Combining patient safety with ease of use
Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) sets in combination with Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) pumps ensure the patient receives a more predictable ONSET of drugs, greater accuracy and ease of maintenance and a more predictable OFFSET of drugs1,2
The infusion set through which TIVA is delivered should have a luer lock connector at each end, an anti-siphon valve on the drug delivery line(s) and an anti-reflux valve on any fluid administration line. Drug and fluid lines should join as close to the patient as possible to minimize dead space. The use of administration sets specifically designed for TIVA is recommended3
Integral anti-siphon valve
Color-coded anti-siphon valves and clamps
Clear distinction between lines (i.e., white for propofol and green for remifentanil)
Kink resistant polyurethane gravity line with back-check valve
Multiple lumen hub with negligible common fluid space
PE-lined tubing
