Blood administration set with burette
Description
The Buretrol Blood Administration Set (Single) is a disposable IV blood administration set incorporating a 150 ml burette and flexible double drip chamber for controlled blood and fluid delivery. It includes a 200 ml filter section with a Y-injection site and a rotary male luer with hydrophobic cap. The upper section of the drip chamber contains a 150–200 µm filter to help retain particulate matter, supporting safer transfusion practice in clinical settings.
Bnefits
- Integrated 150 ml burette allows accurate measurement and controlled delivery of blood and IV fluids, particularly useful in paediatric and critical care settings.
- Flexible double drip chamber design supports visual monitoring of drip rate and fluid flow.
- 200 ml filter section with 150–200 µm filter in the upper drip chamber helps remove particulate matter from blood or fluids.
- Y-injection site enables the addition of compatible medications or fluids into the line when clinically indicated.
- Rotary male luer with hydrophobic cap provides secure connection to venous access devices and helps reduce the risk of leakage and air entry.
- Supplied as a single complete administration set, simplifying stock management and setup for individual transfusion episodes.
- Compatible with standard hospital IV equipment and workflows for blood administration.
Indications
- Administration of blood and blood components using an IV infusion system where a burette is required for controlled volume delivery.
- Situations requiring precise measurement and limitation of transfused volume (e.g. paediatric, neonatal or fluid-restricted patients), as determined by clinical protocols.
- Hospital, theatre, critical care, emergency and ward settings where blood transfusion and closely controlled fluid administration are performed.
Composition
- Intravenous administration set incorporating a 150 ml transparent burette body and flexible tubing (polymer materials typical of IV sets; exact material composition not specified in retailer descriptions).
- Double drip chamber assembly with upper section containing a 150–200 µm filter.
- Y-injection site integrated into the set for medication or fluid addition.
- Rotary male luer connector with hydrophobic cap for secure connection to vascular access devices.
- Fluid path components designed for single-patient use in blood and IV fluid administration (detailed material specifications not listed in available product descriptions).
Formulation
- Non-medicated, non-pharmacological single-use IV administration set for blood and fluid delivery (device accessory).
Packaging
- Supplied as a single blood administration set ("Single" pack size as described by retailers).
- Individually packaged unit suitable for use as a standalone blood administration line; specific sterility and packaging material details are not explicitly stated in the retailer listings reviewed.
Usage
- Use only by trained healthcare professionals in accordance with local transfusion and IV therapy protocols.
- Inspect the packaging and set before use; do not use if the packaging is damaged, opened, or if any component appears damaged or contaminated.
- Prepare the blood product or IV fluid according to institutional procedures, verifying patient identity and product compatibility before administration.
- Close all clamps on the administration set before spike insertion.
- Insert the spike of the administration set into the blood bag or IV fluid container using aseptic technique.
- Fill the burette to the desired volume (up to 150 ml) by opening the relevant clamp and allowing fluid to run into the burette, then close the clamp once the required volume is reached.
- Gently tap and prime the drip chamber and filter section, allowing fluid to displace air, in accordance with local procedures, ensuring the filter and downstream tubing are fully primed.
- Connect the rotary male luer to the patient’s vascular access device securely.
- Adjust the drip rate using the roller clamp or other flow control device as per clinical requirements and monitor the patient and infusion closely during use.
- If using the Y-injection site to add compatible medications or fluids, follow institutional policies for injection ports, including disinfection of the port and verification of compatibility.
- Dispose of the set, remaining blood, and consumables as clinical waste after single use, following local infection prevention and sharps/biohazard disposal policies.
Contraindications
- Do not use if the outer packaging is damaged, opened, or shows signs of contamination.
- Do not use for applications other than blood and IV fluid administration as directed by institutional protocols.
- Do not reuse or resterilise; intended for single use only.
- Do not use if any component of the line (burette, filter, tubing, connectors) is visibly damaged, discoloured or occluded.
Adverse Effects
- Potential complications are those associated with IV blood and fluid administration in general, such as infiltration, phlebitis, transfusion reactions, and air embolism if not used correctly; these depend on clinical use rather than the administration set alone.
- Improper priming, setup or use could theoretically contribute to air entry, under-delivery or over-delivery of fluids if standard IV administration procedures are not followed.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a clean, dry environment at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Keep in original packaging until use to maintain cleanliness and integrity of the set.
- Avoid crushing or bending the packaging to prevent damage to the burette, drip chamber and tubing.
- Keep out of reach of unauthorised persons and children.
