NeoMed Silicone Nasogastric Feeding Tube with ENFit Connector

NeoMed Silicone Nasogastric Feeding Tube with ENFit Connector is developed to support gentle enteral feeding while helping reduce tissue irritation commonly linked to oversized side ports or unfinished distal tips. The distal end is designed to remain smooth, open, and well-formed, while exposed surfaces are structured for accessibility and efficient cleaning. Attention to hub configuration and internal flow pathways helps limit pooling that may contribute to bacterial transfer, making this silicone feeding tube a dependable option for neonatal and pediatric nutritional delivery in clinical environments.

Features

• BPA-free materials selected for patient safety.
• ENFit compliant connector to support standardized enteral connections.
• Three offset side ports are precision drilled to provide smooth, atraumatic edges.
• Soft medical-grade silicone polymers support developmental care and clinical performance.
• Cost-effective design validated for indwell time up to 30 days, helping reduce repeat placements.
• Open the distal tip without sharp edges or concealed cavities to help limit residual colonization.

Intended Users: This device is designed for use by trained healthcare professionals.

Patient Target Group: This device is intended for patients of all age groups requiring nasogastric or orogastric enteral feeding.

Indications for Use: This product is indicated for neonatal and pediatric patients to provide nutrition via nasal or oral gastric placement and is not intended for use beyond 30 days.

Contraindications: This device is designed to connect only with ENFit® compatible connectors. It is not intended for use longer than 30 days or for patients with congenital gastrointestinal anomalies above the stomach that require surgical intervention.

Residual Risks and Side Effects: While outcomes vary depending on the clinical procedure, mitigations have been implemented to help minimize the following potential risks associated with NEOMED usage.

Nasogastric Feeding Tubes and associated NEOMED Extension Sets: abnormal reproductive development, allergic or systemic toxic reaction, over or under delivery of medication or nutrition, skin or tissue irritation involving the trachea, vocal cords, or gastrointestinal tract, infection, fever, sepsis, nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, delayed or prolonged therapy, pneumothorax, choking, aspiration, peritonitis, gastroenteritis, laceration, pain, and potential long-term carcinogenic or mutagenic effects.

MR Information

MR Safe

The NEOMED Enteral Feeding Tube contains only nonconducting, nonmetallic, and nonmagnetic components and presents no known hazards in MR imaging environments.

Clinical Benefits: Nasogastric and/or orogastric feeding tubes facilitate delivery of nutrition, fluids, and medications to the stomach through the nose or mouth.

Device Lifetime: Device performance has been validated for use up to 30 days.

Recommended Placement Procedure

Insertion Measurement: measure from the tip of the nose to the earlobe and then from the earlobe to midway between the xyphoid process and the umbilicus. Centimeter markings assist with placement.

A strip of sterile tape may be placed at the intended insertion depth for reference.

Insert the tube slowly into the mouth or nose, allowing the infant to swallow as advancement continues.

Advance to the predetermined length.

Precautions: Avoid unintended tracheal placement or insufficient insertion that leaves the proximal side port outside the stomach. Secure the tube before checking placement.

Verify Feeding Tube Placement: Confirm and document positioning per facility protocol, such as chest radiograph or aspiration with pH testing. Reposition or remove if uncertain.

Recommended Maintenance

Inspect tube position before each administration using catheter markings.

Verify placement per hospital protocol.

Flush with sterile water before and after administration.

Seal with tethered closure when not in use.

Recommended Feeding Tube Removal

Flush with 0.5cc–1cc sterile water.

Plug or clamp during withdrawal to help minimize aspiration risk.

Withdraw gently and discard according to institutional or regulatory requirements.

Document removal.

Disposal: Follow local, state, and national regulations for disposal of potentially biohazardous components and accessories.
