Blood Administration Set

Key features include:

Sterile Design: Blood administration sets are sterilized to prevent contamination during the transfusion process.

Air Filter: Equipped with an air filter to trap air bubbles and prevent them from entering the patient’s bloodstream during transfusion.

Drip Chamber: Contains a drip chamber that allows healthcare professionals to visually monitor the flow rate of blood into the patient.

Clamp: Includes a clamp to regulate the flow of blood and pause the transfusion as needed.

Needle or Spike: Features a needle or spike at one end for connection to the blood bag or container.

Luer Lock Connector: Utilizes a Luer lock connector to securely attach the administration set to the patient’s intravenous (IV) line.

Y-Site or Injection Port: Some sets include a Y-site or injection port for the administration of additional medications or fluids without interrupting the blood transfusion.

Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with standard blood bags and IV tubing systems for widespread use in healthcare settings.

Latex-Free Construction: Many blood administration sets are latex-free to reduce the risk of allergic reactions in patients.

Single-Use: Typically intended for single-use only to maintain sterility and prevent cross-contamination.
