of additional medications mid-infusion.

•Luer Connector (Lock or Slip): Ensures leak-free connection between the set and needle or catheter.

•Tubing: Transparent PVC (DEHP-free options available) channels fluid; typically 150 cm
