Infusjonssett Dosifix, Safeset, 250cm
In gravity infusion, Dosifix® SafeSet allows a precise dosage of solution which is given to the patient. This functionality is particularly important for neonatal, pediatric and geriatric care. In gravity or pump-controlled* flow-situations Dosifix® SafeSet is also used for an intermittent infusion of medication in its correct dilution in a closed system with the ability to flush the IV line after each application for mono and multiple therapy without the need to re-spike.
Advantages
Dosing Function:
Fluid overload in critical illness can have harmful effects and contribute to morbidity and mortality.1,2,3 To prevent the accidental over-infusion of large volumes of fluid, intravenous fluids and transfusions should be given with an in-line burette to ensure that the exact doses of fluids prescribed are administered, especially for neonates and paediatric patients.4 The calibrated 150 ml-dosing container of Dosifix® SafeSet allows a precise dosage of solution which is given to the patient and thus reduces the risk of overdosage.5
Admixture Function:
Due to its admixture port on top of the dosage container, Dosifix® SafeSet can be used for an intermittent infusion of medication in its correct dilution with the ability to flush the IV line after each application.5
Flushing Function:
Being connected to an IV container with neutral solution (e.g. NaCl 0.9 %) Dosifix® SafeSet provides the possibility to flush the entire IV line after each drug.5 Flushing helps to prevent the risk of drug incompatibilities when giving multiple doses of intermittent infusions of different drugs and reduces the residual volume of highly effective medication which decreases the risk of therapy failure caused by substance loss.6,7
AirStop:
Dosifix® SafeSet provides the important AirStop function which helps to protect against air infusion. A hydrophilic depth filter membrane inside the drip chamber maintains a constant fluid level when the burette has run empty and prevents the infusion line from running dry.5
PrimeStop:
Lined with a hydrophobic, bacteria-tight membrane, the protective PrimeStop cap of Dosifix® SafeSet stops fluid leaks while priming the set.5
Functional Hanger Design for stabilization of the Dosifix® SafeSet dosing container.5
Highlighted scaling values and optimized swimmer design for visualization of fluid level.5
Closed System:
Being connected to an IV container with neutral solution (e.g. NaCl 0.9 %) and equipped with the needle-free, self-sealing Safeflow port on top of the burette as well as the AirStop filter inside the drip chamber, Dosifix® forms a Closed System acc. to NIOSH. It prevents microbial ingress and the escape of any solution or contaminants into the adjacent environment.5,8
