How do I know that the Spike Port Adaptor won't fall out during delivery to the ward?
The spike is fixed to the bag by high friction.
How long can I leave the Vial Adaptor on a partly used vial, refrigerated or at room temperature?
As per drug manufacturer specifications
How can I prime the Spike Port Adaptor when attached to a bag? The fluid from the bag doesn't seem to run into the Spike Port.
To prime the SPA, the nurse must connect the infusion set to the SPA. The SPA is then primed together with the infusion set.
There are two safety devices in the Spike Port Adaptor Set:
1. Clamp - which the nurse should close before connecting the spike to the bag.
2. Diaphragm - in the twist-off connector. The diaphragm is torn when the spike of the IV set is introduced. As long as the IV set is not connected, the diaphragm remains intact and fluid cannot flow into the Spike Port Adaptor.
