[New intravenous infusion: another step forward in patient safety].
We describe a new intravenous infusion (Intrafix SafeSet) with a number of improvements over conventional equipment designed to increase patient safety and simplify the work of nursing. Its design incorporates a special filter in the drip chamber that prevents air entry into the computer and into the bloodstream after exhaustion of fluid infusion. As a result, reduces the risk of air embolism, limiting the manipulations on the circuit and reduces the risk of contamination and infection. The presence of another filter at the distal part prevents fluid leakage during the priming process, enabling the automatic execution of it.
