Product description
The Connecta MultiFlo 5-Way, 394653, is a Multiple Infusion Manifold, packed sterile. The Connecta MultiFlo Holder, 394630, is not packed sterile. It has a plastic screw device on one end to attach it to a pole and a set of plastic prongs on the other to clip onto the infusion manifold to hold it in place. The clip mechanism can be swiveled up or down on an axis and then locked in place with a plastic screw. Per the flyer you enclosed, “When you’re working with a complex array of lines in multiple infusion therapy, you need the BD Multiflo( manifold, exclusively from BD. The BD Multiflo manifold helps you organize up to five infusion lines and puts them under your complete control. Even in the most complex hookup, the BD Multiflo manifold reduces disconnects, leakage and contamination. And the BD Multiflo manifold makes it easier to set up and prime each line.” Two typical uses are in drug administration and in blood infusion. Similar items were classified in HTS 9018.90.80 in HRL 956751 KCC, 12-6-94. We agree that
