INTRODUCTION
As the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) is recognized internationally as “THE” resource to drive conformity, the ISO has set New ISO global standards for patient-safe enteral connectors.

The new connectors will modify the delivery of enteral nutrition, and hydration as well as prescribing, dispensing, and administering enteral medications. The new ENFit® syringe design will carry a risk of dosing inaccuracy – both over-dosing and under-dosing – due to the dead space of the new ENFit® Syringe design.

Clinicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, home care agencies, parents caring for children who are enteral nutrition feeding dependent and/ or with enteral nutrition feeding devices need to be educated about this major change to ensure patient safety and delivery of excellent quality of care.

NASPGHAN has a responsibility to educate to make sure their health care teams are aware of the change, and when they prescribe, there is a change in the order for home care and that their patients are in good hands and their health care team is following the changes that are happening. This is a huge safety concern – in particular to neonates, infants, and cardiac babies.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed for pediatricians, pediatric gastroenterologists, pediatric gastroenterology fellows, pediatric gastroenterology nurse practitioners, and pediatric gastroenterology dieticians.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• To describe features of the new ENFit® connector and their safety implications

• To review how to avoid dead space in the syringe

• To review timing of launch of new connectors

• To post links/resources for more information
