| Abstract: |
An improved intravenous administration set is provided. The intravenous administation set (10) has nonremovable markings (34) positioned such that the user may identify a particular IV set at its point of attachment to a fluid source and immediately determine whether a Y-site (26), adapter (22) or other fluid entry or exit port is a component part of the same IV set and immediately distinguish one set from another. The markings (34) advantageously may be provided on the surface of the hardware of the IV sets or may consist of color tint added directly to the material from which the hardware is made. Kits having a plurality of IV sets, each with different markings, are also provided.

+ IMPROVED INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION SET
This invention relates to intravenous administration sets.
+ BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Intravenous administration sets (IV sets) are used to deliver sterilely therapeutic solutions from a container to a patient. An IV set includes flexible tubing having a hollow spike at one end for puncturing and providing passage from a container of therapeutic solution and an adapter at the opposite end for providing a connection to a needle, catheter, or the like which accesses a patient's blood vessel. The container typically is hung from an IV pole and the terapeutic solution is either gravity fed or mechanically pumped (to regulate precisely the volume of infusion) into a patient.
+ SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to provide indicia for IV sets, which indicia overcome the foregoing inadequacies characteristic of the prior art. It is another object of the invention to provide IV sets having component parts that are easily identified and distinguished when multiple IV sets are used with a single patient.
+ Brief Description of the Drawings
Fig. 1 illustrates an IV set of the invention; Fig. 2 illustrates two IV sets of the invention attached to the same patient; Fig. 3 illustrates an embodiment of the identification indicia of the invention applied to a drip chamber; Fig. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the identification indicia of the invention applied to a drip chamber; and Fig. 5 illustrates yet another embodiment of the identification indicia of the invention applied to a drip chamber. ###
+ DETAILED Description of the Drawings
The IV set of Fig. 1 illustrates the invention. The IV set 10 includes fr- exible tubing and substantially rigid hardware attached to the tubing at various locations. The flexible tubing 12 has a fluid entry end 14 and a fluid exit end 16.
