Applicable groups of precision infusion sets

Jun 14, 2022

Since the 1990s, disposable ordinary infusion sets have been widely used for intravenous infusion in China. Due to their low price and simple operation, they have the advantages of eliminating iatrogenic cross infection, and have completely replaced the past rubber infusion tubes in clinic. However, the pore diameter of the filter medium of the infusion set used in China is generally 15 microns, and it has little interception effect on the particles with a diameter of less than 15 microns, while the particles larger than 10 microns account for only about 1% in the liquid medicine, and the particles smaller than 10 microns account for about 98%. Adverse reactions and long-term effects of infusion are inevitable. In order to meet clinical needs and avoid or reduce the harm caused by particles to patients, the world medical organization has launched a precision filter infusion set, which has been widely accepted by the pharmaceutical industry in advanced countries.

According to the manufacturing process, infusion sets are divided into precision infusion sets and ordinary syringes, and habitually, people like to use precision infusion sets for treatment. So, who are precision infusion sets suitable for? Let's have a look!

1. Infant patients - blood vessels are thinner than adults, and their own immunity is low. The reactions caused by particles and the harm caused to them are also more serious. Safe infusion should start with infants;

2. Chemotherapy patients - clinical experiments have confirmed that if the chemotherapy drugs are filtered with a precision filter, the occurrence of phlebitis can be basically alleviated or even relieved;

3. Infusion of traditional Chinese medicine and fat emulsion patients - the use of precision filter infusion device can greatly alleviate the adverse reactions of infusion caused by traditional Chinese medicine or fat emulsion;

4. Critically ill patients, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, patients with various chronic diseases, and elderly patients are usually accompanied by vascular sclerosis, wall thickening, lumen stenosis and other diseases, and the impact of particles on them is more serious than that of ordinary patients.
