Features

• Peptide-based, elemental protein system consisting of 67% whey protein hydrolysate, 28% partially hydrolyzed sodium caseinate, and 5% added arginine

• An advanced blend of hydrolyzed protein, structured lipid and prebiotic (NutraFlora® scFOS®)^* to promote tolerance and absorption

• Added arginine (3.6 g/L total arginine) for wound healing and immune support

• Elevated antioxidant vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene to help reduce free radical damage

• MCT/marine oil structured lipid, a well-tolerated^1,2 and absorbed² next-generation fat to promote absorption of fatty acids

• EPA (2.29 g/L) and DHA (1 g/L) to help modulate inflammation and support immune function^3,4

• 1.2 g of NutraFlora® scFOS®^*/8 fl oz (5.0 g/L). scFOS are prebiotic soluble fibers that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon.

Preparation

• Instructions for Use: Ready-to-Hang bottle
  
  All liquid medical foods, regardless of type of administration system, require careful handling because they can support microbial growth. Follow these instructions for clean technique and proper setup to reduce the potential for microbial contamination. NOTE: Failure to follow the Instructions for Use increases the potential for microbial contamination and reduces hangtime.
  • Pump feeding is recommended. Pump feed at room temperature with a 5 Fr or larger tube; use an 8 Fr or larger tube for gravity feeding.
  • THOROUGHLY wash hands with soap and water before handling container or feeding set.
  • Turn container upside down and SHAKE VIGOROUSLY, using a twisting motion for at least 10 seconds.
  • DO NOT touch any part of the container or feeding set that comes into contact with the formula.
  • Visually inspect foil for signs of leakage. DO NOT use if leakage is apparent.
  • When initiating feeding, follow physician's instructions. Adjust flow rate and volume according to patient's condition and tolerance.
  • Additional fluid requirements should be met by giving water between or after feedings or when flushing the tube.
  • Follow Directions for Use provided with Abbott feeding set.
  For Use with Abbott Piercing Pin Set:
  • Lift tab to remove sticker from cap, taking care NOT to touch port. DO NOT remove the plastic cap.
