DEVICE

RightSpot pH Indicator

The RightSpot pH Indicator device is used to confirm proper placement of all types of gastric tubes used for gastric rest, suction, or medicating/feeding by measuring the pH of stomach aspirate. This device is intended for 1 (one) SINGLE USE. The probability of proper placement is higher when the pH is less than or equal to 4.5 and if aspirate has a typical gastric fluid appearance (grassy green, brown, colorless- with possible shreds of off-white mucus or sediment).

RADIATION

Chest radiograph

Chest radiograph will be taken after tube placement to verify proper positioning of the nasogastric or orogastric tube.
