IV extension line / syringe pump extension set
Description
The B. Braun Original Perfusor Line IV Extension (150 cm) is a transparent PVC extension line designed for use with syringe pumps in infusion therapy. It connects the syringe and the patient access via Luer-Lock connectors at both ends, providing a secure, leak-proof connection for precise and reliable administration of IV medications and fluids. The line has a tube diameter of 1.5 x 2.7 mm, is pressure proof up to 2 bar and features minimised dead space to support accurate dosing, especially in critical and long-term infusions. It is made of PVC that is not manufactured with DEHP or latex, providing a safer option for patients requiring DEHP-free and latex-free infusion components.
Bnefits
Provides a secure and leak-proof connection between syringe and patient access via standard Luer-Lock connectors, compatible with all commonly used syringe pumps up to 2 bar.
Minimised dead space in the line supports accurate dosing and rapid response to changes in infusion rate or medication concentration.
Transparent tubing allows easy visual inspection of the fluid path for air bubbles, kinks or particulate contamination.
PVC tubing not manufactured with DEHP or latex reduces exposure to plasticisers and latex-associated sensitivities.
Pressure proof up to 2 bar, enabling safe use with syringe pumps across a wide range of clinical infusion applications.
Available as a single sterile unit, allowing flexible stocking for specific syringe pump therapies without committing to large bulk packs.
Indications
Use as an extension line between a syringe in a syringe pump and patient IV access for continuous or intermittent infusion therapy.
Suitable for all syringe pumps used in infusion techniques up to a pressure of < 2 bar.
Applications across a wide range of therapies including intensive care, anesthesia, pediatrics, oncology and general ward infusions.
Composition
Tubing: Medical-grade PVC, not manufactured with DEHP.
Connectors: Luer-Lock connectors at both syringe and patient ends (standard type).
Additives: Formulated to be latex-free; material specification according to B. Braun Perfusor line product data.
Formulation
Extension line for IV administration, compatible with syringe pumps.
Length: 150 cm.
Tube diameter: 1.5 x 2.7 mm (inner x outer diameter).
Material: PVC extension line (Original Perfusor Line PVC, DEHP-free).
Connectivity: Luer-Lock connectors; standard configuration for all syringe pumps up to < 2 bar.
Pressure resistance: pressure proof up to 2 bar.
Design feature: minimised dead space to improve dosing accuracy.
Packaging
Supplied as a single sterile, individually wrapped Original Perfusor extension line (1 piece).
Primary packaging: sterile blister or peel-pack with product identification, REF number (e.g. 8722960) and lot/expiry details as per B. Braun standards.
Secondary packaging: shipped in cartons containing multiple single units for clinical stock management, quantity depending on distributor.
Usage
Check the packaging for integrity and expiry date; do not use if the sterile package is damaged or expired.
Using aseptic technique, open the sterile package and remove the extension line.
Connect one Luer-Lock end securely to the syringe loaded in the syringe pump.
Connect the other Luer-Lock end to the patient IV access device (e.g., cannula, IV port or manifold) according to local protocols.
Prime the line with the infusion solution by running the pump at low speed or manually priming until all air is expelled from the tubing.
Set the syringe pump parameters (rate, volume, pressure limits) according to the prescribed therapy and confirm that they are within the product’s pressure limit (< 2 bar).
Monitor the infusion regularly for kinks, disconnections, leaks or signs of occlusion.
After completion of the therapy, disconnect and dispose of the line as clinical waste in accordance with local infection-prevention regulations.
Single use only: do not attempt to clean, reprocess or re-sterilise.
Contraindications
Do not use if the packaging is damaged or sterility is compromised.
Not suitable for use with syringe pumps requiring higher operating pressures than 2 bar.
Not intended for reuse or re-sterilisation; reuse may lead to infection or device failure.
Use with solutions or drugs incompatible with PVC materials should be avoided or evaluated according to drug labelling and institutional guidelines.
Adverse Effects
Potential for infusion interruption or alarm conditions if kinks, occlusions or disconnections occur.
Risk of air embolism if the line is not properly primed prior to connecting to the patient.
Possible local irritation or phlebitis related to the infused drug or solution rather than the line itself.
Very rare risk of hypersensitivity reactions to PVC components in susceptible individuals.
Storage Conditions
Store in a clean, dry location at standard room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat or cold, in accordance with B. Braun’s general storage recommendations for PVC infusion disposables.
Keep in original packaging until point of use to maintain sterility.
Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of cartons to prevent damage to sterile packs or tubing.
