Description

The B. Braun 8700141SP is a premium, sterile, single-use infusion set specifically engineered for seamless integration with the B. Braun Infusomat® Space and SpacePlus pump systems. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern intravenous therapy, this infusion line combines precision engineering with integrated safety features to ensure reliable fluid delivery in critical care, oncology, and general ward settings.

Core Technology

The 8700141SP line incorporates B. Braun’s proprietary Silicone Pump Segment, which is the heart of the system’s accuracy. Unlike standard PVC lines that may lose shape over time, the high-grade silicone segment maintains its elasticity, ensuring that the pump’s peristaltic mechanism delivers the exact programmed volume over long-term infusions. Additionally, the integrated Safeflow Anti-Reflux Valve and 15 μm fluid filter work in tandem to maintain a closed, sterile environment.

Mechanism of Action

When loaded into an Infusomat® Space pump, the dedicated silicone segment is engaged by the pump’s drive mechanism. The line utilizes a specialized Anti-Free-Flow (AFF) clamp that automatically closes when the set is removed from the pump, preventing accidental bolus infusions. During operation, the Safeflow valve prevents the retrograde flow of fluids or blood, while the 15 μm membrane filters out particulate matter and air bubbles from the infusate before it reaches the patient’s vascular system.

Applications and Clinical Uses

This infusion line is optimized for a wide range of clinical protocols requiring high-precision delivery:

  • Maintenance Fluid Administration: Reliable delivery of crystalloids and electrolytes.

  • Medication Infusion: Precise dosing of antibiotics, analgesics, and cardiovascular drugs.

  • Oncology: Safe administration of chemotherapy agents where flow consistency is critical.

  • Nutritional Support: Compatible with Parenteral Nutrition (PN) formulations.

Key Advantages

  • Superior Accuracy: Silicone tubing prevents “set fatigue,” maintaining flow rate precision within ±5%.

  • Enhanced Patient Safety: The 15 μm filter reduces the risk of phlebitis and embolism caused by particulate contamination.

  • Workflow Efficiency: Color-coded components and dedicated pump-fitment clips allow for rapid, error-free setup.

  • Needle-Free Access: The Safeflow valve allows for needle-free aspiration and injection, reducing the risk of sharps injuries to healthcare providers.

Edwards Lifesciences Vascushunt II Carotid Shunt (T38F30)

The Edwards Lifesciences T38F30 Vascushunt II is a specialized sterile silicone shunt designed for use during Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA). This 8F, 30 cm device is essential for surgeons who require a temporary bypass to maintain cerebral blood flow while the carotid artery is clamped for plaque removal. Its design prioritizes atraumatic insertion and high-flow stability to minimize the risk of intraoperative stroke.

Core Technology

The Vascushunt II utilizes Kink-Resistant Silicone technology, providing a balance of flexibility and structural integrity. This ensures that even when the shunt is positioned in a deep surgical field, the lumen remains open. The inclusion of Safety Balloon Technology at the distal and proximal ends allows for secure anchoring within the vessel without the need for aggressive external clamping, which can damage fragile vascular intima.

Mechanism of Action

During the CEA procedure, the T38F30 is inserted into the common carotid and internal carotid arteries. The integrated balloons are inflated to create a seal, diverting oxygenated blood through the 30 cm shunt body and bypassing the surgical site. This maintains continuous cerebral perfusion. The integrated stopcocks allow the surgical team to flush the line or monitor pressure within the shunt to ensure patency throughout the “clamp time.”

Applications and Clinical Uses

  • Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA): The primary application for preventing cerebral ischemia during plaque excision.

  • Vascular Trauma Repair: Temporary shunting in emergency vascular reconstructions.

  • Complex Neck Dissections: Maintaining blood flow during tumor resections involving the carotid sheath.

Key Advantages

  • Reduced Vessel Trauma: Balloon fixation eliminates the need for J-clamps or Rummel tourniquets on the shunt site.

  • Optimal Visibility: The 30 cm length (outlying) provides ample space for the surgeon to work on the arteriotomy without the shunt obstructing the view.

  • High Flow Rates: The 8F diameter is optimized for adult hemodynamics, ensuring sufficient distal perfusion pressures.

  • Kink Resistance: The medical-grade silicone is engineered to resist collapse even when bent at acute angles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the B. Braun 8700141SP compatible with other pump brands?

No, the 8700141SP is designed exclusively for the B. Braun Infusomat® Space and SpacePlus systems. The specific dimensions of the silicone pump segment and the anti-free-flow clamp are engineered to fit the internal sensors and mechanics of B. Braun pumps only. Using it with other brands may result in inaccurate flow rates.

What are the primary benefits of the 15 μm filter in the infusion line?

The 15 μm fluid filter acts as a critical safety barrier. It captures glass fragments from ampoules, undissolved drug particles, and micro-bubbles. By preventing these contaminants from entering the patient’s bloodstream, the filter significantly reduces the risk of vascular irritation, chemical phlebitis, and potential pulmonary micro-emboli during long-term IV therapy.

How does the Vascushunt II Safety Balloon technology prevent vessel damage?

Traditional shunts often require external clamps to stay in place, which can crush the arterial wall. The Vascushunt II uses internal balloons that expand gently to secure the shunt. This provides an internal seal that distributes pressure evenly, minimizing intimal hyperplasia or arterial dissection risks during the endarterectomy procedure.

Can the Edwards T38F30 shunt be reused after sterilization?

No, the Edwards Lifesciences T38F30 is a strictly single-use device. It is delivered sterile and is not designed to withstand the heat or chemical rigors of secondary sterilization. Attempting to reuse the shunt could lead to material degradation, balloon failure, or cross-contamination between surgical patients.

Does the 8700141SP infusion set contain DEHP or Latex?

The B. Braun 8700141SP is manufactured to be DEHP-free and Latex-free. This makes it safe for use with sensitive patient populations, including neonates and patients with known rubber allergies, while also ensuring compatibility with a broader range of lipid-soluble medications that can leach plasticizers from standard PVC.

Why is the 30 cm length significant for the T38F30 Carotid Shunt?

The 30 cm length is considered an “outlying” length, meaning it provides extra distance between the proximal and distal insertion points. This is particularly useful in complex or high-carotid surgeries, as it allows the shunt body to be looped away from the primary incision, giving the surgeon an unobstructed view.
