INFUSION SET VENTED

Product Description

• Drip Chamber: Allows observation of the fluid dripping and helps regulate the flow rate.

• Vent: A small air inlet (usually with a hydrophobic filter) that allows sterile air to enter the container. This is crucial for use with glass bottles or rigid plastic containers that do not collapse.

• Tubing: Flexible plastic tubing that transports fluid from the container to the IV cannula.

• Roller Clamp: Allows manual control of flow rate.

• Injection Port: Used to administer additional medications.

• Connector: Attaches to the IV cannula inserted into the patients vein.

When to Use a Vented IV Set:

• With glass bottles or non-collapsible plastic containers, which need air to displace the fluid as it is infused.

• When a closed system requires controlled air entry to maintain a consistent flow.

When NOT to Use a Vented IV Set:

• With collapsible plastic bags, which do not require venting because the bag collapses as fluid is infused
