Description

Enhance the safety and flexibility of intravenous therapy with the CLAVE IV Admin Macrobore T Tubing, expertly crafted by ICU Medical. This IV extension set is designed to extend the length of existing IV infusion lines, providing a reliable solution for healthcare settings where patient mobility and line management are crucial.

Key Features

• Macrobore Tubing: The large diameter of the macrobore tubing ensures a faster flow rate, making it suitable for various medical applications.
• Material: Constructed from DEHP-free, flexible PVC, this tubing is both safe and adaptable, reducing potential health risks associated with plasticizers.
• Length: With a prioritized length of 5-1/2 inches, it offers optimal extension without excessive slack.
• Priming Volume: A low priming volume of 0.66 mL minimizes fluid waste, enhancing efficiency.

Port and Connection Design

• Needle-Free Port: Equipped with a single needle-free port featuring a Clave or MicroClave™ design, the T-connector allows for secure and easy access without the risk of needlestick injuries.
• Luer Lock Connections: The male/female luer lock with a rotating connector ensures a secure and versatile connection to existing IV lines.
• Flow Control: Includes a slide clamp for precise flow management, preventing unintended fluid movement.

Safety and Compatibility

• Sterility and Latex-Free: The tubing is sterile and latex-free, making it suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with latex sensitivities.
• Backflow Prevention: While a filter is not included, the potential presence of a backflow valve helps prevent blood leakage, maintaining line integrity.
• Saline-Lock Capability: Enhances line management by allowing the line to be easily flushed and maintained when not in active use.

Practical Applications

This extension set is ideal for increasing IV line length to improve patient mobility and reduce the risk of catheter dislodgement. The T-connector design facilitates additional medication infusion, providing healthcare professionals with greater flexibility in treatment administration.

Maintenance and Precautions

Regular maintenance includes changing the tubing, priming before use, and clamping when not in use to prevent fluid back-tracking. It is not recommended for rapid infusion rates, such as in emergency situations, and requires careful management when multiple ports are involved to prevent complications.

The CLAVE IV Admin Macrobore T Tubing by ICU Medical is a trusted component in medical environments, enhancing the safety and efficiency of IV therapy through innovative design and reliable performance.
