How to use Avanos Sterile Enteral Syringe?
Filling the Syringe Using a Medication Straw
- Gather the Supplies You Will Need:
- Medication bottle
- ENFit Medication Straw
- ENFit Syringes
- Water for Flushing
- Wash hands.
- Connect the ENFit syringe to the medication straw.
- Put the straw into the medication bottle.
- Draw up the medication dose.
- Take the straw off the syringe and gently tap the straw to remove any medication. The extra drug lost in the medication straw may cause more medication to be wasted than usual.
- When using a low-dose tip syringe, make sure there are no air bubbles in the syringe. During the filling process, carefully tap or flick the syringe to remove the air bubble.
Filling the Syringe Using a Bottle Fill Cap
- Determine if you have access to a medication bottle ENFit compatible fill cap. Work with your medical device supplier or pharmacy to determine available options for the ENFit system.
- With the ENFit fill cap attached, connect the ENFit syringe. Gently turn the medication bottle upside down. Pull and push back the syringe plunger to cycle it once or more (this helps to eliminate air bubbles). Then withdraw the desired medication dose. When ready, return the bottle to its upright position and remove the syringe.
Filling the syringe from a medication cup
- If a medication straw is unavailable, put the syringe's tip into the medication cup after cycling the syringe (pulling and pushing the plunger back and forth) and gently pull up on the syringe plunger to fill the syringe.
- Remove air bubbles and then flick the syringe or wipe off the end of the syringe to remove excess medication in the moat tip.
- If there is excess fluid in the “moat” of the syringe tip, it is recommended to tap/flick/wipe that excess fluid away.
