Infusion Sets for Single Use, Gravity Feed
1 Scope
This standard specifies requirements for single use, gravity feed infusion sets in order to ensure their compatibility with containers for infusion solutions and intravenous equipment.
Secondary aims of this standard are to provide guidance on specifications relating to the quality and performance of materials used in infusion sets and to present designations for infusion set components.

3 General Requirements
3.1 The nomenclature to be used for components of infusion sets and of a separate air-inlet device is given in Figures 1, 2 and 3. These figures illustrate examples of the configuration of infusion sets and air-inlet devices; other configurations may be used provided they lead to the same results. Infusion sets as illustrated in Figure 2 should only be used for collapsible plastics containers. Infusion sets as illustrated in Figure 2 used with separate air-inlet devices as illustrated in Figure 3, or infusion sets as illustrated in Figure 1, shall be used for rigid containers.
3.2 The infusion set shall be provided with protective caps to maintain sterility of the internal parts of the set until the set is used. The air-inlet device shall be provided with a protective cap over the closure-piercing device or needle.
