McKesson ENFit Y-Port Enteral Extension Set - Right Angle Connector, ISO 80369-3, 12 Inch, Non-Sterile

ISO-Compliant ENFit Y-Port Extension Set for Safe, Efficient Enteral Feeding

The McKesson ENFit Y-Port Enteral Extension Set serves as an essential connection accessory for gastric feeding systems, enabling safe, controlled administration of nutrition, hydration, and medication through button-style gastrostomy tubes and low-profile feeding devices. Engineered with dual ENFit ports and a right-angle G-tube connector, this 12-inch extension set adheres to ISO 80369-3 international safety standards, significantly reducing the risk of dangerous tubing misconnections between enteral and intravenous systems while facilitating seamless continuous feeding, effortless flushing, and hassle-free medication administration without disconnection.

Advanced ENFit Safety Connector Technology

This extension set incorporates the latest ENFit connector standard designed to prevent life-threatening medical errors:

• ISO 80369-3 Compliance: Meets international safety standards specifically developed to prevent accidental connections between enteral feeding systems and intravenous lines, eliminating the risk of fatal IV misconnections
• Universal ENFit Compatibility: Connects seamlessly to ENFit-compliant feeding tubes, syringes, pump sets, and nutrition delivery systems from all major manufacturers
• Secure Lock Connector System: Features a proprietary secure lock mechanism compatible with any gastric feeding device equipped with a connection ring, including MIC-Key and MINI One low-profile gastrostomy feeding tubes
• Right-Angle G-Tube Connector: Ergonomic 90-degree connector design reduces strain on the feeding tube insertion site, minimizes accidental dislodgement, and provides comfortable positioning against the patient's abdomen
• Dual Y-Port Configuration: Two strategically positioned ENFit ports enable simultaneous or sequential medication administration and flushing without interrupting continuous feeding or requiring disconnection

Key Features & Clinical Benefits

• 12-Inch Optimal Length: Provides sufficient reach for comfortable patient positioning and caregiver access while minimizing excess tubing that could kink, tangle, or create tripping hazards
• Hollow Tube Construction: Clear, flexible tubing allows visual confirmation of fluid flow and early detection of blockages or air bubbles during feeding procedures
• Integrated Flow Clamp: Precision roller or slide clamp enables accurate flow rate control for gravity feeding or manual bolus administration
• Chemical-Free Construction: Not made with natural rubber latex, bisphenol A (BPA), diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), or phthalate plasticizers, ensuring patient safety and eliminating exposure to harmful chemicals during long-term enteral nutrition
• Non-Sterile Convenience: Ready-to-use non-sterile design is appropriate for routine enteral feeding applications, reducing costs compared to sterile alternatives while maintaining appropriate hygiene standards
• Reusable Design: Durable construction supports multiple uses with proper cleaning and maintenance, providing cost-effective feeding access for home care and long-term facility patients
• Easy Connection & Disconnection: Intuitive twist-lock mechanism allows quick, secure attachment and removal without tools or excessive force

Patient Safety & Misconnection Prevention

This ENFit extension set plays a critical role in preventing serious medical errors:

• Enteral-IV Incompatibility: ENFit connectors are physically incompatible with luer-lock IV connectors, making it impossible to accidentally connect enteral feeding solutions to intravenous access lines
• ASPEN Guidelines Compliance: Meets American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) recommendations for safe enteral feeding practices
• Joint Commission Standards: Supports Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals related to tubing and catheter connection safety
• Error Reduction: Eliminates the risk of fatal complications from inadvertent IV administration of enteral nutrition formulas
• Visual Differentiation: Distinct ENFit connector design provides immediate visual confirmation of enteral versus IV connections

Ideal Applications & Clinical Settings

This versatile enteral extension set is essential for diverse patient populations and care environments:

• Home Enteral Nutrition: Patients receiving long-term tube feeding at home for chronic conditions, neurological disorders, or cancer treatment
• Pediatric Feeding: Children with congenital abnormalities, failure to thrive, cerebral palsy, or swallowing disorders requiring gastrostomy tube nutrition
• Geriatric Care: Elderly patients in nursing homes or assisted living facilities with dysphagia, dementia, or stroke-related feeding difficulties
• Post-Surgical Nutrition: Patients recovering from head and neck surgery, esophageal surgery, or gastrointestinal procedures requiring temporary or permanent feeding tube support
• Neurological Conditions: Individuals with ALS, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or traumatic brain injury affecting swallowing function
• Cancer Care: Oncology patients experiencing treatment-related dysphagia, mucositis, or cachexia requiring nutritional support
• Hospital Inpatient Units: Medical-surgical floors, intensive care units, and rehabilitation departments managing patients with feeding tubes
• Hospice & Palliative Care: Comfort-focused nutrition and hydration for end-of-life patients with feeding tubes

Step-by-Step Usage Instructions

For safe and effective enteral feeding, follow these detailed application steps:

Connection Procedure:

1. Prepare the Feeding Device: Remove the cap from the G-button or gastrostomy feeding device to expose the anti-reflux valve
2. Align the Connector: Position the extension set's secure lock connector (feeder) so the connecting tooth aligns with the groove in the G-button's connection ring
3. Insert and Lock: Once the tooth is inside the groove, press gently on the feeder and rotate half a turn clockwise until you feel and hear a secure click
4. Verify Connection: Gently tug on the extension set to confirm it's properly locked—if the feeder is not secure, leakage may occur during feeding
5. Confirm Enteral Port: Visually verify that the device is connected to an enteral feeding port and NOT to an IV line or IV access point
6. Prime the Extension Set: Flush the extension tubing with warm water (10mL for adults or 3-5mL for children) to remove air and confirm patency
7. Test Flow: Ensure flushing is easy and smooth without resistance—difficulty may indicate kinking or blockage

Post-Feeding Care:

1. Flush After Feeding: After completing enteral feeding or decompression, flush the extension set with 5-10mL of warm water to prevent formula buildup and clogging
2. Medication Administration: Use the Y-port for liquid medication delivery, flushing before and after each medication dose
3. Disconnection: To remove the extension set, gently turn the feeder counter-clockwise until the connecting tooth aligns with the groove, then pull straight out
4. Clean and Store: Rinse the extension set thoroughly with warm water, allow to air dry, and store in a clean, dry location for reuse

Cleaning & Maintenance Guidelines

To maintain extension set performance and prevent complications:

• Flush the extension set with warm water before and after each feeding or medication administration
• Use a 60mL catheter-tip syringe for flushing to generate adequate pressure without damaging the tubing
• Clean the extension set daily with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely
• Inspect regularly for cracks, discoloration, stiffness, or damage—replace immediately if compromised
• Replace the extension set according to manufacturer recommendations or facility protocols (typically every 1-4 weeks depending on use)
• Never use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh chemicals that may degrade the plastic material
• Store in a clean, dry container away from direct sunlight and heat sources

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Difficulty Flushing: Check for kinks in the tubing, ensure clamp is fully open, verify G-button is patent
• Leakage at Connection: Confirm secure lock connector is properly twisted and locked into place
• Connector Won't Lock: Ensure connecting tooth is aligned with groove before rotating; check for damage to connection ring
• Resistance During Feeding: Flush with warm water to dissolve formula buildup; replace if blockage persists
