B. Braun 1.2 Micron Filtered Extension Set with CARESITE Injection Site

The B. Braun 1.2 Micron Filtered Extension Set with CARESITE Injection Site is a critical medical device designed to deliver safe, sterile, and reliable intravenous fluid and medication administration in healthcare settings. This extension set combines advanced filtration technology with needle-free access, making it an ideal choice for clinical professionals who prioritize patient safety and ease of use.

Product Overview and Purpose

This filtered IV extension set is engineered for use in hospitals, clinics, ambulatory care centers, and other medical facilities where reliable intravenous access is essential. The 1.2 micron filter works to eliminate air bubbles and protect against particulate contamination, ensuring that medications and fluids reach patients safely. The CARESITE needle-free injection site provides convenient, secure access for multiple medication administrations without the need for traditional needles, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries and improving infection control.

Key Features and Benefits

• Advanced 1.2 Micron Filtration: Provides effective air elimination and particulate protection, safeguarding fluid integrity during administration.
• CARESITE Needle-Free Injection Site: Located 6 inches above the distal end, this port allows for multiple safe medication accesses without traditional needle puncture.
• Optimal Tubing Dimensions: The 16-inch tubing length and 4.5 mL priming volume offer a balance between patient flexibility and minimal fluid waste.
• SPIN-LOCK Connector: Ensures secure, leak-free connections to reduce the risk of line displacement or fluid extravasation.
• Flow Control: On/off clamp allows for easy regulation of fluid flow rates according to clinical requirements.
• Patient Safety Materials: DEHP-free and latex-free composition reduces allergic reactions and chemical exposure risks for sensitive patients.

Material Composition and Safety

The tubing is constructed from latex-free, DEHP-free PVC that meets rigorous safety standards. While the product contains BPA and PVC as structural components, the absence of DEHP (a plasticizer) and natural rubber latex makes it suitable for patients with known sensitivities. This formulation supports clinical protocols in facilities that prioritize the avoidance of potentially harmful chemical additives.

Sterility and Shelf Life

Each set is sterilized using ethylene oxide (EO) and comes in sterile, single-use packaging. The 36-month shelf life from the date of manufacture provides an adequate timeframe for inventory management in busy healthcare facilities. Always verify expiration dates before clinical use to ensure product integrity and maintain patient safety standards.

Who This Product Is For

This extension set is suitable for adult patients requiring intravenous fluid or medication administration in clinical settings. It is particularly beneficial for patients requiring multiple medication accesses, those sensitive to latex or DEHP exposure, and facilities implementing needle-free protocols to reduce occupational exposures among healthcare workers.
