AMT ENFit Transition Adapter is designed to support a wide range of enteral connection requirements, offering reliable transition solutions as healthcare systems move toward ENFit standards. These adapters are engineered to enhance safety, usability, and compatibility while supporting smooth integration with existing enteral feeding systems. With advanced design features, they assist caregivers in maintaining secure connections and efficient feeding workflows across clinical and homecare environments.

Features

• Glow Green Technology.
• Winged Adapters for Dexterity.
• Hybrid Feed Set Options: To accommodate Blenderized Diets and Venting.
• Forwards and Backwards Compatibility ? Wide variety of ENFit Transition Adapters.

ENFit Transition Adapters: ENFit male transitional adapters are designed to attach to administration sets equipped with ENFit female connectors. This configuration supports compatibility between the ENFit system and existing enteral components as the market transitions to the updated standard.

Transition to Standard: The ENFit system has been developed to help reduce the risk of misconnections between unrelated delivery systems such as vascular, respiratory, and epidural devices. Both enteral administration sets and enteral device sets are designed to align with ENFit standards, supporting improved connection safety.

What is ENFit ?

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established a standardized design for enteral connectors known as the “ENFit Connector.” These connectors are intended to improve patient safety by reducing the risk of medical device misconnections. ENFit connectors are intentionally designed to be incompatible with Luer adapters commonly used in IV applications. While similar in appearance to a threaded lock system, ENFit connectors are larger in size and therefore incompatible with Luer connections. ENFit is a global patient safety initiative developed to ensure enteral feeding connectors are not compatible with connectors used for unrelated delivery systems such as tracheostomy tubes, IV lines, and catheters. Although misconnections are relatively uncommon, they can result in serious clinical consequences. The ENFit system was developed as part of the Stay Connected initiative with oversight from clinicians, manufacturers, and regulatory bodies.

What Does This Mean for You?

The primary change involves how the nutrition source connects to the feeding set, which then connects to the enteral feeding device. Straight and right-angle connectors that attach to low-profile feeding devices remain unchanged. The distal end of feed sets that connect directly to the device is not currently regulated under this standard.
