IV Extension Sets
Description
The B. Braun Safeflow Extension Set with Safeflow valve is a small-bore infusion extension line with a needle-free valve, designed to extend infusion lines via a Luer or Luer-lock connection. The 10 cm Neutrapur tubing has a small internal diameter to minimise dead space, making it suitable for adults, paediatric and neonate patients. The set is DEHP-free, with the Safeflow single extension set also PVC-free, and incorporates a rotating Luer-lock connector for easy, twist-free attachment. An integrated back-check valve helps prevent backflow of blood and fluids, supporting safe parallel pressure and gravity infusions. Each device is supplied sterile and intended for single use.
Bnefits

Each unit: 10 cm small-bore tubing with Safeflow valve and rotating Luer-lock connector
Usage
Use only if the sterile package is intact and within the stated shelf life.
Maintain aseptic technique when opening the package and handling the extension set.
Connect the rotating Luer-lock connector to the IV catheter or infusion system, ensuring a secure connection.
Prime the extension line with the prescribed infusion solution to remove air before connecting to the patient.
Use the Safeflow needle-free valve for infusion, aspiration and intermittent injection in accordance with local protocols.
Avoid excessive pressure beyond the manufacturer’s recommended limits during infusion.
After use, disconnect in accordance with local infection control policies and dispose of the device as clinical sharps/waste.
Single-use only; do not resterilize or reuse.
Contraindications
Do not use if the packaging is damaged or the sterility has been compromised.
Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to any materials in the device if identified by the manufacturer.
Not intended for use outside standard intravenous infusion therapy unless specifically authorised by a clinician.
Avoid use where the added line resistance or dead space may compromise critical high-flow or high-pressure infusions, according to clinical judgement.
Adverse Effects
Potential risk of infection or sepsis if aseptic technique is not followed.
Risk of air embolism if the line is not properly primed prior to connection.
Possible extravasation or infiltration if connected to a malpositioned IV catheter.
Potential for leakage or disconnection if Luer connections are not properly secured.
General risks associated with intravenous infusion therapy as per clinical practice.
Storage Conditions
Store in original packaging until use.
Keep in a clean, dry environment at room temperature.
Protect from excessive heat, freezing and direct sunlight.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Duration
Single-use device; used for the duration of an individual infusion therapy episode as clinically indicated.
Onset
Not applicable (mechanical infusion line extension device).
