Avanos Corflo 2 Port "Y" Extension Sets are designed for delivering enteral nourishment, water, and pharmaceuticals via a feeding tube.
Instructions
- Close the side access port.
- Attach the enteral administration set connector to the straight arm of the Y extension set and prime.
- Attach Y-set‘s distal ENFit Connector to the feeding tube.
- To irrigate, aspirate, or administer medications, stop formula administration and close the administration set clamp.
- Irrigate, aspirate, or administer medications via feeding tube through the access/side port of the Y-set using an enteral ENFit syringe
- Vigorous pressure should not be used during irrigation.
- It is recommended that the feeding tube be flushed with water whenever formula administration is interrupted and before and after medication administration.
- To assist with the prevention of feeding tube blockage, irrigate routinely – every four hours or per facility protocol.
- After use, close the access port and open the administration set tubing to allow formula flow.
- The Y-extension set is recommended to be changed every 1-2 weeks. If washing is desired, use soap and warm water, then rinse thoroughly.
Interconnectability to Non-Enteral Medical Devices
ENFit satisfies the ISO standard (80369) for small-bore enteral devices. However, ENFit-designed connectors cannot overcome all medical misconnections, and certain connector types of the following may present potential misconnections to ENFit connectors. These may be:
- Suction Exit & Saline Installation Ports on Endotracheal Suction Systems
- Respiratory circuit filtration connectors
- Oxygen tubing connectors (as on Manual Resuscitation Devices)
- IV Solution Bag spike port (such as NaCl, Ringer's Solution, etc.)
- Pericardiocentesis Kit sample/drain port
- Peritoneal Dialysis Manifold Set Connectors
- Cones & sockets of ISO 5356-1:2004 & ISO 5356-2:2004
- Temperature sensor connectors & mating ports of ISO 8185:2007
- Oxygen nipples as defined in EN 13544-2:2002
Note: Use or misuse of a Y-extension set may lead to infrequently occurring factors, including aspiration or airway obstruction, contamination, delays or insufficient medication or nutrition, tissue irritation or necrosis, allergic reaction, or patient discomfort.
Warning: Not for IV use. For enteral use only. Not for infusion of parenteral solutions. Male-ended syringes are not compatible with this product.
