Jevity Liquid Fiber 237ml

Product Description:

• Jevity is a tube feeding formula providing 1.1 kcal/ml, designed for individuals at risk of disease-related malnutrition, containing a mix of fiber and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) to support digestive health.


• Tube feeding typically starts in a hospital, delivering a nutritionally complete liquid feed directly into the stomach or small bowel via a narrow tube.


• The fiber and FOS in Jevity help promote gastrointestinal function, making it crucial for those unable to meet their nutritional needs through oral intake. Consulting a healthcare provider is important for personalized recommendations.

How to Use:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the feeding equipment. Gather all necessary supplies, including the Jevity formula, feeding bag or syringe, and any additional accessories.


• Inspect the Jevity container for any damage or leaks. Shake it well to ensure proper mixing, and check the expiration date.


• If using a feeding bag, fill it with the appropriate amount of Jevity. Prime the tubing to remove any air bubbles. If using a syringe, draw up the desired amount.


• Ensure the individual receiving the feed is in an upright position to reduce the risk of aspiration. This may involve sitting them up in bed or using a chair.


• Administer the feed slowly. If using a pump, set the appropriate rate as directed by a healthcare provider. Monitor for any signs of discomfort or complications.


• After feeding, flush the tube with water to ensure all formula is cleared and to maintain tube patency. Follow any specific guidelines provided by a healthcare professional.


• Store any unused Jevity formula according to package instructions, and ensure it is properly sealed.

Cautions & Warnings:

• Watch for any allergic reactions or gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhea or constipation. Report any adverse effects to a healthcare provider immediately.


• Ensure proper placement of the feeding tube before administering Jevity to prevent aspiration and ensure safe feeding.


• Maintain hygiene by washing hands and using clean equipment to prevent infections or contamination.


• Jevity may not be appropriate for individuals with certain conditions, such as specific metabolic disorders or those requiring specialized nutrition. Always follow medical advice regarding suitability.
