Full Text TITLE OF INVENTION ADVANCED INTRAVENOUS
INFUSION SET
FIELD OF INVENTION The invention relates to improvement in devices
for parental infusion of fluid through intravenous infusion devices.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION:
Many drugs are given to patient in form of fluid infusion in various modes like:
- Some drugs are infused in dose escalating manner i.e. drug/mm. Have to be
increased with time until desired effect is achieved, e.g.-
1. Dopamine for raising blood pressure in hypotensive crisis.
2. Dobutamine for raising blood pressure in hypotensive crisis
3. G.T N. for lowering blood pressure in hypertensive crisis, M.I.
4. Phenytoin infusion in status epilepticus
5. Meg. Sulphate in eclampsia
6. Oxytocin infusion to induce or augment labor
-Some drug are infused in dose decreasing manner.
-Some drug are infused in fixed rate like fluid infusion in neonates and infants. These modes of drug infusion are very crucial in management as it is usually required in managing emergencies. So dose infusion should be precise. It is achieved by following ways-
Intravenous infusion set: The known state of art comprises of an drip Chamber,
a flow regulator and a connecting outer nozzle
Drip Chamber The know state of art comprises of vertical chamber made of
transparent resilient material. It has two ends upper end have a needle made of
plastic for insertion in source of infusing fluid, lower end have opening in its base
and continues as outlet
DRAWBACKS
Air embolism Although due to use of drip Chamber air embolism has low chances to occur, but in case if one forgets to close fluid flow after an infusion bottle ends, air enters i.v. set. If an another infusion bottle has to be follow, air

embolism. So to prevent air embolism i.v. set has to be removed from cannula. Air is
cleared away by flushing and then it is reconnected
It results in wastage of drug and time and high chances of air embolism.
Flow regulator
It is ramp & roller device [as such known art] comprises of housing with a ramp&
guided roller co acting on said ramp. Tube having solution passes underneath the
roller, over the ramp by moving the roller, flow rate is controlled.
Drawbacks-
• No calibrations
• It is cumbersome to set desired flow rate as one has
to count drops, every time he moves roller and if
desired count is not achieved he have to repeat the
same process hit an trial method.
• 3to4 min. is consumed to set a desired flow rate.
Outer Nozzle It is a tube made of hard plastic with tapering ends. One end
connect it with tube of I.V. Set and second end connect it with needle, cannula and S.V. Set
Drawback:
Poor flushing If cannula is blocked, it is flushed to regain flow. It is
done by stopping infusion and disconnecting it from cannula. Flushing is done with help of saline shot by syringe. Infusion is regained by reconnecting outer nozzle to cannula. Now again adjust flow rate by hit and trial method. It results in wastage of a syringe and time.
Unable to add another Intravenous infusion set Another Intravenous infusion set is added with help of another cannula or using "Three-way" device i.e. extra burden on patient's pocket.
2. FLOW CONTROL DEVICE for controlling flow of a liquid dispensed Intravenously in metered quantities, [patent no-166726-india] Drawbacks-
• Device is in direct contact with drug, so drug spillage may
occur within device around diaphragm
• Not universally available till date

3. BATTERY OPERATED INFUSION PUMP [patent no-180771-indial
Drawbacks-
• Battery or electronic circuit failure may occur.
• High cost
• Technical knowledge required for its use.
• In case of mass casuality, device availability for each
patient is noneconomical & may not be feasible.
• As volume capacity of syringes used is limited and low,
so fluid infusion of large volumes requires refilling many
times
4. APPARATUS FOR ADMINISTRATION OF PARENTAL FLUIDS
[patent no-151725-indial apparatus comprising of a container adapted to
support a pliant bag_containing infusion liquid^pressure applying means_(any gas like O2,N2, COa etc.) to apply pressure on a pliant bag through a diaphragm. Drawbacks -
• Depends upon gas availability.
• Useful only for drugs in a pliant bag i.e. not useful for
drugs dispensed in hard packing and glass bottles
• High cost.
• Technical knowledge required for its use.
OBJECT OF INVENTION
To make an infusion set having features like anti air embolism, better flow rate control with calibrated control, easy to flush and having capability to add another infusion set simultaneously in same cannula. STATEMENT OF INVENTION
The advanced intravenous infusion set having features like anti air embolism, better flow rate control, calibrated control, easy to flush and having capability to add another infusion set with it.
SUMMERY OF INVENTION
The advance intravenous infusion set consists of
• Partially immersed but floating ball made of plastic/latex with in drip
Chamber to prevent air embolism.
• Calibrated drop rate controlling device
• Y-shaped outer nozzle
• A stopper in between Calibrated drop rate controlling device and Y-shaped
outer nozzle (just proximal Y-shaped outer nozzle).

