3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for proper setup of the JorVet Universal IV Set:

1. Inspect Packaging: Before use, visually inspect the sterile packaging to ensure it is intact and undamaged. Do not use if the packaging is compromised.
2. Prepare Fluid Container: Remove the protective cap from the IV fluid container's port.
3. Insert Piercing Spike: Carefully insert the piercing spike of the IV set into the port of the fluid container. The smooth surface of the spike is designed to minimize rubber abrasion during insertion.
4. Hang Fluid Container: Suspend the IV fluid container from an appropriate IV pole or hook, ensuring it is positioned above the patient.
5. Prime the Tubing:
   • Close the roller clamp completely.
   • Squeeze the drip chamber to fill it approximately halfway with fluid.
   • Slowly open the roller clamp to allow fluid to flow through the tubing, expelling all air bubbles. Ensure the entire length of the tubing is filled with fluid and free of air.
   • Close the roller clamp once priming is complete.
6. Connect to Patient: Attach the Luer connector securely to the patient's catheter or other appropriate access device.

Once the IV set is properly installed and connected, follow these guidelines for operation:

• Initiate Flow: Slowly open the roller clamp to begin fluid administration.
• Adjust Flow Rate: Use the precision roller clamp to adjust the fluid flow rate according to the prescribed dosage and patient needs. Monitor the drip chamber to ensure the desired drops per minute are achieved.
• Monitor Patient: Continuously monitor the patient for any adverse reactions or changes in condition during fluid administration.
• Monitor IV Site: Regularly check the IV insertion site for signs of swelling, redness, or discomfort.
• Air Vent Function: Ensure the bacteria-proof air vent remains unobstructed and functions correctly throughout the infusion process.
• Discontinuation: To stop the infusion, close the roller clamp completely. Disconnect the Luer connector from the patient's access device.
