CADD® and Portex® Portfolio with the NRFit™ Connector

Secure Connections from Pump to Patient

  Aware

 In 2014, the Joint Commission released Sentinel Event Alert 53: Managing Risk During Transition to ISO Tubing Connector Standards. The ISO 80369-6 neuraxial connector standard was published on March 2016. The goal is to reduce the incidence of medical device misconnections by creating unique non-Luer connectors for neuraxial procedures. The neuraxial non-Luer connectors will be branded by all major manufacturers as NRFit® connectors.

  Prepare

 Smiths Medical would like to help you with switching to the NRFit® neuraxial non-Luer connector. We’ll help make the transition easier by providing support, guidance and product expertise.

  Adopt

 Before your facility adopts the new standard, it is important that all employees who will be involved become educated on the new 80369-6 standard for proper use of non-Luer connectors. Share the information with your entire team, and be sure everyone understands the importance of this change.
