Plum™ Dedicated Set Portfolio
Get Accurate Medication Delivery With Every Set
At the heart of every Plum system is a broad portfolio designed to enhance safety and support the accurate delivery of medications.
The Plum dedicated sets difference
Plum dedicated sets feature innovative cassette technology that includes:
- A built-in air trap that minimizes nuisance alarms by capturing up to 1 mL of air before alarming
- Backpriming functionality to easily remove air without disconnecting the patient line
- Direct secondary connection to administer in either a syringe or medication container
- Capability to infuse two compatible medications through a single line at independent flow rates
- Built-in flow regulator that automatically engages when pump door is opened, helping to reduce uncontrolled free flow risk
- Ability to deliver in gravity mode if necessary
Improving infection control and patient safety with every set
Every Plum dedicated set features Clave™ needlefree IV connector—industry-leading infection control technology designed to help enhance safety and efficiency.
- In a comprehensive study comparing 20 different needlefree IV connectors, researchers reported ICU Medical connectors featuring Clave technology were shown to have a significantly lower bacterial transfer rate than any of the other connectors tested1
- Use a single connector technology to standardize IV therapy wherever care is given
- Full portfolio of non-DEHP sets
Standard Primary Administration Sets
Designed to support international standards for patient safety and
best clinical practices, the Plum primary sets portfolio features
multiple configurations that serve a distinct clinical purpose,
including:
- Multiple Y-sites, for clinical practices where easy access points to the patient line are needed
- Microbore tubing that minimizes the priming volume
- Backcheck valve to help prevent medication backflow into the primary infusion line when used in gravity mode
- Longer tubing (129 in.) for complex clinical setups where multiple pumps are required for a single patient
Blood Sets
The Plum blood sets portfolio features sets with an integrated 200-micron filter in the drip chamber to help trap blood clots and particles, as well as single and double spike (Y-type) options.
- Y-type sets enable the connection of IV fluid and blood bag to the main line, easing the priming process and blood component flushing.
- The Plum 360™ infusion system utilizes a unique cassette with volumetric pumping mechanism that aligns with the latest INS recommendations.2
- Nursing spends less time monitoring, adjusting, and troubleshooting flow rates.3
- A 2014 review study demonstrated that:4
- Among the different types and infusion pump mechanisms, the safest for transfusions are volumetric infusion pumps with the cassette mechanism.
- The paper concludes that linear peristaltic pumps are more likely than other mechanisms to cause hemolytic effects.
Specialty Sets
The Plum specialty sets portfolio helps support the various facets of medication delivery and workflow efficiency with specialty sets for a variety of needs, including:
- Light-resistant sets featuring orange tubing to help protect medications from light exposure
- Polyethylene-lined (PE) sets for use with infusion medications not compatible with PVC
- Single-channel sets with no distal Y-site to minimize the risk of drug diversion
Filter Sets
The Plum filter sets portfolio helps you support patient safety without complicating nursing workflow. Featuring several in-line filter set configurations with two different pore-size filters (0.2
and 1.2 micron), the portfolio helps you promote:
- A reduced length of stay for adult and pediatric ICU patients
- One study showed a reduction in incidence of phlebitis from 26.9% to 2.2%5
- Patient safety with filters that may help reduce air delivery to patients
Burette Sets
Burette sets play an important role in IV therapy, offering precise measurement and delivery of fluid. The Plum burette sets portfolio from ICU Medical features multiple access points, as well as a range of configurations that enable customization for a variety of needs
- Graduated cylinder design for clear visualization of infusion volume and progress
- Options with/without inline filter to support reduced waste and streamlined workflows
- Backcheck valve helps prevent medication from flowing backward into the primary solution container, ensuring proper directional flow
- Distal microbore tubing helps significantly reduce priming volume
- Multiple Y-sites facilitate additional infusion line access when needed
Enteral Sets
The Plum enteral sets portfolio offers two specialized configurations to meet specific applications. Featuring a single-channel cassette that helps prevent inadvertent mixing of enteral nutrition, our enteral sets align with established clinical best practices.
- Two available configurations: bag designed for the administration of enteral liquids or powders; set featuring an integrated screw cap that seamlessly connects with plastic bottles of enteral formula
- Designed to help improve clarity and efficiency in clinical settings with a distinctive orange color serving as a visual cue for enteral use
Epidural Sets
The Plum epidural sets portfolio is designed to help prevent misconnections and enhance patient safety. With distinctive yellow-striped tubing that is easy to distinguish from other administration routes, the epidural sets help support patient safety.
- Single-channel design and no distal Y-sites helps minimize the risk of drug diversion and enhance safety
- Additional features include microbore tubing to minimize priming volume and sets with 0.2 micron filters to help remove air, bacteria, particulate matter, and other contaminants from medication or fluid
