Frequently asked questions
Is this tubing safe for neonatal patients?
Yes, patient safety is a priority. The tubing is constructed from USP Class VI PVC, which is specifically formulated to be DEHP-free and BPA-free, ensuring it meets high safety standards for vulnerable pediatric and neonatal populations.
Does this set help maintain a closed system?
Absolutely. This set is engineered for maximum hygiene through two specific features: - Tethered Plug Closure: The female inlet connector features a tethered plug to prevent exposure to ambient air. - Proximal Plug: Allows clinicians to maintain a strictly closed system between feeding sessions, significantly reducing the risk of contamination.
What is the primary benefit of the tethered plug?
The tethered plug provides superior protection against environmental contaminants compared to standard open-ended sets. Because it is tethered to the connector, it remains readily available to seal the system securely at all times.
Are the materials medical-grade?
Yes, the NeoConnect Extension Set is a clinical-grade accessory. The tubing is manufactured to meet USP Class VI standards, ensuring that the material is biocompatible and suitable for clinical enteral nutrition therapy.
Is this compatible with standard feeding tubes?
This set is specifically designed as a large-bore extension for nasogastric (NG) and orogastric (OG) enteral feeding tubes. It serves as an essential component to extend the reach of these tubes while maintaining system integrity.
Why is the tubing colored orange?
The vibrant orange color is a standardized visual indicator for enteral applications. This helps clinical staff clearly identify the set and ensures proper connection protocols are followed, distinguishing it from other medical tubing systems.
Is the set sterile upon arrival?
Yes, every NeoConnect Large Bore ENFit Extension Set is delivered sterile to ensure it is ready for immediate clinical use, adhering to rigorous medical hygiene requirements.
Is the tubing flexible for patient movement?
The tubing is designed to be highly flexible and durable, allowing for ease of handling in a clinical setting while remaining robust enough to withstand the demands of pediatric enteral nutrition.
Does the set help minimize contamination risks?
Yes, by utilizing both the proximal plug and the tethered inlet plug, the system is designed to minimize external contamination throughout the entire feeding process, from the connection point to the tube itself.
Is this product built for specialized clinical use?
Yes, the NeoConnect series is developed by NeoMed specifically for neonatal and pediatric enteral nutrition therapy. Every aspect of its design, from the USP Class VI materials to the secure ENFit connectors, is focused on the unique needs of a clinical medical environment.
