Preparing <strong>Med</strong>ication for Infusion/Changing IV Bags<br />
When using an IV bag, grasp the bag<br />
spike firmly in one hand and the IV bag<br />
spike-port in the other, and insert the<br />
spike completely into the port using<br />
aseptic technique.<br />
Holding the bag with<br />
fill ports down allows<br />
fluid to fill tubing and<br />
displace the air in the<br />
line. Be sure all air has<br />
been removed from the<br />
IV bag as well.<br />
Air in the line moves down through<br />
the tubing as the fluid fills.<br />
OPEN<br />
CLOSED<br />
In these illustrations,<br />
the slide clamps are<br />
shown in their open and<br />
closed states.<br />
Notice the breakaway tab on the<br />
“Integral Flow-Stop” has been<br />
removed. The set can be gravity<br />
primed by intentionally squeezing<br />
the “Integral Flow-Stop” and thus<br />
releasing the clamping action. ( See<br />
Figures 2.5 & 2.6 )<br />
