WHAT IS NFANT® FEEDING SOLUTION?
nfant® Feeding Solution is a FDA cleared medical device that measures an infant’s tongue movement during nutritive and non-nutritive sucking using standard bottles, nipples, and pacifiers. The information collected is then streamed to the caregiver via the nfant® Mobile App. Data is stored in the cloud-based nfant® Patient Database which is HIPAA compliant.
HOW DOES NFANT® FEEDING SOLUTION CONTRIBUTE TO AN INFANT-DRIVEN APPROACH TO FEEDING?
nfant® Feeding Solution provides the “moment to moment” feedback necessary to be supportive on an infant’s skill development in transitioning from tube to oral feeding. The objective information collected should be used along with clinician expertise to provide evidenced based care.
WHICH INFANTS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR USE WITH NFANT® FEEDING SOLUTION?
nfant®Feeding Solution is designed to facilitate the transition from tube-feeding to oral feeding for preterm, sick full-term infants and healthy full-term infants who may be experiencing difficulty.
