Description
Medicina ENFit pH Indicator Strips are designed for bedside pH testing of human gastric aspirate to help verify enteral feeding tube position. In line with NPSA guidance that pH testing is the first-line check for tube placement, these strips provide a quick, simple way to assess aspirate acidity at the point of care. They are CE marked specifically for testing human gastric aspirate and are suitable for use in both adult and paediatric settings.
Key Features
- Buffered against water to reduce interference from moisture, helping maintain clear, reliable colour development.
- Each strip includes its own built-in colour chart, eliminating the need for a separate reference chart or box during checks.
- Designed for use with ENFit enteral syringes to test aspirated gastric contents.
- Suitable for a range of clinical environments, including wards, critical care, and community settings.
How to Use
- Aspirate gastric contents using an ENFit enteral syringe, following local protocol.
- Apply a small amount of aspirate to the reactive area of the strip.
- Allow the colour to develop and compare directly with the built-in colour chart on the same strip.
- Record the pH result and use it alongside clinical assessment and local policies to help verify tube placement.
Packaging Options
- Box of 100 strips
- Box of 200 strips
Cautions and Compliance
- Do not use if the strip is wet.
- Use in conjunction with clinical assessment and local protocols; pH testing should form part of a broader verification process.
- CE marked for testing human gastric aspirate.
