An infusion set is a sterile medical device used to deliver fluids, medications, electrolytes, blood products, or nutrients directly into a patient’s body through intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous pathways in a controlled manner. It is essential for intravenous therapy in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings.
Medical device — used under healthcare supervision.
Infusion sets are used by trained healthcare professionals and are not self-administered without medical instruction. They are not “prescribed” like medicines but must be used as part of clinician-directed intravenous therapy.
Medical device — intravenous infusion/administration set used for controlled delivery of solutions and medications.
No active pharmaceutical ingredients. Infusion sets are devices, not drugs.
They are composed of medical-grade materials such as PVC, PE, ABS, polypropylene, nylon, silicone, etc., designed to be inert and safe for contact with fluids and body tissues.
Infusion sets come in several variants depending on clinical needs:
Standard IV infusion set (gravity feed).
Burette infusion set (with a measuring chamber).
Y-set / multi-limb sets (for multiple fluids).
Pump-compatible sets for controlled infusion devices.
Variants may differ by tube length, connectors (Luer lock or slip), filters, injection ports, and presence of flow regulators.
Medical device — external (non-oral) use.
Designed to connect an IV fluid source (bag or bottle) to a venous or subcutaneous access (catheter/needle). It is not consumed like a medicine.
These devices are set up and used only by trained clinicians or under their direction:
Sterile preparation: Unpack the set and maintain sterility.
Connect the spike to the fluid container.
Prime the tubing (fill with fluid to remove air).
Attach to the patient’s catheter/needle.
Adjust flow using a roller clamp or pump settings.
Monitor the infusion site and fluid administration throughout therapy.
Infusion sets are typically single-use, sterile, and disposable after one session.
As a device, side effects are not like drugs, but risks/complications include:
Infection or inflammation at the insertion site if aseptic technique is not maintained.
Phlebitis (vein irritation).
Air embolism if air enters the tubing.
Infiltration or extravasation (fluid leaking into surrounding tissue).
Clot formation or occlusion of the line.
These outcomes are prevented with proper technique, monitoring, and timely set changes.
Sterile sealed pouch or blister pack.
Many infusion sets come individually packaged (single unit) for aseptic use.
Some come in outer cartons containing multiple sterile pouches.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Keep in original packaging until use to maintain sterility.
Do not open until needed for IV therapy.
Observe expiry date and integrity of the seal.
Use only under healthcare supervision.
Maintain sterility — do not touch sterile parts with unclean hands or surfaces.
Change the set at recommended intervals (often every 72–96 hours depending on clinical protocol).
Monitor the site for redness, swelling, pain, or leakage.
Avoid introducing air bubbles into the line.
Dispose of used sets as biohazard sharps/waste according to medical waste protocols.
Infusion sets are generally equivalent medical devices — substitutes include:
Alternative sterile IV sets with similar connectors and specifications.
Sets with Y-sites or injection ports for additional medication entry.
Pump-compatible sets for infusion pumps.
Substitutes are chosen based on hospital needs and clinician preference.
Infusion sets are manufactured by numerous medical device companies (varies by region). Examples of manufacturers include:
Qinkai Group — infusion sets with CE/ISO certification.
Many others supply disposable IV sets globally for hospitals.
Varies by brand and supplier (commonly China, Europe, USA, India, etc.).
