Energivit

  • Description:

    Energivit is a protein-free powder containing carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. A food for special medical purposes.
  • Indications & Prescribability:

    Energivit is for the dietary management of infants and children who require additional energy, vitamins, minerals and trace elements or who are following a protein restricted diet.
    Energivit can be used as a protein free formula. Energivit may also be used as part of a modular feed in conjunction with an appropriate nitrogen source (ie. protein, pepdite or amino acids).

  • Suggested Intake:

    The quantity of Energivit should be determined by a clinician or dietitian only and is dependent on the age, bodyweight and medical condition of the patient.

  • Preparation & Administration:

    Each level scoop (5g) Energivit requires 30ml (approx. 1 fl. oz) water to yield the recommended feed concentration (15% w/v).

    1. Wash hands. Sterilise feeding bottle and teat.
    2. Boil fresh water. Cool boiled water so that it feels warm to the wrist and pour the desired amount into a sterilised feeding bottle. Keep bottles capped until use.
    3. Fill the scoop provided in the pack and level of by passing the back of a clean, dry knife across the rim. Do not press the powder down into the scoop. Use only the scoop provided.
    4. Add the prescribed number of Energivit scoops to water.
    5. Replace the cap on the bottle and shake until the powder dissolves. Before feeding, ensure that the formula is at the correct temperature by placing a few drops on the wrist. Energivit is now ready for use.

    This feed concentration achieves 10% carbohydrate (by weight) per 100ml product.

    For children Energivit may be given in a more concentrated solution (e.g. 1 in 4) or added to permitted foods and drinks in the diet.
