ABSTRACT:
In an IV administration set including an IV solution container, a drip chamber having a hollow spike for introduction into the container, and an IV line having a port for delivering the IV solution to a patient, a system for identifying the components of the set includes a first identification element removably attached to the drip chamber for subsequent attachment to the container; a second identification element affixed to the drip chamber; and a third identification element either permanently or removably attached to the port. The first identification element is adhesively attached to the drip chamber to allow its removal for subsequent attachment to the container. The second identification element is permanently affixed to the drip chamber. The third identification element is integral with or removably attached to the IV line port. The first, second, and third identification elements bear matching identification symbols.
