Oral Liquid Controlled Drug Discrepancies Caused by ENFit™ Enteral Syringes and Adapters

This study demonstrated a consistent, measurable loss of oral liquid CD (approximately 5%) when using ENFit™ enteral syringes and adapters, even under controlled conditions and when correct withdrawal technique was used. These losses may contribute to minor but recurring CD discrepancies in clinical practice. Healthcare organizations should consider these findings when developing policies for oral liquid CD handling and balance reconciliation. Strategies like correct device fit, unit-dose packaging, and gravimetric verification may improve accuracy, reduce discrepancy investigations, and enhance CD recording compliance.
