Shifa IV Drip Set – Sterile Infusion Giving Set for Safe Fluid Administration

Description

The Shifa IV Drip Set is a sterile, single-use, medical infusion set designed for the controlled administration of intravenous fluids, medications, and electrolytes. It is manufactured using medical-grade, non-toxic, and pyrogen-free materials to ensure patient safety. With an air vent and precision drip chamber, this IV set ensures accurate fluid delivery while reducing risks of air embolism.

How To Use

1. Wash and disinfect hands.

2. Inspect IV set for sterility and packaging integrity.

3. Spike the IV fluid bottle/bag using the sterile spike.

4. Squeeze and fill the drip chamber halfway.

5. Prime the tubing by allowing fluid to pass through until air bubbles are expelled.

6. Connect the distal end to an IV cannula.

7. Adjust flow rate using the roller clamp.

8. Secure the tubing to avoid kinking and monitor infusion regularly.

When Not to Use

• If the packaging is damaged or sterility is compromised.

• Do not reuse – single-use device only.

• Not suitable for non-IV routes of administration.

Side Effects

• Device-related risks are minimal but may include:

  • Air embolism (if not primed properly)

  • Phlebitis or infiltration (due to cannula, not drip set itself)

  • Infection (if aseptic precautions not followed)

Precautions & Warnings

• For single use only – never reuse or resterilize.

• Must be handled by trained healthcare professionals.

• Always ensure proper priming to prevent air bubbles.

• Dispose immediately after use to avoid cross-contamination.

Drug Interactions

• None (medical device only).

Storage / Disposal

• Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and heat.

• Keep in original sealed packaging until use.

• Dispose of used sets in a biohazard waste container.

Control Drug / Prescription Status

• Medical Device – Hospital/Clinic Supply (not a controlled substance).

Quick Tips

• Always check for air bubbles before connecting to patient.

• Use a new sterile IV set for each patient to reduce infection risk.

• For blood transfusion, ensure a blood transfusion set is used instead of a standard IV drip set.

• Match drip set (macro or micro) to prescribed therapy requirements.
