The syringes, tubes and accessories are all fitted with a reverse Luer connector and coloured purple to clearly dffferentiate the enteral feed lines from the other patient access lines. The reverse Luer connector will not fit intravenous equipment and eliminates the risk of harm to patients from accidental misconnections. In addition the use of a standard reverse Luer allows the syringes to be connected and used with all other enteral equipment without the use of adapters. This system of safety syringes and accessories provides a 'trust-wide' solution for safer enteral access because all the components are compatible with all other enteral feeding systems used within the hospital. A compatible and complimentary home feeding system is also available ensuring a smooth transition from hospital to home.
