Pivot 1.5 Cal is peptide-based complete, balanced therapeutic nutrition for short- or long-term tube feeding for metabolically stressed surgical, trauma, burn, or head and neck cancer patients who could benefit from an immune-modulating enteral formula. For tube feeding. For sole-source or supplemental nutrition. Use under medical supervision.
Features
- Halal.
- Gluten-free.
- Volume: 33.8 oz.
- Flavor: Unflavored
- Suitable for lactose intolerance.
- Provides 1.5 Cal/mL - concentrated calories for fluid-restricted patients.
- 1950 calories (1300 mL) provides at least 100% of the RDIs for 25 essential vitamins and minerals.
- Provides very high protein (93.8 g/L, 25% of calories) to support protein synthesis, tissue repair and wound healing.
- Elevated antioxidants vitamins C and E, selenium and beta-carotene to help reduce tissue and cell damage due to oxidative stress.
Immune support:
- Glutamine (inherent) (7.6 g/L) for GI-tract integrity and energy for immune cells.
- Arginine (13 g/L, 3.5% of calories) to support proliferation and function of immune cells.
- Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, 2.6 g/L; DHA, 1.1 g/L) to help modulate inflammation and support immune function.
Tolerance:
- Hydrolyzed, peptide-based protein system.
- Advanced blend of hydrolyzed protein, structured lipid, and prebiotics (scFOS) to promote absorption and tolerance.
- MCT/fish oil structured lipid, a well-tolerated7,8 and absorbed8 next generation fat to promote absorption of fatty acids.
- 1.8 g of scFOS/8 fl oz (7.5 g/L). scFOS are prebiotic soluble fibers that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon.
Precautions
- Not for IV use.
- Not suitable for people with galactosemia.

Instructions for Use:
All medical foods, regardless of type of administration system, require careful handling because they can support microbial growth. Follow these instructions for clean technique and proper setup to reduce the potential for microbial contamination.
NOTE: Failure to follow the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE increases the potential for microbial contamination and may reduce hangtime.
- Administer product at room temperature.
- THOROUGHLY wash hands with soap and water before handling container or feeding set.
- Turn container upside down and SHAKE VIGOROUSLY, using a twisting motion for at least 10 seconds.
- DO NOT touch any part of the container or feeding set that comes into contact with the formula.
- When initiating feeding, follow physician's instructions. Adjust flow rate and volume according to patient's condition and tolerance.
- Additional fluid requirements should be met by giving water between or after feedings or when flushing the tube.
For Use with Enteral Feeding Pumps:
- Remove dust cover from RTH Safety Screw Cap.
- Remove dust cover from feeding set connector.
- Insert feeding set connector into port of RTH Safety Screw Cap and completely pierce foil.
- Turn connector collar clockwise until it is securely fastened.
- Close clamp on set before inverting container.
- Invert container and suspend, using hanging ring on bottom of container.
Precautions
- Follow directions for use provided by manufacturer of feeding sets.
- Unless a shorter hang time is specified by the set manufacturer, hang product for up to 48 hours after initial connection when clean technique and only one new set are used. Otherwise hang for no more than 24 hours.
