<p>A pre-primed IV tubing (1) having a lumen (5) and first and second ends (2) and (3). The lumen (5) of the pre-primed IV tubing (1) is completely filled with solution (4), devoid of air and is capped at both ends (2) and (3). The pre-primed IV tubing (1) may be packaged in a sterile bag (8) or stored in a container designed for storage and transport of intravenous fluids and medications. Alternatively, the pre-primed IV tubing (1) may be spiked or otherwise joined to a pre-filled IV solution bag (7) to form an IV delivery system. The pre-primed IV tubing 1 may contain the same solution (4) as held in the IV solution bag (7) or any other compatible solution (4). Furnishing the pre-primed IV tubing (1) with a universal solution eliminates the tedious process of expelling air from the tubing and speeds setup of an IV delivery system.</p> |
