It was reported that 7 bd phaseal¿ iv bag/line access devices experienced flow issues.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: air in the system.We have had a big problem with the new infusion sets from in combination with phaseal's adapter for antibiotic mixing the last few days.When using these two together, the entire drip chamber fills with air and spreads out into the drip line.We have had no problems with air intake when the unit is used alone for infusions.It is an automatic self-regulating valve on the units that should only be open for infusions from a glass bottle.We have of course tried both with the valve open and closed but with the same result.
