1. A device for organizing an IV administration set, the device comprising:
- a planar organizing surface on which an IV administration set is supported in a desired configurationwherein a first portion of the unprimed IV administration set is supported in a priming configuration direction, wherein a first portion of the unprimed IV administration set is oriented for a downward flow, and a second portion of the unprimed IV administration set is oriented for an upward flow, a transition portion of the unprimed IV administration set being positioned between the first and second portions; and
a plurality of retaining mechanism each having a planar portion comprising a cut-out portion of the organizing surface, the retaining mechanisms planar portion having a first position within a plane of the organizing surface and a second position outside of the plane of the organizing surface, the retaining mechanisms being positioned and oriented on the organizing surface to support the IV administration set in the desired configuration.

Abstract
A device having a surface on which an intravenous administration set is organized and temporarily retained in a desired configuration to prevent undesirable tangling during setup of the set. The device further includes a plurality of clips to retain various components of the intravenous administration set in a desired orientation to improve priming of the components. The intravenous administration set is released from the device by pulling a terminal end of the set in a direction away from the device.

10. A device for storing an IV administration, the device comprising:
-
an organizing surface on which an unprimed IV administration set is supported in a priming configuration, wherein a first portion of the unprimed IV administration set is oriented for a downward flow, and a second portion of the unprimed IV administration set is oriented for an upward flow, a transition portion of the unprimed IV administration set being positioned between the first and second portions; and a plurality of retaining mechanisms each comprising a cut-out portion of the organizing surface, a first retaining mechanism of the plurality of retaining mechanisms having a first orientation for supporting the first portion of the unprimed IV administration set for the downward flow, a second retaining mechanism of the plurality of retaining mechanisms having a second orientation for supporting the second portion of the unprimed IV administration set for the upward flow, and a third retaining mechanism of the plurality of retaining mechanisms having a third orientation for supporting the transition portion of the unprimed IV administration set, wherein the third orientation is transverse to the first and second orientations; and a plurality of retaining mechanism each having a planar portion comprising a cut-out portion of the organizing surface, the retaining mechanism planar portion having a first position within a plane of the organizing surface and a second position outside of the plane of the organizing surface, the retaining mechanisms being positioned and oriented on the organizing surface to support the IV administration set in a desired configuration.
