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 />

Clamp to Close the Tubing<br />
