ENFit™ Connection System
The Kangaroo™ name is synonymous with safe, innovative nutritional delivery products. Recently, the International Standards Organization created ISO CD 80369-3 to help reduce the frequency of medical tubing misconnections. Many Kangaroo™ nutritional delivery products now include the ENFit™ enteral feeding connection, offering the added safety of an internationally accepted standard for safe enteral connections.
Description
The ENFit™ enteral feeding connector features a unique design to reduce the risk of enteral feeding tube misconnections and improve patient safety. The ENFit™ enteral feeding connector:
- Addresses “patient side” connections between feeding tubes, administration sets, medication, flush and bolus feeding syringes and other enteral devices
- Does not allow connectivity with any other connector for any other clinical use
- Provides a locking feature that signals the appropriate connection and stays in place
- Has a female connector end for use with administration sets and syringes that fit into a male patient-access feeding tube port
- Passes a rigorous validation process including computer aided design (CAD), human factors and usability testing as part of the pathway to ISO standards
