The sterile, DEHP-free INFINEED 3-way infusion set with non-return valve has been designed to minimize its environmental impact, using only DEHP-free raw materials (eliminating components containing DEHP). The polycarbonate-free 3-way stopcock has been tested at pressures well in excess of those recommended for gravity infusion; laboratory tests have shown a pressure resistance of around 10 bar. The non-return valve is a one-way valve which acts as a safety device (particularly when combining gravity and pressure infusion) by preventing any backflow of solution into the bag or vial. It has a pressure resistance of 3 bar in the patient-to-solute direction. Contact with 0.5% or 2% Chlorhexidine in 70° Isopropyl alcohol, without evaporation time, and with the luer lock connected, therefore under physical stress, presents a significant risk of luer lock cracking, and should be avoided wherever possible. In line with SF2H (2019) recommendations, disinfecting connectors (when necessary) with 70° ethyl alcohol is always preferable, as it is just as effective at disinfecting inert materials and with much less risk of altering plastics.
Perforator available:

- End cap: Luer Lock mobile.
- End cap: 1µm purge filter with antibacterial membrane.
- Bisphenol A-free 3V tap.
- Polycarbonate and silicone non-return valve.
Tube dead volume: 11.39ml.
Chamber dead volume: 3.52ml.
Indications
This device enables gravity administration of injectable parenteral preparations such as drugs, solutions and parenteral nutrition.
It is particularly recommended for mixed mechanical and gravity infusion: the non-return valve must be fitted to the gravity line.
Gravity infusion set, not to be used for pressurized infusion, notably injection of contrast media. Not to be used for transfusion, not to be used for drugs requiring a 0.2µm filter.
To disinfect connections, use 70° alcohol, which is highly compatible. Caregivers are increasingly using chlorhexidine 2% in 70% isopropyl alcohol. This type of solution is known to be very aggressive to plastics.
For this reason, Didactic conducted laboratory tests on the contact of connections with this type of disinfectant.
The results showed that the connections were fairly resistant to this composition when in relatively short contact (less than 1min) with a swab soaked in disinfectant solution without excess (1 to 2ml per swab).
