Non-absorbing intravenous administration set

Definition

A collection of sterile devices designed for the intravenous (IV) administration of solutions and manufactured with low-absorption plastics to avoid partial absorption of the components of the infused solutions. It typically consists of plastic tubes made of or lined with non absorbing plastics [e.g., polyethylene (PE), Teflon], to avoid solution contact with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) components; it also includes a check valve, a roller clamp, a Y-site connector, and Luer adaptors. The set is mainly used in high-flow infusion pumps for administration of solutions containing products (e.g., nitroglycerin) that are absorbed by PVC materials. This is a single-use device.
