This support item, HEN - giving sets, is a consumable funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and is specifically designed for participants who receive nutritional support through Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN).
Giving sets, also commonly known as administration sets or feeding bags, are disposable components that are essential for the safe and hygienic delivery of enteral feed or hydration formulas. They serve as the critical connection point, linking the feed container (such as a feeding bag or bottle) to the participant's percutaneous feeding tube (e.g., gastrostomy or jejunostomy tube). These sets are used for both continuous pump feeding and gravity feeding methods.
Regular replacement of giving sets is vital for maintaining a clean feeding system, preventing blockages, ensuring the accuracy of the feed rate, and significantly reducing the risk of infection. This line item provides the necessary consumables to support the ongoing, safe, and effective administration of required nutrition. This item is claimable under the NDIS Consumables support category.
