A Setup That's Quick and Easy

Setting up and using RELiZORB with your enteral tube feeding set is simple.
Just follow the instructions below, step by step

Connect the RELiZORB cartridge to the end of the feed set tubing.
Prime the feeding formula through to the outlet of the RELiZORB cartridge.
Connect RELiZORB outlet to the extension set that connects to the patient.
Then prime the feeding formula to the end of the pump extension set, and set the pump to the prescribed flow rate between 24 and 120 mL/hr. Proceed with feeding.

For more detailed instructions on set-up, see the Patient Guide.

Using RELiZORB for More Than 500 mL

Each RELiZORB may be used for up to 500 mL of enteral tube feeding formula. Do not use one RELiZORB for more than 500 mL in a feeding, as it may not work as well to break down all the fat. If you use less than 500 mL of formula in a feeding, you must throw away the RELiZORB after use.
