2 hrs confidence: 
drip / infusion set present / on hand Explanation: 'Tippa' seems to be a commonly used colloquial name for tiputuslaite (infusion set) See e.g. here: http://www.geocities.com/odotus/synnkert/synnkert_031.html 'Paikalla' usually means 'present, on hand', but it can (but rarely)also mean 'installed', whereas plural expression 'paikoillaan' would unambiguously mean 'installed'. |

peer agreement (net): +1IV in situ Explanation: I think that this refers to an intravenous drip that is in situ (Lat. "in place"). Still, if you have more context to provide, that would really be helpful.
