DRINK/ENTER. POWDER adj.cal, ad., high prot., fib. van. 800g

Powder designed to reconstitute a drink for special medical purposes, suitable for both oral and enteral (by tube) feeding in patients from 13 years of age.

This powder can be reconstituted with two different dilution factors to obtain either a moderate-calorie drink (1.25 kcal/ml) or a high-calorie drink (1.5 kcal/ml).

Preparation and Reconstitution of drink powder

• Preparation should take place in a clean environment on cleaned and disinfected work surfaces.
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water, then dry with a clean cloth or single-use towel.
• Boil water for 2 minutes, then allow it to cool to 60-70°C before adding the powder. Use a digital food-grade thermometer to check the water temperature.
• Pour the exact required amount of water (at 70°C) (see below) into a cleaned and sterilised recipient. Use a 100 ml measuring jug or a 100 ml graduated glass beaker with a spout.
• Add the required amount of powder as indicated in the table below.

* 1 measuring spoon = 22 g of powder

• Mix the preparation with a sterilised utensil until completely diluted.
• Remark on the measuring spoon:
• Use the measuring spoon provided in the tin. Do NOT use a measuring spoon from another product or manufacturer.
• Do not wash the measuring spoon; return it to the tin after use.
• Ensure the measuring spoon remains dry; if it becomes wet, dry it thoroughly before placing it back in the tin.

• Oral use:
• Cool the preparation to feeding temperature (approx. 37°C).
• Use within 2 hours.

Conservation after reconstitution

• The reconstituted drink (liquid) should preferably be consumed immediately and always within 2 hours (oral use) or 6 hours (enteral use by tube).
• If not consumed immediately, refrigerate the preparation (do not exceed 5ºC). Stir before consumption.
• Refrigerated preparations should be consumed within 24 hours.
