The described set is a \u003cstrong\u003eprimary gravity IV set\u003c\/strong\u003e with ~103 inches (≈262 cm) of PVC tubing, calibrated for \u003cstrong\u003e20 drops = 1 mL\u003c\/strong\u003e (“20 gtt\/mL”). It has \u003cstrong\u003eone needleless injection port (Y-site)\u003c\/strong\u003e near the patient end for drug\/infusion access, and a built-in \u003cstrong\u003eroller (pinch) clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e for flow shut-off. Notably, it is specified “without filter” and “without flow regulator,” meaning it has \u003cstrong\u003eno inline filter\u003c\/strong\u003e (e.g. 0.2 μm) and no special dial-regulator – flow is controlled only by the clamp and bag height. Key features include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrip Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 drops\/mL (macrodrip). In a macrodrip set, 20 drops of fluid equal 1 mL. (By contrast, pediatric “microdrip” sets use 60 gtt\/mL for finer control.) At 20 gtt\/mL, one can calculate flow by drops\/min = (mL\/hr × 20) ÷ 60.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubing \u0026amp; Priming Volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e Total length ≈103″ (about 262 cm). The long tubing gives a large dead volume: priming (the fluid needed to fill the line and purge air) is roughly \u003cstrong\u003e30 mL\u003c\/strong\u003e. (Priming volume is defined as the fluid required to fill the entire IV tubing and remove air.) A priming volume of ~30 mL means you must flush ~30 mL through before the line is fully primed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInjection Port:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 port (needle-free Y-site) on the tubing, typically placed several inches from the patient end. This single Y-type port allows IV medication or fluids to be added via a syringe or secondary line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpike\/Connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard \u003cstrong\u003enon-vented spike\u003c\/strong\u003e to puncture an IV bag (used with collapsible bags). The distal end has a Luer-lock connector (usually female) to attach to the patient’s IV catheter or extension. (The listing notes a “male Luer Lock connector[hip]” on one end, which refers to the type of adapter in the set.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e A manual roller (pinch) clamp on the tubing provides on\/off control. There is \u003cstrong\u003eno additional flow regulator\u003c\/strong\u003e (the product spec explicitly says “without flow regulator”). Thus, flows are adjusted by bag height and clamp adjustments, not by a calibrated dial.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNone.\u003c\/strong\u003e The set is specified “without filter”, so it contains no inline microfilter. (Some special sets include 0.2 μm or 15 μm filters for blood\/TPN; not in this case.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medical-grade PVC tubing (explicitly \u003cstrong\u003eDEHP-free, latex-free\u003c\/strong\u003e). Many IV sets are now made without phthalates (DEHP) or natural rubber latex for safety. The Henry Schein description of a similar set reads: “PVC tubing… DEHP Free… Sterile… Not Made With Natural Rubber Latex”. This set is provided \u003cstrong\u003esterile\u003c\/strong\u003e in individual packaging and is \u003cstrong\u003edisposable (single-use)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePriming \u0026amp; Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Before connection to the patient, the line must be primed to eliminate air. The priming volume (~30 mL) is printed on the label. In practice, you spike the IV bag, fill the drip chamber ~1\/3 full, clamp the tubing, and flush fluid through until all air is out. Then attach the patient-end connector. To begin infusion, open the roller clamp. Flow is monitored by counting drops (20 drops = 1 mL) and adjusting as needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsage and Operation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is intended for \u003cstrong\u003egravity IV infusion\u003c\/strong\u003e of fluids\/medications in adults or larger children. Hang the IV bag above patient level, spike the bag with the set’s non-vented spike, then prime the tubing as above (keep clamp closed until primed to avoid air embolus). After connecting to the patient’s catheter, open the clamp to start flow. Since there’s no regulator, adjust infusion by changing the clamp position and bag height. For example, to deliver 60 mL\/hr with a 20 gtt\/mL set, aim for 20 drops per minute (60 mL\/hr × 20 gtt\/mL ÷ 60). The single Y-injection port allows IV piggyback or syringe injections at the patient end. (Because the tubing is relatively large and has a long dead space, any drug pushed into the line must traverse or fill about 30 mL of tubing before reaching the patient.) Always verify the drop rate and clamp function regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety and Related Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all primary IV sets, this product is supplied sterile and for \u003cstrong\u003esingle use only\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged. Being DEHP- and latex-free, it reduces the risk of plasticizer exposure and latex allergy issues. Confirm that the clamp is fully closed when not infusing to prevent leaks or air entry. Ensure all connections (spike, Luer locks) are secure. Because it has \u003cstrong\u003eno inline filter\u003c\/strong\u003e, use this set only when filtering is not required (e.g. routine IV fluids). Finally, after use the set should be discarded per biohazard protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e A “Gravity, 1 Port, 20 gtt\/mL, 103″ tubing, without filter, without regulator” IV set is a short primary infusion line with one needle-free Y-port, macrodrip calibration, and a simple roller clamp. It holds about 30 mL when primed, contains DEHP-free PVC tubing, and is used to infuse IV fluids safely by gravity (with flows set by drop count and clamp position).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MedStream","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53746956927344,"sku":"MS719P","price":2.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0350\/files\/IV-Administration-Set-Gravity-1-Port-20-Drops-Drip-Rate-MS719P-MedStream.jpg?v=1778676105","url":"https:\/\/www.mountainside-medical.com\/products\/iv-administration-set-gravity-1-port-20-drops-drip-rate-without-filter-103-inch-tubing-without-flow-regulator","provider":"Mountainside Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
