- Used as a nitrogen source in intravenous parenteral nutrition (PN) for patients unable to get nutrition enterally
Uses
- 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
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
