Frequently asked questions
Does this kit work for both bolus and continuous feeding?
Yes, the kit is designed for versatility and includes both a continuous feed extension set and a bolus feed extension set, each featuring ENFit connectors for secure and reliable delivery.
Are the connectors compliant with modern safety standards?
Absolutely. This MIC-KEY kit is fully ENFit compliant, which ensures compatibility with contemporary global safety standards for nutritional and medication delivery systems.
What is the benefit of the low-profile design?
The low-profile design allows the tube to sit flush against the skin. This significantly improves patient comfort by being more discreet and reducing the risk of the tube snagging on clothing or other objects.
Is the material safe for long-term use?
Yes, this tube is manufactured from high-quality, medical-grade silicone. Silicone is the industry standard for these applications due to its biocompatibility, flexibility, and durability for long-term enteral nutrition.
How does the tube stay securely in place?
The system features an inflatable internal retention balloon that keeps the tube securely positioned within the stomach. Additionally, the lock-and-key style connection helps prevent any accidental disconnections during use.
Does the kit come ready for immediate use?
Yes, this is a comprehensive kit that includes everything needed for initial placement and daily operation, such as an insertion stylet, lubricating gel, gauze pads, syringes, and extension sets.
Is it easy to verify the tube position via imaging?
Yes, the tube includes a radiopaque stripe. This allows for easy visibility and confirmation of the tube’s position during clinical imaging procedures.
Does the design help minimize tissue irritation?
Yes, the feeding tube is designed with a recessed distal tip, which is specifically engineered to help minimize tissue irritation inside the stomach.
What syringes are included in the package?
The kit includes two types of syringes to cover different maintenance and delivery needs: a 6 mL Luer slip syringe and a 35 mL ENFit enteral feeding syringe.
Is this kit BAA or TAA compliant?
