Line Item Description
This support item, HEN - water flush syringes, is a consumable funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) through the Consumables support category. It is specifically intended for participants receiving Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN).
These syringes are a critical component of the daily enteral feeding regimen. They are used exclusively for administering water flushes through the feeding tube (e.g., gastrostomy, jejunostomy, or nasogastric tube) before, between, and after administering feeds and medications.
The primary function of the water flush syringe is to:
Maintain Tube Patency: Prevent blockages and build-up of formula or medication residue inside the tube.
Ensure Hydration: Accurately deliver required volumes of water for hydration.
Prevent Drug Interactions: Clear the tube between different medications.
As a consumable, the syringes require regular replacement to maintain accurate measurement, ensure smooth plunger function, and adhere to strict hygiene standards, thereby ensuring the safety and long-term effectiveness of the participant's enteral feeding access.
