Volumat Lines 13.1 Preparing the Administration Set and the Fluid Container Agilia Volumat Lines are supplied sterile and are indicated for single use. 1. Prepare the fluid container according to your healthcare facility’s protocol. 2. Select a Volumat Line. 3. Check the container, the line and access device integrity.
Page 92
Precautions for the use of administration sets Use administration sets which have the smallest internal volume or “deadspace” to minimize residual volumes when administering medications or fluids at low infusion rates (e.g., less than 5mL per hour, and especially flow rates less than 0.5 mL per hour). This reduces the amount of time it takes for fluid to reach the patient, maintains delivery accuracy, and reduces occlusion detection times.
Page 93
13.2.1 With a Bag The following diagram shows how to prime the administration set with a bag: 1. Remove the cap from the spike and insert the spike into the bag. 2. After hanging the bag, close the roller clamp. 3.
Page 94
13.3 Other Uses of Administration Sets 13.3.1 Access Ports The administration set may be equipped with access ports, that can be used to connect a gravity line, a secondary line, or administer a manual bolus (needle-free port). Legend Upstream port (before the pump) Downstream port (after the pump)
Page 95
13.3.2 Use of Administration Sets for Gravity Infusion 13.3.2.1 Gravity Infusion (without pump) In order to use the administration set to infuse the contents of the fluid container via gravity, without the pump, release the SafeClip as follows: 1. Close the roller clamp. 2.
Page 96
Information Fresenius Kabi recommends the use of a back check valve or positive pressure infusion devices when an infusion on the pump is connected to a gravity line. This will prevent the back-up of IV fluid or medication into the gravity line.
Device Storage 14.1 Precautions for Storage Handle the device with care during storage. Store the device in a cool, dry place. The storage area must be clean and organized. Clean and disinfect the device prior to storage.
