Baxa Introduces Four New Microfuse Infusion System Administration Sets
March 18 2005 Baxa Corporation announces the addition of four specialty administration sets to the MicroFuse Syringe Infusion System line These new sets incorporate a Tsite for the convenient administration of coronary vasodilators during myocardial perfusion imaging Their design resulted from customer feedback on safety and ease of administration for this specialty cardiac application
The new MicroFuse Administration Sets feature an integrated Tsite injection port close to the set outlet This easyaccess port facilitates the addition of a secondary medication during cardiac monitoring procedures minimizing the opportunity for medication error or the introduction of touch contamination Prior to their release the available selection of administration sets was limited The sets offer needleless ports and are available in several convenient lengths to accommodate different clinical practices
Baxa has offered a specialty infuser for vasodilation procedures for many years explains Mark Thrasher Market Manager for IV administration products The new sets were developed from discussions with cardiac clinics and their technicians Providers had very specific input on set length connector types and specific configurations They made it easy to respond with products that addressed specific needs
The MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infuser is the most popular device for simple costeffective administration of adenosine The new sets complement Baxa Corporation's existing product line for pharmacologic stress imaging MicroFuse Administration Sets have a low prime volume to minimize drug waste Their integrated Y and T connectors make them safer and more efficient than competitive sets used for this application
Baxa developed the MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infuser specifically for rapid infusion of adenosine during pharmacologic imaging procedures To accommodate this specialty application MicroFuse Rapid Rate Infusers deliver a full syringe dose over approximately six or eight minutes depending on physician requirements
