From medical notes.

Is this something like 'local drip'?

IV 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.

drip / infusion set present / on hand

Explanation:
'Tippa' seems to be a commonly used colloquial name for tiputuslaite (infusion set)

See e.g. here:

'Paikalla' usually means 'present, on hand', but it can (but rarely)also mean 'installed', whereas plural expression 'paikoillaan' would unambiguously mean 'installed'.
