Helpful Product Information
Nutrison Sterile Water is not an enteral feed. It provides water rather than energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre, vitamins or meaningful amounts of minerals.
The volume and administration rate should form part of the patient's individual enteral feeding and hydration plan.
The manufacturer's current information specifies a maximum hanging time of 24 hours. The OpTri bottle can be attached directly to a Flocare giving set.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Fluid requirements can vary considerably according to age, body size, medical condition, medication, kidney and heart function, fluid losses and the amount of water already provided by an enteral feed.
Nutrison Sterile Water should therefore be administered according to the patient's prescribed or professionally recommended enteral feeding plan.
Do not independently increase or reduce prescribed fluid volumes without discussing this with the healthcare professional managing the patient's care.
Not Suitable For
- Use as a sole source of nutrition
- Oral use as a substitute for ordinary drinking water
- Parenteral or intravenous administration
- Use outside a professionally supervised enteral feeding plan where medical supervision is required