Detail description of the invention with accompanying drawings;
The advance intravenous infusion set will now be more described with reference to accompanying drawings submitted along with provisional specification, where in: Advance intravenous infusion set consists of five parts as following: Part It is modified drip chamber 1 made of transparent resilient plastic chamber having a cap 2 with needle for insertion in infusion bottle or any other source of drug to be infused.
Drip Chamber outlet 3 continues as tube E. Filter 4 fitted in upper part of drip chamber for filtering infusion fluid.
A plastic or latex ball 5 is put inside the drip chamber. Its weight is adjusted so that it floats like an iceberg. It floats when fluid is present in the drip chamber. When drip chamber is about to empty, it comes down and gets fit in in base of its corresponding size covering one-third of ball 5's area. This 4fe 6 has an opening 8 in its base 7 which open chamber outlet 3 . Weight of plastic or latex ball 5 is adjusted so that its major portion remain below water

surface. When fluid is about to vanish in drip Chamber ball 5 comes down and fits

in the cavity rife 6 as a result opening 8 gets blocked , now air cannot enter in the tube E, When infusion bottle is changed and drip Chamber 1 is filled again with fluid, ball 5 goes up opening 8 gets open. Now fluid will enter in tube E again. Modifications as compare to known art—
• Filter 4 fitted in upper part of drip Chamber for filtering infusion fluid
• A plastic or latex ball 5 is put inside the drip Chamber.

• A cavity 6 in base 7 of drip Chamber.
Alternate form — a housing having a filter in its lower part & having a cavity 5 in upper
part can be placed at base of drip Chamber.
Part B (Fig. 3) This part is outer nozzle(B) which connects tube E to cannula (not shown in figure) the modified outer nozzle(B) consists Y shaped body 9 having slightly tapered first end 10 and second end 11 to facilitate connections. Third end 12 is having a removable cap 13.
Tube E is connected to first end 10 second end 11 is inserted in cannula. Third end 12 facilitates flushing and also to connect another IV. sets, so that at same time two infusion bottles can infuse through same cannula. I.V. Injection can be given through it.
Thus this outer nozzle (B) serves three purposes: -1 Connects tube E to cannula.
2. It ends need of "three way" devices to connect another infusion bottle
through same cannula.
3. Another infusion bottle can be infused through same cannula so there is
no need of another cannula.
4. IV injections can be given by using syringe only without using needle.
So it saves cost of another cannula, two ways or three way, needle to patients.
Part C -^ It is a ^calibrated drop rate regulator which controls rate of fluid infusion estimated by no. of drops per minute entering in drip Chamber,
Drop rate regulator device consists of five part named as blocks a, b, c, d and eas shown in Fig. 5.
Fig. 4, shows scheme diagram showing configuration of devices.

Block a -r It acts as housing device having inlet 15 and outlet 14 making a canal
through which tube E passes. One part of this housing acts as a nut (17) having threading.

Canal (16) and nut (17)are interconnected through a square passage,(19) which facilitates linear motion of block e and restricts its circular motion. .

Block b -> It is a modified bolt having a passage (23) through its body calibrated head

and having thread at tail end (20)only. Stopper (22) are made on body to restrict complete
unscrewing of modified screw.
5
Block c -> It is a bush and fitted inside the Block b. It acts as a nut for tail end'bf

Block d It is modified screw having calibrated head, Stopper? ball shaped knob
attached at its tail end which forms Ball and socket type of joint with block e. Block
d fits into passage of block b and it is also longer than block b.
It is a rectangular block having a socketAat one end and a pointed wedge
at other end. It act as CAM.
Fig. 4 represents the scheme diagram of drop rate regulator. Block c is fitted inside
of the block b at its tail end. Now block b is screwed into block c such that its kno
lies beyond tail end of block b. Now block e by its socket" is attached with ball
shaped knob"of block O, then this whole assembly is screwed into block a. Such that block e enters into square passage and block b fits into nut of block a. Tube E is passed through canal Fig. 6 shows how this regulator acts. Head" of block b is screwed to its full, as result
of which wedge of block e compresses tube Ho major extent (approx. 90%). Moving

head'bf block d compresses rest of 10% due to which drop rate alters. Head /bf block
have cal liberation in drops per min. so desired drop rate is achieved by compression of tube E by moving head of bloc desired calibration. ,
