When do you need an IV set with an air vent?
When the fluid comes in a rigid glass bottle. The bottle cannot collapse, so air has to enter as fluid leaves. The vent on an IV infusion set with air vent lets that air in through a bacterial filter.
It also works with plastic bags, which is why wards that run both keep this set as their default.
Vented or non vented: which giving set should I buy?
Buy the IV infusion set with air vent if any of your fluids come in glass bottles, or if you want one set that covers everything. Buy the set without an air vent if every fluid you run comes in a plastic bag.
Both Sternmed sets share the 15 micron filter, 150 cm tubing and 20 drops per ml, so your drip rate sums stay the same.

How the set is used
Only trained health workers should set up and run an IV infusion. Fluid type, rate and monitoring are clinical decisions. Follow your facility protocol for priming, venting and set changes.
Staff use the drop factor of 20 drops per ml to work out the drip rate, or use our free IV drip rate calculator. Use each IV infusion set with air vent once only. The injection bulb is latex, so keep latex allergy in mind.
The World Health Organization patient safety guidance covers safe infusion practice.
