Evaluation of a prototype air-venting inline intravenous filter set

R Rapp, B Bivins, H Schroeder

    American Journal of Hospital Pharmacy
    |December 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study evaluated an inline intravenous filter with an air-elimination system. The filter performed well with some antibiotics but showed reduced flow with others, though the air-elimination feature was effective.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Pharmaceutical Science
    • Clinical Engineering

    Background:

    • Intravenous (IV) therapy requires effective filtration to prevent particle and microbial contamination.
    • Inline filters are crucial for maintaining fluid purity during IV administration.
    • Existing filters may face challenges with specific drug formulations or air management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a prototype inline intravenous final filter featuring a large filtration area and an air-elimination system.
    • To assess the filter's performance with different antibiotic solutions and its air-handling capabilities.
    • To determine the clinical acceptability of the filter among healthcare professionals.

    Main Methods:

    • Filtration performance was assessed using infusion solutions containing cephalothin, ampicillin, and oxytetracycline.
    • Flow rates were measured to evaluate filter efficacy and potential for clogging.
    • The air-elimination feature was tested by introducing air into the system.
    • A brief clinical trial involving 53 patients was conducted to gather user feedback.

    Main Results:

    • Adequate and uniform flow rates were maintained with cephalothin and ampicillin solutions.
    • A significant decrease in flow rates was observed with oxytetracycline.
    • The air-elimination system effectively handled air challenges, demonstrating its suitability.
    • The filter was rated as easy to use by nurses, pharmacists, and physicians in the clinical trial.

    Conclusions:

    • The inline intravenous filter shows promise, particularly with its effective air-elimination system.
    • Drug compatibility is a key consideration, as performance varied with different antibiotics.
    • Positive user acceptance suggests potential for clinical integration after further development.
