The B Braun Sangofix is a vented blood administration set for the administration of blood and blood components stored in glass bottles for gravity administration
The device can be used for all patients for which infusion therapy is prescribed. Sangofix can be used for adults, paediatric and neonate patients
The blood filter with 11 cm2 surface area helps to prevent particulate contamination by retaining particles >200 μm and consequently helps to avoid transfusion of blood clots and cellular debris resulting from storage
During a laboratory test, Sangofix with a filter surface of 11 cm2 was used to successively administer 10 erythrocyte concentrates while providing a higher flow rate than required by ISO 1135-4
The blood administration set has a clear, vented piercing spike with sharp tip for use with glass bottles
Its fully transparent dome offers visibility for a constant visual monitoring of flow rate
Its elastic pump chamber allows easy and quick set-up of fluid level
The blood transfusion set has a bacteria-tight air vent, closable with handy snap cap
The BT set features a screw tight Luer Lock patient connector which helps to avoid accidental disconnection which could lead to microbiological contamination
The blood administration set comes with a needle size of 18G with a needle length of 1.5 inch
The latex free BT set is pressure resistant up to 400 mm Hg. (approx. 0.5 bar)
