NRFit®

Connecting what belongs together with NRFit®

Medical device connectors for neuraxial and regional anaesthesia applications are changing to meet international design standards. To reduce the risk of wrong route medication errors the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has developed standards for small-bore connectors, one being in the field of neuraxial and regional anaesthesia (ISO 80369-6). The name that will be used to identify devices that comply with the ISO 80369-6 standard is: NRFit®.

NRFit®

Reducing the risks of misconnections in regional anaesthesia

The universally compatible Luer connector are widely used for delivery of infusions. However, they have been identified as a key element in ‘wrong route’ medication errors. Literature shows that any patient having multiple access systems in place are exposed to higher risks of misconnections.³

ISO standard

ISO 80369-6 in detail

The ISO standard ‘specifies requirements for smallbore connectors intended to be used for connections in neuraxial applications. Neuraxial applications involve the use of medical devices intended to administer medications to neuraxial sites, wound infiltration anaesthesia delivery, and other regional anaesthesia procedures or to monitor or remove cerebro spinal fluid for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.'
