B. Braun Sangofix Non-Vented Blood Administration Set for Blood Bags with SpinLock/PrimeLock

This is a non-vented blood administration set designed for the gravity infusion of blood and blood components from flexible blood bags. The device facilitates safe and controlled delivery of these products to patients requiring transfusion therapy. It incorporates a comprehensive filtration system to remove particulate matter and potential clots, ensuring the integrity of the infused product.

The set is constructed from medical-grade, latex-free materials, prioritizing patient safety and minimizing the risk of adverse reactions. Its design aims to provide a secure and efficient method for administering blood products in various clinical settings.

The mechanism of action involves connecting the administration set to a standard blood bag. Once connected, gravity facilitates the flow of blood through the integrated filter and tubing. The filter, with a surface area of 11 cm², is designed to capture particles and microaggregates larger than 200 micrometers, thereby preventing them from reaching the patient.

The set features a drip chamber that allows for visual monitoring of the flow rate and the presence of air bubbles. A roller clamp enables precise control over the infusion speed and can be used to stop the flow when necessary. The SpinLock connector ensures a secure, leak-free connection to the patient's intravenous access device, while the PrimeStop cap helps prevent accidental blood spillage and exposure during setup and disconnection.

Key features of this blood administration set include a total tube length of 180 cm, providing adequate reach for patient positioning. The set is pressure resistant up to 400 mm Hg, allowing for safe use in situations where moderate pressure may be encountered. The transparent construction of the components, including the drip chamber and tubing, allows for clear visual inspection of the blood flow and the presence of any abnormalities.

The use of a sharp needle facilitates easy and relatively comfortable insertion into the infusion line. The non-vented design is specifically intended for use with standard blood bags, eliminating the need for an air vent.

This medical device is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals, including nurses, physicians, and phlebotomists, in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. Patients receiving blood transfusions are the ultimate recipients of the therapy facilitated by this set. Caregivers may also be involved in the setup and monitoring of the infusion under the guidance of medical professionals.

The set is suitable for a wide range of transfusion applications, including the administration of red blood cells, plasma, and other blood components. Its design is adaptable for use in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients, depending on the specific clinical requirements and product specifications available.

Typical applications encompass all scenarios requiring the intravenous administration of blood products from flexible bags. This includes treatment for anemia, blood loss due to trauma or surgery, certain hematological disorders, and during complex medical procedures. The set is designed for single-use only to prevent cross-contamination and ensure sterility.

Important usage notes include verifying the integrity of the packaging before use, as damaged packaging should not be utilized. The set is not intended for resterilization and should be disposed of appropriately after a single patient use. Storage should be in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.

Healthcare professionals should follow established protocols for blood product administration, including proper priming of the set and monitoring of the patient throughout the transfusion process.
