Jejunal Feeding Tube (Low-Profile J-Tube)
Instructions for Use
Rx Only: Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
Description
The AVANOS* MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal Feeding Tube provides for delivery
of enteral nutrition into the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum.
Indications For Use
The AVANOS* MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal Feeding Tube is indicated for
use in patients who cannot absorb adequate nutrition through the stomach,
who have intestinal motility problems, gastric outlet obstruction, severe
gastroesophageal reflux, are at risk of aspiration, or in those who have had
previous esophagectomy or gastrectomy.
Contraindications
Contraindications for placement of a jejunal feeding tube include, but are not
limited to ascites, colonic interposition, portal hypertension, peritonitis and
morbid obesity.
Warning
Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize this medical device. Reuse,
reprocessing, or resterilization may 1) adversely affect the known
biocompatibility characteristics of the device, 2) compromise the
structural integrity of the device, 3) lead to the device not performing
as intended, or 4) create a risk of contamination and cause the
transmission of infectious diseases resulting in patient injury,
illness, or death.
Complications
The following complications may be associated with any transgastric jejunal
feeding tube:
• Skin Breakdown
• Infection
• Hypergranulation Tissue
• Stomach or Duodenal Ulcers
• Intraperitoneal Leakage
• Pressure Necrosis
• Perforation
• Intussusception
Note: Verify package integrity. Do not use if package is damaged or sterile
barrier compromised.
Note: The risk for perforation may be higher in patients weighing <10kg.
Placement
The AVANOS* MIC-KEY* Low-Profile Jejunal Feeding Tube may be placed
percutaneously under fluoroscopic or endoscopic guidance or as a replacement
to an existing device using an established stoma tract.
Caution: A gastropexy must be performed to affix the stomach to the
anterior abdominal wall, the feeding tube insertion site identified, stoma tract
dilated and measured prior to initial tube insertion to ensure patient safety
and comfort. The length of the tube may be adjusted using a razor blade or
scalpel. ensure that the cut is smooth and blunt and length sufficient. should
be sufficient to be placed 10–15 cm beyond the Ligament of Treitz.
Caution: Do not use the retention balloon of the feeding tube as a
gastropexy device. The balloon may burst and fail to attach the stomach to the
anterior abdominal wall.
Tube Preparation
1. Select the appropriate size MIC-KEY* Jejunal Feeding Tube, remove from
the package and inspect for damage.
2. Using the 6 ml Luer slip syringe contained in the kit, inflate the balloon
with 5 ml sterile or distilled water through the balloon port (Fig 1-A).
3. Remove the syringe and verify balloon integrity by gently squeezing the
balloon to check for leaks. Visually inspect the balloon to verify symmetry.
Symmetry may be achieved by gently rolling the balloon between the
fingers. Reinsert the syringe and remove all the water from the balloon.
4. Using a 6 ml Luer slip syringe, flush water through the jejunal port
(Fig 1-B) to verify patency.
5. Lubricate the distal end of the tube with water-soluble lubricant. Do Not
Use Mineral Oil Or Petroleum Jelly.
6. Generously lubricate the jejunal lumen with water-soluble lubricant. Do
Not Use Mineral Oil Or Petroleum Jelly.
7. Insert the introducer cannula (Fig 2) into the Jejunal port until the hub is in
contact with the Jejunal feeding port and the introducer cannula is clearly
visible inside the tube. The introducer cannula opens the one-way valve
and protects it from damage by the guidewire.
Suggested Radiologic Placement Procedure
1. Place the patient in the supine position.
2. Prep and sedate the patient according to clinical protocol.
3. Insure that the left lobe of the liver is not over the fundus or the body of
the stomach.
4. Identify the medial edge of the liver by CT scan or ultrasound.
5. Glucagon 0.5 to 1.0 mg IV may be administered to diminish gastric
peristalsis.
Caution: Consult Glucagon instructions for use for rate of IV injection
and recommendations for use with insulin dependent patients.
