Sets are intended for use in controlling the infusion rate of I.V. fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system. The indications for use of the LifeShield® Latex-Free GraviTech™ Flow Controller I.V. Sets include intravenous infusion where a manual flow control is desired. ## Device Story LifeShield® Latex-Free GraviTech™ Flow Controller I.V. Sets are sterile, single-use medical devices designed to regulate the infusion rate of intravenous fluids. The device consists of non-DEHP plasticized polyvinyl tubing, piercing pins, fluid shut-off devices, CLAVE® ports, backcheck valves, and an air filter assembly. It incorporates a manual flow control mechanism with head height compensation to maintain consistent flow rates despite variations in fluid container height. The device is operated by healthcare professionals in clinical settings to deliver fluids to a patient's vascular system. By providing manual control and compensation, the device assists clinicians in managing infusion therapy, ensuring accurate fluid delivery to the patient. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Non-DEHP plasticized polyvinyl tubing, piercing pins, fluid shut-off devices, CLAVE® ports, backcheck valves, semi-rigid adapters, male adapter, air filter assembly. Manual flow control with head height compensation. Sterile, non-pyrogenic fluid path. Single-use. ## Regulatory Identification An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9. ## Predicate Devices - Dial-A-Flo® (PE) - GraviTech™ Flow Controller Primary Set / GraviTech™ flow Controller Extension Set ([K030467](/device/K030467.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
