FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Q: What is the intended use of this light-protective IV set?
A: It is indicated for gravity infusion of light-sensitive drugs including levofloxacin, lipoic acid, cyclophosphamide, oxaliplatin, nimustine, cisplatin, docetaxel, ranitidine, pantoprazole, vitamin C, and paclitaxel. It protects these drugs from light degradation during administration.Q: What makes this infusion set DEHP-free?
A: All fluid-contact parts (inner layer of tubing and dropper) are made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which does not contain DEHP or other phthalates. The outer layer is PVC with light-absorbing agent, but it does not contact the fluid.Q: What is the light-protection performance?
A: For the wavelength range of 290-450nm, the light transmittance is: tubing ≤ 15%, dropper ≤ 35%. This effectively blocks UV and visible light that can degrade photosensitive medications.Q: Which drugs can be used with this set?
A: It is specifically validated for levofloxacin, lipoic acid, cyclophosphamide, oxaliplatin, nimustine, cisplatin, docetaxel, ranitidine, pantoprazole, vitamin C, and paclitaxel. For other light-sensitive drugs, compatibility should be verified.Q: What are the available filter options?
A: The set can be equipped with either a standard medication filter (15 μm pore size) or precision medication filters (2 μm, 3 μm, or 5 μm pore sizes) to meet different clinical requirements.Q: What materials are used in this product?
A: Main materials include TPU (fluid-contact surfaces), medical PVC (outer layer), medical PP, medical ABS, and SUS304 stainless steel (needle tube). All materials are medical grade and biocompatible.Q: Is the product sterile?
A: Yes, it is sterilized by ethylene oxide (EO) and is guaranteed sterile and pyrogen-free for single use.Q: What is the shelf life?
A: The shelf life is 5 years from the date of sterilization, provided the packaging remains intact and stored properly.Q: Does this set contain any harmful substances?
A: No. It is free from phthalates (DEHP, etc.), vinyl chloride monomer, and other potentially harmful additives. This prevents leaching of toxic substances into the infusion fluid.Q: Can this set be used with an infusion pump?
A: No, it is limited to gravity infusion only. Do not use with mechanical infusion pumps unless specifically validated.Q: What is the wavelength range for light protection?
A: The product provides protection in the 290-450nm range, covering both UV and visible light that can cause photodegradation of many drugs.Q: What components are included in the set?
A: The complete set includes: stopper puncture device, protective sleeve, air inlet device, stopcock, dropper, tubing, flow regulator, injection port, medication filter, external conical connector with protective sleeve, and an intravenous infusion needle.Q: Is this product compatible with standard IV containers?
A: Yes, the stopper puncture device is designed to fit standard infusion bottles and bags with rubber stoppers.Q: How should this product be stored?
A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep in original packaging until use to maintain sterility.Q: Is the product latex-free?
A: Yes, all components are latex-free, making it safe for patients with latex allergies.Q: What quality certifications apply?
A: The product is manufactured in full compliance with ISO13485 quality management systems, ensuring consistent quality and safety.Q: Can the length of the tubing be customized?
A: Yes, tubing length can be customized according to customer requirements. Please contact us for custom specifications.Q: Does the flow regulator allow precise control?
A: Yes, the flow regulator (roller clamp) enables smooth and accurate adjustment of infusion rate.Q: Is there an injection port for additional medication?
A: Yes, the set includes an injection port (Y-site) with a latex-free septum for adding medication during infusion.Q: What is the advantage of TPU over PVC?
A: TPU does not require plasticizers like DEHP, eliminating the risk of plasticizer leaching into the patient. It also offers excellent clarity and mechanical properties.
