Description
The BD Alaris PCA Extension Kit is an extension kit for the BD Alaris PCA module, with an anti-siphon valve and microbore tubing in an extra-long format. It serves pain services and wards running patient-controlled analgesia who need the PCA line extended safely.
- Anti-Siphon Valve – the ASV guards against free-flow siphoning, the specific hazard PCA lines must engineer out
- PCA-Only Device Interface – the grey PCA device is embossed PCA ONLY, marking the line's dedicated purpose
- Extra-Long Microbore Run – the extension exceeds 72 inches while keeping its priming volume in the 1-3 mL band
Extending the PCA Line Without Extending Its Risks
Patient-controlled analgesia concentrates a potent drug in a line the patient activates, so its extension set is a safety component, not a commodity. The anti-siphon valve is the headline protection: it prevents gravity siphoning from free-flowing analgesic into the patient outside the pump's control. The PCA device on the line is marked for its single purpose, embossed PCA ONLY where hands and eyes check it. Microbore tubing stretches the extension beyond 72 inches while holding priming volume to the 1-3 mL band, so the drug column stays small. A pinch clamp and fixed male luer lock complete the kit, sterile in its fluid path, packed 50 to a case.

Why PCA Extensions Are Safety Devices First
A standard extension on a PCA line introduces a free-flow path around the pump's metering, and PCA drugs forgive nothing. The anti-siphon valve closes that path by design, which is why this kit exists as its own reference.
- Free-Flow Protection – the ASV blocks siphoning that bypasses pump control
- Unmistakable Purpose – the PCA ONLY marking prevents the line being borrowed for other infusions
- Reach with a Small Drug Column – extra length at microbore volume keeps the extended line's contents minimal
- BD Alaris Ecosystem – the kit is the PCA module's own extension, matched to the platform's safety design
Frequently Asked Questions
What is this PCA extension kit used for?
It is used to extend the delivery line of a BD Alaris PCA module for patient-controlled analgesia.
What are this kit's key measures?
An extra-long microbore extension, over 72 in., with a priming volume in the 1-3 mL band and an anti-siphon valve.
How is this product sold?
The order unit is the case: 50 kits per case. You pay for one complete case, and the specifications above carry the full packaging breakdown.
Who uses this PCA extension kit?
Pain services and wards running patient-controlled analgesia who need the PCA line extended safely.
Is this the genuine BD product?
Yes, this listing is for the authentic BD PCA extension kit. Check the manufacturer SKU 10800176 in the reference section to confirm identity when the order lands.
What does the anti-siphon valve prevent?
It prevents gravity-driven siphoning of the analgesic through the line, which would deliver drug outside the PCA module's control.
