Cyto-Set® Pump Adapter

B. Braun of Canada
Cyto-Set® Pump Adapter

Adapter for the application of cytostatics for connection to I.V. administration set. For infusion by compatible pumps.

Single-use, sterile infusion system for the preparation and administration of different cytotoxic drugs via one single closed line-system by gravity or pressure with bottles and bags according to the SPC (Summary of product characteristics) of the drugs/ solutions. Cyto-Set® is used for the application of cytotoxic agents in a closed system.

 The Cyto-Set® system reduces the probability of contamination of person and environment when preparing and applying cytotoxic drugs ensured by its technical components forming a closed system and the resulting workflow.

Cyto-Set® Pump Adapter

Adapter for the application of cytostatics for connection to I.V. administration set. For infusion by compatible pumps.

The pump adapter enables the use of other infusion pump systems.

Cyto-Set® can be used for all patients to whom cytotoxic drugs are prescribed in hospitals. Depending on the particular therapeutical concept and sensibility of the tumor to one or more cytotoxic agents the administration of these drugs represents an important role besides surgery and radiation therapy.

Advantages

Chemical Contamination

  • Needle-free valve: Helps to reduce the risk of chemical contamination as the valves are designed for preventing spillage / drug exposure1

Microbiological Contamination

  • Finger stopper and finger grip: Reduction of microbial contamination due to the finger stopper and finger grip.2
  • Needle-free valve: Provides easy access, while helping to reduce the chance of accidental touch contamination.2
  • Air vent filter in the spike: The bacteria tight air vent filter in the spike reduces the contamination risk of the infusion solution.3

Drug Incompatibility

  • Grip plate with integrated back check valves: Integrated back check valves enables an improved safety standard and less risk of unmeant mixture of drugs due to the prevention of reflux.4

Sharps Injury

  • Needle-free valve: Provides needle-free access, while eliminating the risk of needlestick injuries.5, 6

Medication Error

  • Structure of the regime: Due to the 90° angle of the valves in the grip plate, the whole Cyto-Set® regime is structured well, which reduces the risk of mistaking the drugs within the therapy. 7
