FAQ’s:
Why is there a spring on the V-Set?
The spring makes the wide bore or gravity link anti-kinking.
What lines can I use with the V-Set and can V-Sets be
used with needleless systems?
The two thin lines can be used for injections and infusions.
The gravity line can be used for high flow infusions. The
V-Set is designed to eliminate drug boluses and common
space. It must be connected directly to the IV cannula as
the first fitting on the cannula. It can be attached to some
needleless systems but its use this way loses some of its
advantages.
Do V-Sets restrict the flow in any way?
The thin lines are designed for injections and infusions and
do not restrict flow for these uses except when used with
infusion pumps at extremely high flow rates or extremely
low pump alarm pressures. The gravity line facilitates
maximum flow rates.
ii. With an infusion, the maximum rate depends on the
pump alarm pressure on the thin line.
What are the gauges of the lumens?
The lumen of the gravity line is 1.88mm. The lumen of the
thin line is 0.61mm.
How long can I leave a V-Set on a patient?
That depends on the hospital protocol.
What is the difference between a check valve and an
anti-reflux valve?
A check valve stops inappropriate syphoning and fluid
going back into the line. An anti-reflux valve is similar but it
has a lower pressure.
Are V-Sets MRI compatible?
No clinical problems have been reported to us with MRI
use in the last ten years (V3-3V MRI R only).
What is the maximum flow rate via the different
lumens?
i. The maximum flow rates from each lumen are
determined by the pressure of the pump or by the pressure
of the nurse’s thumb pushing on an injection syringe.
