Dealing with cytotoxic drugs in infusion therapy poses particular challenges to users in both drug preparation and administration. The protection against contamination of any kind on the one hand and the complete administration of the medication on the other hand are the central points in the handling of cytotoxic drugs and our essential approach in the development and production of CODAN CYTO® infusion systems since the 1990’s. Thus, we have been pioneering in the field of cytostatic drug administration for nearly 30 years and see ourselves as a partner of pharmacies, practices and hospitals in establishing and implementing appropriate workflows by application of our systems.
The Cyto-Ad Z® systems are the primary lines for the administration of cytostatics and other medications to the patient and the Connect Z® is the secondary line – together, both lines create a safe closed system.
Cyto-Ad Z®
The Cyto-Ad Z® from CODAN is an infusion set developed for a safe and low-risk administration of cytostatics and other medications in connection with Connect Z®.
Cyto-Ad Z® with Wing-Valve
The Cyto-Ad-Wing Z® from CODAN is an infusion set developed for a safe and low-risk administration of cytostatics and other medications in connection with Connect Z®. In addition to the Cyto-Ad Z®, the Cyto-Ad-Wing Z® has a Wing-Valve component at the top of the inline drip chamber for facilitating preparation/filling, simple aeration and ventilation of the system. The drip chamber no longer has to be pumped and thus handling of the administration is considerably easier. The Wing-Valve can be applied during use in order to correct the fluid level.
The Cyto-Ad Z® systems (Cyto-Ad Z® & Cyto-Ad-Wing Z®) are available with the following options:
Connect Z®
Connect Z® has been developed for the needle-free preparation and transfer of cytotoxic drugs and other highly potent medications. The system supports structured and controlled workflows to help minimise potential risks such as leakage, contamination, or exposure to hazardous substances. In combination with Cyto-Ad-Wing Z® or Cyto-Ad Z®, Connect Z® supports a seamless process chain for the safe preparation and administration of cytotoxic drugs and other highly potent medications.
The Connect Z® system spike features a needle-free mixing adapter with an open-close mechanism for the safe withdrawal and addition of fluids. In addition, a hydrophobic filter enables sterile venting during administration when required. The integrated CODAN Check Valve reliably protects the filter from moisture and filter blockage.
Various configuration options, filter variants, and light-protection systems allow flexible adaptation to different therapy requirements.
Cyto-Ad Z® Inline and CODAN IVIP® dedicated infusion sets for specific pump application
The Cyto-Ad Z® Inline is designed for use in combination with a dedicated infusion set incorporating a special pump segment. The Inline Spike Adapter at the end of the Cyto-Ad® Inline is suitable for the connection to all standard spikes of dedicated infusion sets.
In addition to the Cyto-Ad Z® Inline transfer systems, CODAN offers dedicated IVIP® infusion sets to administer cytostatics and other medication with specific volumetric infusion pumps. These IVIP® infusion sets are equipped with specific pump systems e.g. special conveying with silicone and retention segment.
