NRFit®

Connecting what belongs together with NRFit®

Medical device connectors for neuraxial and regional anaesthesia applications are changing to meet international design standards. To reduce the risk of wrong route medication errors the International Organization for Standardisation (ISO) has developed standards for small-bore connectors, one being in the field of neuraxial and regional anesthesia (ISO 80369-6). The name that will be used to identify devices that comply with the ISO 80369-6 standard is: NRFit^®.

Reducing risks of misconnections in regional anesthesia

The universally compatible Luer connector has been identified as a key element in ‘wrong route’ medication errors.^3-4 Luer connectors are widely used for delivery of infusions. Literature shows⁵ that any patient having multiple access systems in place are exposed to higher risks of misconnections.

User benefits of NRFit^®
