      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 Organization for Standardization (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®.

      Reducing risks of misconnections in regional anaesthesia

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

       

      User benefits of NRFit®

      • Dedicated connectors intended to help reduce the risks of misconnections
      • 20% smaller in diameter
      • Yellow color coding where feasible allows faster identification of regional anaesthesia devices

      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.'
