A question was posed to our med safety team about the proper dispensing connection for bladder irrigations. We currently dispense with a catheter tipped syringe to prevent IV administration. The nurses are emptying the solution into a cup and drawing it up into a luer lock syringe to administer into the bladder. Nursing is in agreement about the concern for wrong route errors and not using the luer lock.

In looking into this, I found an ISMP article (20100715) that spoke to ISO standards and standards coming for urological items. I am familiar with ENFit and NRFit, but not aware of urological items.

Is anyone up to speed on this? Is this still in the works?
Are you using specific connectors for dispensing bladder irrigations?

Thanks!
