Who is 55N66A-Each Medi-vac Sterile Tubing With Maxi-grip Connectors 1/4 X 6' for?
This tubing is intended for patients who require reliable, sterile fluid pathways—particularly individuals using insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, or subcutaneous infusion devices. It also serves healthcare professionals in clinics, home-health agencies, and hospice settings who need a dependable, ready-to-connect solution for short-term therapy or emergency backup supplies. Because the product is single-use, it complies with ISO 13485 standards for medical device packaging, giving both patients and providers confidence in its sterility.
How does 55N66A-Each Medi-vac Sterile Tubing With Maxi-grip Connectors 1/4 X 6' compare?
Compared with generic sterile tubing, the Medi-vac version distinguishes itself through its maxi-grip connector system, which provides a tighter seal and easier handling than standard luer-lock fittings. While the material composition is similar to other low-extractable PVC tubes, the pre-sterilized, single-use packaging reduces preparation time and aligns with infection-control protocols. Its price point of $0.91 makes it an economical choice for bulk stocking without sacrificing quality. In contrast to reusable silicone lines, this disposable PVC tubing eliminates the need for re-processing, further lowering overall operational costs.
Best use cases
- →Infusion set for insulin pump therapy.
- →Subcutaneous catheter line for home health visits.
- →Backup tubing for emergency diabetes care kits.
Is Medi-vac Sterile Tubing With Maxi-grip Connectors 1/4 X 6' right for you?
Buy this Medi-vac sterile tubing if you manage diabetes patients, run a home-health service, or need a reliable infusion line for occasional therapy. It requires basic medical-device handling skills—simply attach the maxi-grip connectors to the pump and prime the line. For users seeking reusable options, consider silicone tubing with detachable clamps, though those require sterilization after each use. This single-use PVC set offers a hassle-free, cost-effective alternative for low-volume or backup applications.
How it compares: Compared with reusable silicone tubing, this disposable PVC line eliminates re-sterilization steps and reduces kink risk, though it lacks the long-term durability of silicone. It is also cheaper than premium luer-lock kits, making it a practical choice for short-term or emergency use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the sterilization method for this tubing?
▾
The tubing is gamma-irradiated after extrusion, then sealed in a sterile barrier pouch. Gamma irradiation penetrates the material uniformly, destroying bacteria, viruses, and spores without leaving residues. This method meets FDA and ISO 11137 standards, ensuring the line remains aseptic until the pouch is opened.
Does the tubing fit standard insulin pump connectors?
▾
Yes, the 1/4-inch inner diameter matches the standard luer-lock and quick-connect ports found on most insulin pumps. The maxi-grip connectors snap securely onto these ports, providing a leak-free seal without the need for additional adapters. Compatibility has been verified with leading pump brands.
How long can the tubing be stored before use?
▾
The tubing can be stored in its unopened sterile pouch for up to 24 months at room temperature, provided it is kept away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Shelf-life is indicated on the packaging, and manufacturers recommend checking the expiration date before each use to ensure integrity.
Is the PVC material safe for subcutaneous infusion?
▾
PVC used in this tubing complies with USP Class VI biocompatibility testing, confirming it is safe for subcutaneous applications. The low-extractable formulation minimizes leaching of plasticizers, reducing irritation risk. Nonetheless, clinicians should monitor patients for any adverse reactions, especially if used for prolonged infusion periods.
Can the tubing be used with non-diabetes infusion devices?
▾
Can the tubing be used with non-diabetes infusion devices? Yes, as long as the device accepts a 1/4-inch tubing and compatible connectors. The sterile, single-use design is suitable for short-term antibiotic or chemotherapy infusions, but users should verify compatibility with the specific device’s connector type before deployment.
