Description

The MIC-KEY Low Profile Jejunal Tube with ENFit Extension Sets is an advanced medical device designed for patients requiring long-term enteral nutrition and gastric decompression. Suitable for both pediatric and adult patients, this system offers a discreet and comfortable solution for those needing simultaneous jejunal feeding.

Key Features

• Low-Profile Design: The tube's "button" style sits close to the skin, enhancing comfort and reducing visibility.
• Balloon Retention: Secured internally by an inflatable balloon, ensuring stable placement.
• External Bolster: Prevents pressure injury by resting slightly above the skin and should not be rotated.

Port Functionality

The device includes multiple ports:

• Jejunal Port: Facilitates feeding directly into the small intestine.
• Gastric Port: Allows for gastric decompression, venting, and medication administration.
• Balloon Port: Used for inflating and deflating the retention balloon with a Luer-slip syringe.

Each port is equipped with anti-reflux valves and clearly marked for safe and effective use.

Enhanced Visibility and Placement

The jejunal portion of the tube is weighted for proper placement and features a radiopaque stripe for easy visualization under imaging. The tapered, trimmable distal tip aids in placement and minimizes trauma.

ENFit Compatibility

All feeding and extension sets are equipped with ENFit connectors, providing secure and standardized attachment. The SECUR-LOK right angle connector on the extension sets reduces the risk of accidental disconnection, while the swivel feature allows movement during feeding.

Material and Construction

• Latex-Free and DEHP-Free: Ensures safety for sensitive patients.
• Sterility: The tube is gamma sterilized, while extension sets are non-sterile.
• Reusable Extension Sets: Designed for single-patient use and recommended for replacement every two weeks.

Indications for Use

This device is ideal for patients with conditions such as intestinal motility disorders, gastric outlet obstruction, severe gastroesophageal reflux, or those recovering from esophagectomy or gastrectomy. Placement is performed percutaneously under clinical guidance and is not intended for home replacement.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care includes regular flushing of the tube and extension sets, cleaning with warm soapy water, and weekly checks of the balloon water volume. Only MIC-KEY extension sets should be used, and the jejunal port should not be connected to suction or used for medication unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Safety and Compatibility

Compatible exclusively with ENFit syringes and feeding sets, the extension sets are not interchangeable with other brands. This product is for prescription use only and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
