That is exactly why ISO 83069–3 (commonly known as ENFit® from GEDSA) is being implemented nationwide. Perhaps as you implement that change you can use the opportunity to also enhance the placement of those tubes.

It’s housing provides for closed specimen collection, testing, reporting, and disposal. Both FDA Cleared and CLIA Waived to confirm the placement of tubes intended to end in the stomach. This is per guidelines by major organizations such as ASPEN, ENA, AACN, CHA, and PSMF. Use of RightSpot® pH Indicators confirm tube placement is not post pyloric, esophageal, nor pleural. For convenience actual hospital protocols are available.
