<p>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.</p> |
