Uses (Indications)
- Parenteral Nutrition (PN): As the primary nitrogen source when oral or enteral feeding isn't possible due to GI issues (obstruction, inflammation, surgery, fistulae) or when tube feeding is inadequate.
- Amino Acid Source: To provide essential and nonessential amino acids for protein synthesis and nitrogen balance.
Key Features
- High-Quality Amino Acids: A 15% concentration of balanced essential and nonessential amino acids.
- Pharmacy Bulk Package (PBP): Contains multiple single doses, intended for pharmacy admixture programs to create TPN solutions.
- Flexible Container: Not made with DEHP, PVC, or natural rubber latex, reducing exposure to potential contaminants.
- Smart Packaging: Includes linear and 2D barcodes for efficient tracking and an oxygen sensor to check product integrity.
- Nonpyrogenic: Free from fever-inducing substances.
- No Added Agents: Free from bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents
Benefits
- Improved Patient Outcomes: Supports wound healing, immune function, and overall nutritional status when enteral intake fails.
- Enhanced Pharmacy Efficiency: The PBP format and container design streamline compounding, potentially reducing labor and steps.
- Reduced Contamination Risk: Closed system and container design help maintain sterility.
- Patient Safety: Materials are free from common plasticizers (DEHP, PVC) and latex, and quality indicators (oxygen sensor) are built-in.
- Versatile Nutrition: Supports diverse patient needs by providing a complete amino acid profile for PN regimens.
