Jorgensen Labs Mini Basic IV Set | 68" Precision Infusion Administration System

The Jorgensen Labs Mini Basic IV Set is calibrated to a precision micro-drip factor of 60 drops per milliliter (60 drops/mL) to ensure highly accurate fluid administration. This specific drop orifice is engineered for technical specialists who require granular control over infusion rates, particularly when managing sensitive medications or small-patient fluid balances. By utilizing a 60-drop calibration, clinicians can easily calculate flow rates where 1 drop per second equals exactly 1 milliliter per minute, simplifying manual calculations in high-acuity environments. The set includes a precision roller clamp that allows for micro-adjustments to the flow without the "creeping" often found in low-tier administration sets. This level of volumetric control is essential for preventing fluid overload in neonatal or small veterinary patients.

Featuring a 68-inch total length, this IV administration set provides sufficient reach to accommodate varied patient placements and cage or bed heights without causing line tension. The set is equipped with an integrated Y-injection site located near the distal end, allowing for the aseptic administration of bolus medications or secondary infusions without disconnecting the primary line. This configuration supports clinical integration by reducing the need for additional extension sets, thereby minimizing the number of connection points and potential leak sites. A male luer-lock connector with a rotating collar ensures a secure, leak-proof interface with the patient’s catheter or a three-way stopcock. These features together enhance the scalability of fluid therapy protocols across diverse ward layouts.

This IV set is designed with a universal vented spike that permits seamless integration with both collapsible non-vented bags and rigid glass fluid containers. The integrated air vent features a high-efficiency bacterial filter that prevents environmental contaminants from entering the fluid path during gravity-fed infusions. When using collapsible IV bags, the vent can be easily closed to maintain the vacuum-sealed integrity of the system, offering maximum versatility for facility managers stocking varied fluid brands. This dual-compatibility ensures that technical staff do not need to switch between different administration sets based on the fluid reservoir type. Such flexibility reduces inventory complexity and ensures that the correct micro-drip precision is always available regardless of the container used.

Standardizing on the 60 drops/mL Mini Basic IV Set provides a superior Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing the clinical risks and pharmaceutical waste associated with imprecise dosing. In environments where electronic infusion pumps may be unavailable, these micro-drip sets serve as a reliable, cost-effective alternative for maintaining safe, low-volume flow rates via gravity. By preventing the complications of over-infusion, institutions can significantly lower the long-term costs of patient recovery and potential liability. Procurement officers benefit from the predictable unit pricing of these individually sterile-packaged consumables, which are designed for high-turnover clinical use. Over a fiscal year, the reliability of the Jorgensen Labs J0468M minimizes the need for emergency replacements and streamlines the equipment fleet for specialized care units.

The Jorgensen Labs J0468M is manufactured using medical-grade, latex-free polymers to eliminate the risk of allergic reactions and ensure high biocompatibility during prolonged fluid contact. Each set undergoes a rigorous ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization process and is individually sealed in a peel-pouch to maintain aseptic integrity until the point of use. The transparent tubing is engineered for high-flexibility and kink-resistance, ensuring that the fluid path remains unobstructed even during patient movement or transport. These sets meet strict institutional infection control standards, featuring high-contrast markings on the drip chamber for immediate visual verification of flow. Adhering to these material and manufacturing protocols ensures that the Mini Basic IV Set is a safe, high-performance asset for any medical or veterinary facility.
