Cleaning and Maintenance

To maintain hygiene, the syringe should be washed immediately after use with warm soapy water, rinsed with cold water, and air-dried. The plunger should be removed and cleaned separately. Avoid using boiling water, dishwashers, or abrasive materials for cleaning. Proper storage involves keeping the syringe in a clean, dry container with a lid.

Inspection and Lifespan

Regular inspection is recommended to check for residue, damage, or illegible markings. The syringe should be discarded if any part is damaged or if the plunger becomes difficult to move. For immunocompromised or infant patients, sterile water or a cold sterilizing solution may be used as needed. The recommended maximum use is up to 7 days or 20–40 washes.

Compliance and Disposal

The syringe is CE marked and designed to prevent misconnections with non-enteral systems. It should only connect with ENFit-compatible devices and is not intended to be sterilized or reprocessed. Proper disposal should follow manufacturer’s instructions, hospital protocols, or local regulations, as the syringe is not recyclable.

Storage Recommendations

Store the syringe in a closed, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture, heat, and corrosive gases. Ensure that the syringe remains easy to handle and free from stiffness for optimal performance. This thoughtful design and comprehensive feature set make the Enfit Enteral Syringe Reusable a trustworthy choice for enteral feeding needs.
