Description
The Plum Primary Administration Set is a dedicated PlumSet built around the Plum pump's cassette technology, with a built-in air trap and backpriming built into the set. This primary configuration runs 103 inches with a Clave secondary port, a Y-site, and 15 drops per mL.
- Cassette Air Trap – The built-in air trap captures up to 1 mL of air before alarming, which minimizes nuisance alarms
- Backpriming Without Disconnecting – Air clears by backpriming instead of breaking the patient line
- Clave Needlefree Connector – Every Plum dedicated set carries Clave needlefree technology for infection control
Dedicated Primary Set for the Plum Infusion System
At the heart of every Plum system is a portfolio of dedicated sets designed to support accurate medication delivery. The cassette technology in this primary set traps air before it can alarm, and it lets clinicians backprime air out without disconnecting the patient line. A direct secondary connection administers from either a syringe or a medication container, and the set can infuse two compatible medications through a single line at independent flow rates. When the pump door opens, a built-in flow regulator engages automatically, which helps reduce uncontrolled free-flow risk. The set can also deliver in gravity mode when necessary. This configuration is non-DEHP, runs 103 inches, and is supplied 48 per case.

Why Infusion Teams Choose Plum Dedicated Primary Sets
Plum pumps earn their keep on delivery accuracy, and generic sets spend that advantage. Dedicated PlumSets are engineered around the cassette, the air trap, and the Clave connector as one system. Standardizing on the dedicated set keeps the pump's safety case intact.
- Fewer Nuisance Alarms – The air trap absorbs up to 1 mL of air before the pump has to alarm
- Line Stays Closed – Backpriming clears air without disconnecting the patient, supporting infection control
- One Connector Standard – Clave needlefree connectors across the Plum portfolio simplify training and stocking
