Cardinal Health Kangaroo Multifunctional Port With Safe Enteral Connections

The Cardinal Health Kangaroo Multifunctional Port is sold in cases containing 10 units (10/cs). This case quantity applies to all available configurations of the multifunctional port system.

The Cardinal Health Kangaroo Multifunctional Port uses a distinctive purple color coding to clearly and mandatorily denote its purpose for enteral feeding. This visual safety indicator is designed to prevent misconnections with lines intended for other pathways (like IV or respiratory lines), significantly enhancing patient safety.The system also features additional safety elements, including:

• Being DEHP-Free to meet modern material safety standards.
• Radiopaque tubing for clear visualization during diagnostic procedures.
• An internal Anti-Reflux Valve (ARV) design (present in select silicone sump variants) to help manage backflow.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Kangaroo Multifunctional Port is DEPH-Free.

This confirms the product adheres to modern safety standards, minimizing exposure concerns for both patients and clinicians.

This all-in-one closed port system also features several other safety and quality elements:

• Internal ARV (Anti-Reflux Valve) Design: Helps reduce clinician exposure.
• Radiopaque Tubing: Allows for clear visualization during necessary imaging procedures.
• Purple Color Coding: Distinctly identifies the system for enteral feeding, aiding in the prevention of misconnections.

Yes, the tubing for the Cardinal Health Kangaroo Multifunctional Port is radiopaque. This is a critical safety feature that allows healthcare professionals to clearly visualize the tubing’s placement during diagnostic procedures, such as X-rays. This ensures the correct and secure configuration of the port system for enteral access.

The Cardinal Health Kangaroo™ Multifunctional Port is intended for use in clinical settings such as:

• Hospitals
• Long-term care facilities
• Other healthcare environments requiring enteral feeding, suction, irrigation, and medication delivery.

The Cardinal Health Kangaroo Multifunctional Port is available in various configurations, all packaged in cases of 10 units (10/cs).

Key configurations offered include:

• Multifunctional Port with Single Lumen Adaptor
• Salem Sump with Multifunctional Port
• Silicone Salem Sump with Anti-Reflux Valve (ARV) Irrigation Multifunctional Port: This option provides an internal ARV design, specifically enhancing safety and efficacy during irrigation.

The Salem Sump and Silicone Sump configurations are available across a range of French (FR) sizes to suit different patient needs:

• 10FR
• 12FR
• 14FR
• 16FR
• 18FR

Yes, the distinctive purple color coding is a crucial safety feature of the Kangaroo Multifunctional Port.

• Enteral Identification: The purple color strictly adheres to the recognized standard for enteral access devices, clearly signifying that the port is exclusively intended for enteral use (feeding, suction, irrigation, and medication administration).
• Prevents Misconnections: This clear visual distinction helps clinicians rapidly identify the correct line, significantly minimizing the risk of accidental misconnections with non-enteral systems (like IV lines).
• Additional Safety Design: Beyond the color coding, the port incorporates Safe Enteral Connections and an internal Anti-Reflux Valve (ARV) design for enhanced security and improved clinician efficacy. The material is also DEPH-Free.

Yes, an Internal Anti-Reflux Valve (ARV) design is included in select variants of the Kangaroo Multifunctional Port system for enhanced safety.

This design feature helps to improve clinical procedures and safety by:

• Preventing Backflow: It minimizes the reflux of fluids and contents within the system.
• Enhancing System Integrity: The ARV supports the device’s function as an all-in-one closed port system, which is engineered to reduce clinician exposure during procedures like feeding, suction, and medication administration.

Certain configurations, such as the Silicone Salem Sump with Anti-Reflux Valve Irrigation Multifunctional Port, specifically incorporate this mechanism.

The Cardinal Health Kangaroo Multifunctional Port is an all-in-one closed system designed to consolidate all enteral access procedures into a single, secure port. This streamlines care and allows for four critical clinical functions:

• Feeding
• Suction
• Irrigation
• Medication administration

This system also integrates several key safety and design features:

• Enhanced Safety: The port utilizes Safe Enteral Connections and incorporates an internal Anti-Reflux Valve (ARV) design in certain silicone sump configurations to improve clinical safety and reduce exposure.
• Identification: The entire system is purple color coded to clearly distinguish it for enteral feeding applications, helping prevent misconnections.
• Visibility: The tubing is radiopaque for improved visualization during imaging and placement procedures.
• Material: The port is manufactured to be DEPH-Free.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Kangaroo Multifunctional Port is an all-in-one closed port system specifically engineered for enhanced safety and features Safe Enteral Connections.

Key safety features and materials include:

• Color-Coded: The system utilizes a distinctive purple color, universally recognized to indicate enteral use, minimizing the risk of accidental misconnections.
• Internal Anti-Reflux Valve (ARV): The internal valve design further enhances safety protocols during feeding and irrigation.
• Clinician Focus: The closed port system integrates multiple functions (feeding, suction, irrigation, medication), which reduces clinician exposure and complexity during procedures.
• DEPH-Free: The port is manufactured to be DEPH-Free, adhering to modern material safety standards.
