ULTRAPAK ® w i t h SPIKERIGHT <br />
Taking the Lead in Tube-Feeding Safety<br />
PRodUcT oRdERInG InFoRmATIon*<br />
• Leading healthcare industry organizations, such as the Joint<br />
Commission, ISMP and ECRI, have re<strong>com</strong>mended that<br />
medical manufacturers redesign their products to reduce<br />
the risk of dangerous tubing misconnections. 1,3,4<br />
• In our continuing effort to improve the safety of tube feeding,<br />
Nestlé HealthCare <strong>Nutrition</strong> is introducing SPIKERIGHT, an<br />
enteral-specific port for closed tube-feeding containers<br />
designed to reduce the risk of IV misconnection.<br />
• The SPIKERIGHT design is non-proprietary and available<br />
for use by any manufacturer.<br />
• The California Hospital Association has urged that all<br />
manufacturers of tube-feeding formulas and equipment<br />
adopt an enteral–specific design. 5 SPIKERIGHT meets<br />
this need.<br />

Setting the standard in tube-feeding safety.
THE ISSUE:<br />
Tubing Misconnections<br />
• Tubing misconnections caused by human error are a serious problem in healthcare organizations, with potentially<br />
life-threatening consequences. 1,2<br />
• Industry organizations such as the Joint Commission, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP)<br />
and the Emergency Care Research Institute (ECRI) have re<strong>com</strong>mended that manufacturers of medical<br />
products redesign them to reduce the risk of misconnections. 1,3,4<br />
• Currently, all ready-to-feed closed tube-feeding containers use a universal port that is potentially vulnerable<br />
to misconnections.<br />
• The time is right for manufacturers of tube-feeding formulas and equipment to adopt an industry-wide<br />
solution to the problem of misconnections.<br />
THE SOLUTION:<br />
SPIKERIGHT for Safety—The New Enteral-Specific Port<br />
• Nestlé HealthCare <strong>Nutrition</strong> is taking the lead in helping reduce the risk of<br />
misconnections by introducing SPIKERIGHT , an enteral-specific port for closed<br />
tube-feeding containers designed to reduce the risk of IV misconnection.<br />
• Nestlé has chosen a non-proprietary design that can be used by<br />
any manufacturer.<br />
• As part of our ongoing <strong>com</strong>mitment to improve the safety of tube feeding,<br />
Nestlé plans to incorporate the SPIKERIGHT design into ULTRAPAK ® products<br />
and COMPAT ® spike sets in 2008, and closed system bottles in 2009.<br />
• Covidien and VIASYS MedSystems also plan to incorporate the SPIKERIGHT <br />
design into their spike sets.
HoW SPIKERIGHT WoRKS<br />
The SPIKERIGHT port is threaded and connects with specifically-designed screw-top enteral spike sets. Purple color<br />
coding clearly distinguishes the ULTRAPAK ® and tubing.<br />
