Benefits of ISO Standardization to the ENFit® Enteral Feeding Connector
This tip sheet is an effffort by GEDSA members to facilitate a smooth transition from legacy to ENFit® enteral connectors. This is intended to have a clinical focus, but you will also see content about education and communication. We authors are nurses who have been involved with successful ENFit® transitions.
Dispelling 6 Myths About ENFIT® Enteral Feeding ConnectorsDevices Meet Global ISO Standard That Improves Patient Safety
Tubing misconnections continue to cause severe patient injury and death, since tubes with different functions can easily be connected using luer connectors, or connections can be “rigged” (constructed) using adapters, tubing or catheters. This is why new ISO (International Organization for Standardization) tubing connector standards are being developed for manufacturers.
