Qosina Adds 40 Enteral Feeding Connectors That
Meet The ISO 80369-3 Standard
Ronkonkoma,
NY – May 25, 2016 – Qosina is pleased to announce the addition of 40 enteral
feeding connectors that meet the ISO 80369-3 standard and will not mate with the
ISO 594-1 and ISO 594-2 luers. Qosina is offering ENFit™ male and female
connectors, caps, stepped adapters, Y connectors, stopcocks and syringes, as
well as the ENFit to ENLock adapters, ENPlus cross spikes and universal bottle
adapters for the ENPlus cross spike. All of these parts have been added in
various sizes and materials. Qosina will continue to add more ENFit connectors
to meet the needs of your enteral project. Please visit our ENFit section at
www.qosina/ENFit. Qosina can modify any existing component to meet your needs or
build new tooling to meet your exact requirements.
Enteral is the first clinical application to make the transition to new, safer
connectors. The New Enteral Feeding Connectors have been designed to improve
patient safety and reduce the risk of enteral feeding misconnections. The new
standard has changed the configuration of the male and female connectors. These
enteral connectors are larger and will not allow connectivity with the male luer
or female luer connectors that meet the ISO 594 standards or any other
connectors for any other clinical use. Administration sets and syringes have a
female connector end that fit into a male patient-access feeding tube port.
The Global Enteral Device Suppliers Association (GEDSA.org) was formed to
facilitate the transition to the new type of connectors and has created the
brand ENFit to represent the new ISO 80369-3 standard.Qosina is actively
researching the upcoming changes and is a member of GEDSA. Qosina will be adding
compliant components to its extensive line as the standards become approved. To
