Chapters Transcript ENFit Hey there, have you heard about NFIT? NFIt is a new international type of connection designed for enteral feeding tubing supplies, which helps reduce any accidental misconnections with non-tube feeding connectors. It was created to help increase safety for tube feeding patients like you. NI connectors will not fit into other types of ports like an IV port, reducing the possibility of a mis connection. It was found that missed connections between different types of tubing lines was repeatedly happening and leading to safety issues for patients, which is how NFIT came to be. NFIT provides a locking feature that signals the appropriate connection and stays in place. It also helps to avoid formula from leaking during feeding, which we know can be both annoying and messy. We know that NFIT may sound confusing and scary because it is a change in the way you're used to connecting your tube feeding supplies, but it's not meant to be disrupted, and we're here at Cardinal Health Kangaroo to be by your side every. Step of the way to help with this change. You may not even realize, but the kangaroo pump set bags that you use today are already NFI. Simply keep the white transition connector or a Christmas tree at the tip of your pump set until you have an NFIT feeding tube. Then all you need to do is remove it. To connect your NFIT pump set with your NFIT feeding tube. Step one, remove white transition connector from pump set. Step 2, gently push and turn your pump set into your feeding tube for a secure connection. Do not over tighten. Step 3, proceed with feeding. Step 4, turn counterclockwise to disconnect. Here are some additional NFIT tips and tricks. 1, ensure that the connection and moat are cleaned daily. This can be done with a toothbrush and water. 2, if concerned about your NFIT tubing getting caught, you can secure the extra tubing with a clip and tape the tube. The kangaroo name is synonymous with safe, innovative enteral feeding products, which is why we have adopted the added safety of NFIT to our enteral feeding products.
