All LifeShield administration sets here are gravity-driven with a standard 15 drops/mL drip rate, sterile fluid path, and macrobore tubing for solution infusion. The single-port LifeShield Primary Administration Set (1267228) pairs 80-inch PVC tubing with a 13 mL priming volume and a pre-pierced Y-port for secondary medication access. Need a longer run and a second access point? The two-port set (1467928) runs 104 inches with a 19 mL priming volume and adds a cassette port. Both use roller and slide clamps for flow control, so staff can regulate rate at the bedside.

LifeShield extension sets bridge the catheter to the primary line and reduce disconnections at the insertion site. Choices vary by port and length: the short 7-1/4-inch set (1266028) uses a Clave male adapter plug with a low 0.8 mL priming volume — useful when minimizing fluid loss matters — while the 17-inch set (2066828) offers a Clave needleless port for clean, swabbable access. For a straightforward buffer without a port, the 30-inch set (1265628) provides added reach with a 4 mL priming volume and a slide clamp.

Priming volume matters for medication accuracy and flush efficiency, especially in pediatric or fluid-sensitive care, while the Clave connector supports needle-free access to help reduce sharps exposure. All sets ship sterile. Explore related supplies in our IV Supplies collection to complete your infusion setup.
