IV extension set (microbore PVC, 5 bar)
Description
The BD Extension set 5 bar is a sterile, single-use IV extension line designed to extend the reach of infusion systems while maintaining safe pressure limits for syringe pumps and other IV applications. The microbore PVC tubing has a length of 154 cm, a 1 mm internal bore and a priming volume of 1.21 ml, and is equipped with one female luer connector, one male luer connector and an integrated anti-syphon valve to help reduce the risk of unintentional free flow. The tubing is lipid resistant, DEHP-free and formulated without natural rubber latex, supporting compatibility with a wide range of medications and reducing the risk of latex-related reactions. Supplied as a box of 200 extension sets for hospital and clinical use.
Bnefits
Provides 154 cm of additional IV line length to improve flexibility in patient and pump positioning.
Microbore 1 mm internal diameter helps to achieve low priming volume (1.21 ml) and accurate infusion control.
Integrated anti-syphon valve helps reduce the risk of unintended free flow when used with syringe pumps or gravity infusions.
Lipid-resistant PVC tubing supports compatibility with lipid-containing medications and parenteral nutrition solutions.
Formulated without DEHP plasticiser, reducing exposure to phthalates.
Formulated without natural rubber latex, minimising the risk of latex-related allergic reactions.
Standard male and female luer connectors enable easy integration with common IV sets and access devices.
Single-use, sterile product helps maintain high infection-prevention standards in IV therapy.
Indications
Use as an IV extension line in infusion therapy to increase distance between the patient and the infusion pump or fluid source.
Use with syringe pumps and infusion devices requiring an extension set with an integrated anti-syphon valve and 5 bar pressure rating.
Clinical hospital and outpatient environments where additional tubing length and low priming volume are required.
Situations where DEHP-free and latex-free tubing is preferred or required by institutional policy or patient history.
Connectors: 1 female luer connector; 1 male luer connector.
Valve: Integrated anti-syphon valve in line.
Plasticiser: DEHP is not part of the material formulation.
Latex: Natural rubber latex is not part of the material formulation.
Other materials: Medical-grade plastics and elastomers used for luer connectors and valve components (exact proprietary composition not publicly detailed).
Formulation
Single-use, sterile IV extension line.
Microbore tubing with 1 mm internal diameter.
Pressure rating: 5 bar (approximately 72 psi).
Designed for use with syringe pumps and standard IV infusion systems.
Box of 200 individually sterile-packed extension sets.
Each extension set configured as: length 154 cm, priming volume 1.21 ml, 1 mm bore, 1 female luer, 1 male luer, 1 anti-syphon valve.
Outer carton labelled with Becton Dickinson branding, product name, reference code PA-150-V, quantity, lot number and expiry date.
Usage
Use only by trained healthcare professionals in accordance with institutional IV therapy protocols and device instructions for use.
Inspect the sterile package before use; do not use if packaging is damaged, opened or past the expiry date.
Remove the extension set from its sterile packaging using aseptic technique.
Connect the male luer end to the IV fluid source, syringe pump line or primary administration set, ensuring a secure luer lock connection if applicable.
Connect the female luer end to the patient’s IV access device or to downstream components as required.
Prime the extension line with the prescribed IV fluid to expel air, following local protocols.
Confirm correct flow and operation of the anti-syphon valve according to device and institutional guidelines.
Monitor the infusion site and line regularly for kinks, disconnections, leaks or signs of infiltration or phlebitis.
After use, disconnect the extension set using aseptic technique and dispose of it as clinical/sharps waste according to local regulations.
Do not re-sterilise or reuse; this is a single-use device.
Contraindications
Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to PVC or any material used in the device if clinically relevant.
Not suitable for applications requiring pressure ratings above 5 bar (72 psi).
Do not use if packaging is damaged, sterility is compromised or the product is past its expiry date.
Do not use for any purpose other than as an IV extension set within an infusion system.
Adverse Effects
When used correctly, adverse effects are generally related to IV therapy in general rather than the extension set specifically.
Potential risks include infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis, infection at the IV site or air embolism if IV protocols are not followed.
Mechanical complications such as kinking, occlusion or disconnection may interrupt therapy if the line is not appropriately positioned or secured.
If any adverse event is suspected, follow institutional procedures, assess the patient and replace the line or site as clinically indicated.
Storage Conditions
Store in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Keep in original packaging until point of use to maintain sterility and protect from contamination.
Avoid crushing or sharply bending boxes to prevent damage to tubing and connectors.
Do not freeze.
Observe and comply with the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Keep out of reach of children and unauthorised personnel.
Duration
Not directly applicable; the extension set is used for the duration of an IV infusion or syringe pump therapy session as determined by clinical requirements and then discarded.
Onset
Not applicable; this product is an IV administration accessory and does not have a pharmacological onset of effect.