6. Insufflate the stomach with air using a nasogastric catheter, usually
500 to 1,000 ml or until adequate distention is achieved. It is often
necessary to continue air insufflation during the procedure, especially
at the time of needle puncture and tract dilation, to keep the stomach
distended so as to oppose the gastric wall against the anterior
abdominal wall.
7. Choose a catheter insertion site in the left sub-costal region, preferably
over the lateral aspect or lateral to the rectus abdominis muscle (N.B. the
superior epigastric artery courses along the medial aspect of the rectus)
and directly over the body of the stomach toward the greater curvature.
Using fluoroscopy, choose a location that allows as direct a vertical needle
path as possible. Obtain a cross table lateral view prior to placement of
gastrostomy when interposed colon or small bowel anterior to the
stomach is suspected.
Note: PO/NG contrast may be administered the night prior or an enema
administered prior to placement to opacify the transverse colon.
8. Prep and drape according to facility protocol.
Gastropexy Placement
Caution: It is recommended to perform a three point gastropexy in a
triangle configuration to ensure attachment of the gastric wall to the anterior
abdominal wall.
1. Place a skin mark at the tube insertion site. Define the gastropexy pattern
by placing three skin marks equidistant from the tube insertion site and in
a triangle configuration.
Warning: Allow adequate distance between the insertion
site and gastropexy placement to prevent interference of the
T-Fastener and inflated balloon.
2. Localize the puncture sites with 1% lidocaine and administer local
anesthesia to the skin and peritoneum.
3. Place the first T-Fastener and confirm Intragastric position. Repeat the
procedure until all three T-Fasteners are inserted at the corners of the
triangle.
4. Secure the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall and complete the
procedure.
Create the Stoma Tract
1. Create the stoma tract with the stomach still insufflated and in apposition
to the abdominal wall. Identify the puncture site at the center of the
gastropexy pattern. With fluoroscopic guidance confirm that the site
overlies the distal body of the stomach below the costal margin and
above the transverse colon.
Caution: Avoid the epigastric artery that courses at the junction of the
medial two-thirds and lateral one-third of the rectus muscle.
Warning: Take care not to advance the puncture needle too
deeply in order to avoid puncturing the posterior gastric wall,
pancreas, left kidney, aorta or spleen.
2. Anesthetize the puncture site with local injection of 1% lidocaine down
to the peritoneal surface (distance from skin to the anterior gastric wall is
usually 4–5 cm).
3. Insert a .038" compatible introducer needle at the center of the gastropexy
pattern into the gastric lumen directed toward the pylorus.
Note: The best angle of insertion is a 45 degree angle to the surface of
the skin.
4. Use fluoroscopic visualization to verify correct needle placement.
Additionally, to aid in verification, a water filled syringe may be attached to
the needle hub and air aspirated from the gastric lumen.
Note: Contrast may be injected upon return of air to visualize gastric folds
and confirm position.
5. Advance a guidewire, up to .038", through the needle and coil in the fundus
of the stomach. Confirm position.
6. Remove the introducer needle, leaving the guidewire in place and dispose
of according to facility protocol.
7. Advance a .038" compatible flexible catheter over the guidewire and using
fluoroscopic guidance, manipulate the guidewire into the antrum of the
stomach.
8. Advance the guidewire and flexible catheter until the catheter tip is at the
pylorus.
9. Negotiate through the pylorus and advance the guidewire and catheter into
the duodenum and 10–15 cm beyond the Ligament of Treitz.
10. Remove the catheter and leave the guidewire in place.
Dilation
1. Use a #11 scalpel blade to create a small skin incision that extends
alongside the guidewire, downward through the subcutaneous tissue and
fascia of the abdominal musculature. After the incision is made, dispose of
according to facility protocol.
2. Advance a dilator over the guidewire and dilate the stoma tract to the
desired size.
3. Remove the dilator over the guidewire, leaving the guidewire in place.
4. Measure the Stoma Length with the AVANOS* Stoma Measuring Device.
