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
- Extends infusion lines to allow manipulation away from the injection site
- Enables needle-free infusion, aspiration and intermittent injection via Safeflow valve
- Small-bore tubing with low internal volume, suitable for paediatric and neonate patients
- Rotating Luer-lock connector allows safer, more convenient connection without twisting the tube
- Integrated back-check valve helps prevent backflow of blood and fluids during parallel infusions
- Neutrapur tubing with no leachable plasticizers, DEHP-free and patient-friendly
- Supports maintenance of aseptic technique when changing IV administration sets
- Pressure-resistant design suitable for standard infusion therapy
Indications
- Extension of intravenous infusion lines for patients receiving IV therapy
- Frequent connection and disconnection for aspiration and intermittent injection without needles
- Situations where manipulation away from the IV insertion site is desired
- Use in adult, paediatric and neonate patients requiring IV infusion therapy

Packaging
- Box of 100 individually sterile-packed Safeflow extension sets
- 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).
