It is intended for use in patients who require intermittent or continuous tube feedings via the nasogastric or nasointestinal pathway. Options include sterile/non-sterile, weighted/non-weighted, and with/without stylet.
Avanos 20-9368 CORFLO Nasogastric/Nasointestinal Feeding Tube With Stylet Features
- Weighted/Non-Weighted
- With and without stylet
- ENFit, Universal, and Anti-IV proximal connectors
- Anti-clog bolus
- CM Markings
- MRI conditional once stylet is removed
- Flow-Through Stylet
- Radiopaque
- Water Activated Lubricated Tip & Internal Lumen (stylet tubes only)
The Avanos CORFLO NG/NI feeding tubes are available in a wide variety of adult, pediatric and neonatal sizes. Their polyurethane construction makes them excellent for long-term intubation and offers a larger lumen than PVC tubes and Silicone tubes of the same French size.
Designed to prevent feeding tube misconnections, CORFLO NG/NI feeding tubes with ENFit connectors feature a clear connector housing for visual inspection of connection with administration sets, as well the inspection of cleanliness before, during and after use. In line with National Patient Safety Agency guidance CORFLO NG/NI tubes are fully radiopaque along their entire length, are CE marked and have external visual length markings.

Indications for Use
The AVANOS CORFLO Feeding Tube is intended for use in those patients who require intermittent or continuous tube feedings via the nasogastric or nasoenteric route.
Tube Insertion
This feeding tube is to be inserted by trained and competent individuals or clinicians, following institution/facility/hospital protocols.
- Explain procedure to patient if applicable.
- 2. Position patient in sitting or Fowlers position as tolerated.
Warning: The patient should not lean forward, nor should the head and neck be extended.
Caution: Do not use a stylet if the tube is not packaged with one, as the stylet may exit the distal tip. - Remove tube from package. Close access ports.
- Measure length of tube to be inserted to ensure that tip/bolus enters the gastric region. Place exit port of tube at tip of nose. Extend tube to earlobe, then to xiphoid process (Fig 8). Use the printed centimeter marks on the tube to aid intubation and check for tube migration.
Warning: Premeasurement of tubing length is essential. - Do not insert excess. Occlusion may result from kinking of tube.
- Determine preferred nostril for insertion. Provide cooperativepatient with glass of water and straw.
- Prior to insertion, activate lubricant on tip by dipping in water.
- Direct tube posteriorly, aiming tip parallel to nasal septum and superior surface of hard palate. Advance tube to nasopharynx, allowing tip to seek its own passage. As patient swallows sips of water, advance tube through esophagus into stomach with gentle motion.
- Utilize printed centimeter marks on the tubes to aid insertion.
- Confirm tube position and integrity per institution/facility/hospital protocol (e.g. pH measurement, X-ray, etc.).
- For tubes packaged with a stylet: After tube position in the stomach is confirmed, remove stylet by flushing tube through the side port with up to 10 ml of water to activate internal lubricant immediately prior to stylet removal.
- Secure tube per institution protocol.
Tube Maintenance
- Follow your institution/facility/hospital protocol or clinicians order.
- It is recommended the tube be irrigated every 4 hours with up to 20 ml of water (up to 10 ml for infants or children) before and after medication administration or when feeding formula is interrupted.
Warning: Vigorous syringe force should not be used to irrigate, administer liquids or unblock the tube. - The feeding tube should be monitored, regularly assessed, and replaced when clinically indicated based on functionality and patient condition.

Ability to Connect to Non-Enteral Medical Devices
The ENFit connectors were designed to prevent misconnections between enteral devices and other devices used in various medical applications. However, the design of the ENFit connector cannot overcome all chances of misconnection. The following connector types are potential misconnections for the ENFit connector (feeding/ medication access port) of this enteral feeding tube:
- Suction ports on Endotracheal Suction Systems
- Respiratory circuit filtration connectors
- Oxygen inlet connectors for Resuscitation Devices
- Baxter IV Solution Bag ports (such as NaCl, Ringers Solution, etc.)
- Sample ports on drainage bags
- Peritoneal Dialysis connectors
- Cones & sockets of ISO 5356-1:2004 & ISO 5356-2:2004
- Temperature sensor connectors & mating ports of ISO 8185:2007
- Oxygen nipples as defined in EN 13544-2:2002
CORFLO NG/NI feeding tubes have satisfied biocompatibility testing as a device for long-term use per ISO 10993-1.
Avanos 20-9368 CORFLO Nasogastric/Nasointestinal Feeding Tube MRI Safety Information
Non-clinical testing demonstrated that the weighted CORFLO Enteral Feeding Tubes are MR Conditional. A patient with this device can be scanned safely immediately after placement under the following conditions:
- Static magnetic field of 3-Tesla or less
- Spatial gradient magnetic field of 720-Gauss/cm or less
- MR system reported whole body averaged SAR of 3.0-W/kg
(i.e., associated with a calorimetry measured value of 2.8- W/kg) Under the conditions described above using a transmit/receive RF body coil the CORFLO Enteral Feeding Tube produced the highest temperature change of +1.5 ?C during MRI performed for 15-min in the 3-Tesla (3-Tesla/ 128-MHz, Excite, Software G3.0-052B, General Electric Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI) MR system.
Artifact Information: MR image quality may be compromised if the area of interest is relatively close to the position of the CORFLO Enteral Feeding Tube. Therefore, optimization of MR imaging parameters to compensate for the presence of this device may be necessary.
