Patent ID: 11058813

Abstract:
An intravenous (IV) set system comprising a primary IV set having a plurality of access points facilitating access to one or more fluid pathways of the primary IV set, and an IV extension set removably coupled to the primary IV set to form an extended primary IV set, the IV extension set comprising an extension flow line defining an extension flow path, and a plurality of access ports on the extension flow line, at least two of the access ports comprising access ports located between first and second ends of the IV extension set. The IV set system further comprises a bypass manifold externally and removably coupled to the extension flow line of the IV extension set via the intermediate access ports on the extension flow line, the bypass manifold comprising a bypass flow line adjacent the extension flow line, and one or more access points that facilitate access to the bypass flow line, wherein the bypass manifold and the bypass flow line are operable to provide a bypass flow path through the IV extension so.
