NRFit® in loco-regional anaesthesia
The standard to adopt for enhanced patient safety!
Definition
NRFit® is a new connector defined by the ISO 80369-6 standard for small connectors for gases and liquids used in the healthcare sector, specifically for the neuraxial approach.
Fields of action
Main specialities: Obstetric anaesthesia-analgesia, peripheral loco-regional anaesthesia-analgesia, oncology, neurology.
Universality
NRFit® replaces all Luer connections between needles, catheters, filters and syringes for all neuraxial approaches, including loco-regional anaesthesia, and ensures safe drug administration for neuraxial and perineural routes.
Specific feature
The ISO 80369-6 standard consists of specific physical coding of the intrathecal, epidural, cerebroventricular and peripheral loco-regional approaches.

NRFit® - Avoid connection errors
Distinguish between Luer and NRFit® connections
Connection between Luer and NRFit® connectors is not possible:
- The NRFit® connector is 20% narrower and 30% longer than the Luer connector
- A yellow colour code allows quick and easy identification of loco-regional anaesthesia devices
Why NRFit®?
The benefits
1. Observe
Errors in the route of drug administration can be facilitated by the universal Luer connector.
2. Differentiate
For several years, ISO has been developing the ISO 80369 standard to differentiate between the connectors of medical devices used in different approaches.
3. Prevent
NRFit® is a passive prevention device designed to reduce the risk of connection errors.
4. Rollout
The introduction of this secure NRFit® connection concerns all countries and is being rolled out progressively.
