Description

The EQUASHIELD EZ Secondary Set is an integral component of a Closed System Drug Transfer Device (CSTD), specifically engineered for healthcare settings. Its primary function is to enhance safety during the preparation, reconstitution, compounding, and administration of both hazardous and non-hazardous drugs, including antineoplastic agents.

Key Features

• Contamination Prevention: This device is designed to mechanically prevent environmental contaminants from entering the system, while also ensuring that neither the drug nor its vapors escape. It effectively minimizes exposure to hazardous drugs and prevents microbial ingress for up to seven days.

• Specifications: The set includes secondary tubing with a priming volume of 6.5 ml, excluding the drip chamber. The tubing measures 45.3 inches (115 cm) in length, with a drip chamber calibrated at 20 drops per ml. It boasts a minimum gravity flow rate capable of delivering 1000 ml of sodium chloride in just 10 minutes, adhering to ISO 8536-4 standards.

• Material Composition: The fluid path materials include polyisoprene, a hydrophobic barrier, and PVC. The set is DEHP-free, latex-free, and BPA-free, complying with USP Class IV guidelines, making it suitable for chemotherapy compounding and administration.

Connectivity

• Luer Lock Connectors: The set features both male and female luer lock connectors, along with a protective plug for secure closure. It is compatible with EQUASHIELD Syringe Units and Luer Lock Adaptors (LL-2/LL-2S), ensuring a secure connection and disconnection through red orientation marks and a lever mechanism.

• Infusion Bag Integration: The set supports injection into infusion bags using a spike adaptor, providing seamless integration into existing healthcare protocols.

Intended Use

The EQUASHIELD EZ Secondary Set is intended for use in healthcare environments, substantiated for safe compounding and administration of drugs such as Busulfan, Etoposide, Paclitaxel, and Treanda. It is designed to be used in accordance with facility protocols, offering comprehensive instructions for priming, drug transfer, administration, and safe disconnection.

Safety and Compliance

This mechanically closed system is meticulously crafted to minimize occupational exposure to hazardous drugs, while effectively preventing microbial ingress. Its robust design and compliance with stringent safety standards make it an essential tool for healthcare professionals handling sensitive drug therapies.
