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.

Composition

  • Tubing material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), lipid resistant.
  • Internal bore: 1 mm microbore tubing.
  • 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.
  • Non-pyrogenic, DEHP-free, latex-free construction.

Packaging

  • 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.
