The Neuraxiale NRFit™ connector was designed according to ISO 80369-6 to prevent the use of counterfeit intravenous medications, preventing their unintended connection with any connection intended for a route of administration other than neuroaxial.

According to ISO 80369-6, all products concerning the spine, the cerebral ventricles and the epidural, extra-epidural or epidural space, and which are offered with the LUER connector, must gradually integrate the NRFit ™ connector.

What is this specific connection for?
The NRFit™ connector is a single connection; its dimensions and configuration make cross-connections with LUER connectors impossible, which reduces the risk of error.
