| Abstract: |
A system for the intravenous administration of a plurality of medicaments and/or nutrients contained in respective liquid containers includes a plurality of liquid intravenous administration sets, each administration set defining a flow path from a point of entry adapted to be fluidly connected to a respective liquid container to a point of exit adapted to be fluidly connected to a vasopuncture device, the flow path being bounded over a portion of its length by a flexible intravenous tube, and a plurality of indicia, each designating a respective one of the liquid reservoirs containing one of the medicaments and/or nutrients and associated with a respective one of the administration sets defining a flow path from that liquid reservoir designated by the indicia. In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of indicia comprise respective colors, each color designating a respective one of the liquid containers containing one of the medicaments and/or nutrients.

I claim:
1. A system for the intravenous administration of at least two different liquids to a patient, said system comprising:
- a first flexible single-walled tube having a first end, a second end and an interior area for administering a first liquid to a patient, said first tube being fabricated of a polymeric material having a coloring agent such that the first tube is of a first translucent color throughout its entirety, said second end of said first tube for receiving insertion means for placing said tube in fluid communication with the patient;
- a first container for storing said first liquid in an interior area thereof, said first container being fabricated of a material selected from the group consisting of a polymer or ceramic having a coloring agent such that the first container is of the first translucent color throughout its entirety, said first end of said first tube being in fluid communication with said interior area of said first container;
- a second flexible single-walled tube having a first end, a second end and an interior area for administering a second liquid to a patient, said second tube being fabricated of a polymeric material having a coloring agent such that the second tube is of a second translucent color throughout its entirety, said second end of said second tube for receiving insertion means for placing said second tube in fluid communication with the patient;
- a second container for storing the second liquid in an interior area thereof, said second container being fabricated of a material selected from the group consisting of a polymer or ceramic having a coloring agent such that the second container is of the second translucent color throughout its entirety, said first end of said second tube being in fluid communication with the interior area of the second container whereby the first and second tubes and the first and second liquids within the first and second tubes can be readily identified by the color of the tubes and containers.
