Powder to reconstitute a drink for special medical purpose that can be used for both oral and enteral (by tube) feeding for patients from 13 years of age.

This powder can be reconstituted with 2 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, and dry with a clean cloth or single-use towel.
• Water used to prepare powdered infant formula should be boiled for 2 minutes, then cooled to 60-70°C before adding the powder. Use a digital food grade thermometer to check the temperature of the water.
• Pour the exact quantity of water (at 70°C) required (see below) into a cleaned and sterilised recipient. Use a 100 ml measuring jug or a 100 ml graduated glass beaker with spout.
• Add the required amount of powder (see table below).

• Mix the preparation with a sterilised utensil until complete dilution.
• Remark on the measuring spoon:
• use the measuring spoon provided in the tin. Do NOT use a measuring spoon from another product or manufacturer.
• put it directly back into the tin, do not wash it.
• the measuring spoon should not get wet; if it does, dry it well before putting it back in the tin.
