IV BAG QUESTION

Post by woody1 »

Hello,

I haven't used one before have a simple question.

The bottom of the bag has 2 lines coming off it, if you hold the bag up so top is at 12 {where you hang the bag} and bottom at 6, 2 lines come off bag at 6, one line on left one on right, Left line has a white bung in it, and right line has a blue larger bung with a twist fitting on it.

I assume the IV line goes on the right hand side, do you twist and remove the larger bung then insert the IV plunger unit into that side?

What is the left hand side for {additional medicine}?

If you pull the blue bung out will the solution piss out?

I checked out a couple of vids on u tube, not all bags seem to have the 2 bung fittings

Thanks for your help

Its the larger of the two. Mine have a rubbery pull ring that you pull off the port and shove the clean spike on the administration set into it.
