NGPod Global are dedicated to providing innovative solutions to the patient safety issues surrounding nasogastric (NG) tube misplacement.
Using patented fibre-optic sensor technology, the NGPOD® takes the pH test to the distal end of the NG tube inside the patient. This CE marked device has been designed to be an alternative to conventional feeding tube position confirmation tests – delivering a clear, simple indication that requires minimal clinical interpretation. In particular it increases the percentage of patients who can be pH tested (the recommended first line method in the UK, USA & other countries) as it removes the issue of obtaining aspirate from patients.
The device is intended for use by healthcare professionals for patients who require enteral feeding or medication via nasogastric (NG) feeding tubes in the acute, out-patient or home care environment.
Advantages of the NG POD system:
- No aspirate required
No interpretation. Get a clear "Yes/No" answer
- Rapid result (c. 20 seconds): reduce delays to patient treatment, hydration and nutrition
More cost-effective than using aspirate & pH strips first line
