A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to review the evidence underpinning the cleaning and reuse of ETF equipment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Studies that investigated the reuse, decontamination, and\/or cleaning of ETF equipment were considered for inclusion. Electronic databases were searched (no limits were placed on date of publication, age, or duration of reuse). Extracted data were assessed using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) and reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta\u2010Analyses recommendations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ten studies met inclusion criteria: 3 investigated changes to clinical outcomes with extending reuse from 24 to \u226472 hours using water rinses; 5 considered the efficacy of various cleaning methods assessed in laboratory conditions; 2 used a combination of both approaches. Sufficient data to allow GRADE assessment was found only for bottle\u2010type containers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A very low level of evidence supports the cleaning and reuse of rigid and \"unspecified\" bottle containers; no studies were found to inform the reuse of syringes used for bolus feeding or any equipment used for water infusion or flushes. There is an absence of literature evaluating the safety and clinical outcomes of cleaning and reusing ETF equipment, and research is required to support equipment reuse.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ncp.10574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,27]],"date-time":"2020-09-27T02:58:20Z","timestamp":1601175500000},"page":"169-186","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Revisiting the Evidence for the Reuse of Enteral Feeding Equipment in Ambulatory Patients: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1144-1787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma J.","family":"Osland","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Herston Australia"},{"name":"School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences University of Queensland  Brisbane Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Andersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Herston Australia"},{"name":"School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences University of Queensland  Brisbane Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Coleman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Cairns Hospital  Cairns Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Belinda","family":"Marshall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Robina Hospital  Robina Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2017.26.1.8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2008.17.16.31069"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/bjon.2012.21.18.1070"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003246-200001000-00011"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0899-9007(97)83002-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/088453360001500506"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0148607116673053"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","unstructured":"Centre for devices and radiological health.
