Frequently asked questions
Does this kit include everything needed for setup?
Yes, this is a comprehensive kit designed for clinical or home setup. It includes the MIC-KEY feeding tube, insertion stylet, water-soluble lubricant, a continuous feed extension set, a bolus feed extension set, two syringes (6 mL and 35 mL), and a gauze pad.
Is this tube compatible with ENFit connectors?
Absolutely. This MIC-KEY kit features the industry-standard ENFit connection system, which is designed to prevent misconnections and ensure secure, reliable delivery of nutrition and medication.
Why is the low-profile design beneficial?
The low-profile design allows the tube to sit flush against the skin. This significantly reduces the visual footprint, makes the device less obtrusive, and greatly decreases the risk of accidental snagging or pulling compared to traditional tubes.
Is the material safe for long-term use?
Yes, the tube is constructed from medical-grade silicone, which is chosen specifically for its biocompatibility and durability during long-term enteral nutrition therapy.
Can this be used for both bolus and continuous feeding?
Yes. The kit conveniently includes two separate 12-inch extension sets: one specifically designed for continuous feeding and another for bolus feeding.
How can I verify the tube placement?
The tube is equipped with a radiopaque stripe. This allows for clear verification of the tube’s position through medical imaging during and after placement.
Is the internal retention system secure?
Yes, this MIC-KEY tube utilizes an inflatable internal balloon to ensure proper retention and security once placed within the stomach.
Is the distal tip designed for comfort?
Yes, the distal tip is recessed. This specialized design helps optimize fluid flow while simultaneously reducing potential irritation inside the stomach.
Is this product sterile?
Yes, this product is provided in a sterile blister pack, ensuring it is ready for immediate clinical or home-care use under sterile conditions.
Are the syringes included in the kit?
Yes, the kit comes with two necessary administration tools: a 6 mL luer slip syringe and a 35 mL ENFit enteral feeding syringe with clear volume markings for precise dosage.
