Avanos Medical NM-S100NCV - GRAVITYPRO Vented ENFit Syringes, Orange, Sterile, 100 mL, 40/Case
Avanos NM-S100NCV GRAVITYPRO Vented ENFit Syringes, Orange, Sterile
Closed system administration is the accepted clinical standard for the delivery of enteral feeds. Yet, the typical gravity feeding process is to use a standard syringe barrel and remove the plunger to facilitate flow. This method exposes the nutrition to open air, breaching the closed system standard.
NeoMed is committed to compliance with best practice recommendations from ASPEN, ADA, and the Joint Commission, which promote aseptic technique and the use of a closed system when possible. NeoMeds line of GravityPro Oral/Enteral (Legacy and ENFit) Syringes offers an optimal and easy-to-use clinical solution for gravity feeds.
Avanos NM-S100NCV GRAVITYPRO Vented ENFit Syringes, Orange, Sterile Features & Benefits
NEOMED GRAVITYPRO Syringes offer an easy-to-use clinical solution for gravity feeds. NEOMED* GRAVITYPRO Syringes feature an integrated hanger designed to eliminate the need to hand-hold while gravity-feeding and a vent zone designed to minimise exposure to air by allowing venting to occur while the plunger is in place. Alternatively, they will work with an enteral syringe pump for continuous feeds.
- Facilitates a nearly closed system and enhances aseptic technique by allowing the plunger to remain in the barrel during gravity feeds
- Eliminates the need for awkward and non-aseptic cellophane coverings
- Flat polypropylene plunger and silicone O-ring gasket for maximum nutrition delivery
- Ideal for gravity and pump feeds
- Pump compatible.
- This product is not made with natural rubber latex, DEHP, or BPA.

Avanos NM-S100NCV GRAVITYPRO Vented ENFit Syringes, Orange, Sterile Warnnings
- Do not autoclave or re-use syringe as this may increase risk of leakage or biological infection.
- Tip caps are a choking hazard. Keep out of reach of children.
Avanos NM-S100NCV GRAVITYPRO Vented ENFit Syringes, Orange, Sterile Precautions
- Always attach the syringe to a NeoMed feeding tube or extension set prior to moving the plunger gasket into the vent zone, as fluid will flow immediately when the plunger gasket is positioned in the vent zone.
- Do not invert the syringe when the plunger gasket is within the vent zone.
Avanos NM-S100NCV GRAVITYPRO Vented ENFit Syringes Feeding Preparation
- Follow physicians instructions or hospital protocol in opening package and use of contents. Use aseptic technique.
- Identify the vent zone on the syringe (See Figure 1)
- Fully depress the plunger before filling the syringe. Draw liquid (e.g. formula or mothers milk) into syringe. For accurate meas-urement, use the black leading edge of the gasket toward the plunger tip. The accuracy of measurements is 4% of expelled volume. Do not fill or attempt delivery past the maximum graduation. Do not position plunger gasket in the vent zone during preparation.
- To expel excess air bubbles, ensure the plunger is not positioned in the vent zone. Hold syringe with tip pointing up and tap side of syringe to cause bubbles to rise toward tip. Draw back slightly on plunger taking care to not draw back into the vent zone. Push plunger upward to eject air in barrel and tip. Repeat until bubbles are eliminated.
- Place the orange tip cap on the syringe and label as per hospital protocol (label not included).
Avanos NM-S100NCV GRAVITYPRO Vented ENFit Syringes Gravity Feeding
- Feeding should be administered via enteral-only connectors. This syringe is not designed for use with luer connections. To minimize potential for clogging, mix any supplements or additives thoroughly to achieve uniform consistency.
- Invert the syringe and remove tip cap. Draw back on the plunger until the plunger gasket is just above the vent zone.
- Attach syringe to a NeoMed Feeding Tube or Extension Set.
- Using the integrated hanger, hang the syringe. For maximum volume delivery, ensure the off-center tip is oriented to the opposite side of the integrated hanger.
- Holding the syringe barrel, gently pull back on the plunger until the plunger gasket is positioned within the vent zone. Fluid will immediately begin to flow.
- Plunger gasket may remain in the vent zone for the duration of the feed.
- After feeding, dispose of the syringe per hospital protocol and local or national regulations.
Avanos NM-S100NCV GRAVITYPRO Vented ENFit Syringes Manual and Pump Feeding
- Follow physicians instructions or hospital protocol for proper manual and pump feeding.
- Always ensure the plunger gasket is never in the vent zone when manual or pump feeding.
