Product Overview

The Plum Y-Blood Set with Clave Connector and a 110-inch length is an essential medical device designed for the safe and efficient administration of blood and blood components, as well as concurrent IV solutions. Engineered for use with compatible infusion pumps, this sterile, single-use set ensures precise fluid delivery while prioritizing patient safety through its Non-DEHP (NDEHP) construction.

Its innovative Y-type connector facilitates the seamless addition of secondary solutions or medications, offering flexibility in patient care. The integrated clave connector provides needle-free access, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries for healthcare professionals and minimizing infection risks for patients. With its extended length, it offers versatility in various clinical settings.

Benefits of Use

• Enhanced Patient Safety: Non-DEHP material minimizes exposure to harmful plasticizers, making it safer for long-term use, especially for vulnerable patients.
• Reduced Infection Risk: Needle-free clave access helps prevent microbial contamination and reduces the incidence of needlestick injuries.
• Efficient Blood Transfusion: Specifically designed for blood administration, ensuring optimal flow rates and compatibility with blood components.
• Versatile Fluid Delivery: Y-connector allows for simultaneous administration of blood products and other IV solutions, streamlining complex infusion regimens.
• Precision Infusion: Compatible with infusion pumps, ensuring accurate and controlled delivery of fluids.
• Extended Reach: The 110-inch tubing length provides ample reach and flexibility for patient positioning and equipment setup.

How to Use

1. Prepare: Gather all necessary equipment, including the blood product, compatible IV solution (e.g., normal saline), infusion pump, and patient access device.
2. Inspect: Carefully inspect the Plum Y-Blood Set for any damage, kinks, or foreign particles. Ensure the packaging is intact and sterile.
3. Connect Blood Product: Close all clamps on the tubing. Spike the blood product bag with the appropriate spike on the set.
4. Connect IV Solution (if needed): If a secondary IV solution is required, spike the IV bag with the secondary spike on the Y-connector.
5. Prime the Set: Slowly open the roller clamp to allow fluid to flow through the tubing, expelling all air. Ensure the drip chamber is properly filled. Close the clamp once fully primed.
6. Connect to Patient: Swab the patient's needle-free connector (e.g., IV catheter hub) with an antiseptic wipe and allow it to dry. Connect the primed blood set to the patient's access device.
7. Program Infusion Pump: Insert the tubing into the compatible infusion pump according to the manufacturer's instructions. Program the pump with the prescribed infusion rate and volume.
8. Initiate Infusion: Open the clamps and start the infusion pump. Monitor the patient and the infusion site closely throughout the procedure.
9. Discard Safely: After use, close all clamps, disconnect the set from the patient, and dispose of the entire set as biohazardous waste according to institutional policy.

Caution & Warnings

• For Single Use Only: Do not re-sterilize or reuse. Reuse may lead to infection or malfunction.
• Sterile Product: Do not use if the sterile package is opened or damaged.
• Professional Use: This device should only be used by trained healthcare professionals.
• Inspect Before Use: Visually inspect for particulate matter, damage, or leaks prior to use.
• Air Embolism: Ensure all air is removed from the tubing before connecting to the patient to prevent air embolism.
• Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with the infusion pump and patient access device being used.
• Blood Product Handling: Follow established protocols for blood product administration, including patient identification and monitoring for transfusion reactions.
• Proper Disposal: Dispose of all contaminated materials in accordance with local and national regulations for biohazardous waste.
