System and method for safely infusing toxins using extension set, connect set and cyto admin set
First Claim
1. A method for safely infusing a toxic fluid into a patient using an extension set, a connect set and a cyto admin set, the extension set comprising an extension set line, and first and second syringes, wherein the extension set line provides fluid communication between a toxic fluid container and the syringes such that toxic fluid may be moved from within the toxic fluid container into one of the syringes, the connect set comprising a connect set line in fluid communication with an infusion bag, wherein the connect set includes a port for connection with the extension set such that the syringes are in fluid communication with the infusion bag, the cyto admin set comprising one or more check valves for connection with the connect set such that the infusion bag is in fluid communication with the cyto admin set, the method comprising the steps of:
- drawing the toxic fluid from the toxic fluid container through the extension set line into the first syringe;
flushing the extension set line using fluid from the second syringe;
disconnecting the extension set from the toxic fluid container;
attaching the extension set to the connect set such that fluid communication is established therebetween;
injecting the toxic fluid from the first syringe into the infusion bag;
flushing the extension set line using fluid from the second syringe;
attaching the connect set to the cyto admin set; and
infusing the toxic fluid from the infusion bag into the patient.
