Ensuring Accurate NG/OG Tube Placement for Nurses
Accurate NG/OG tube placement isn’t just one aspect of nursing—it’s a patient safety imperative in nursing care. That’s why RightBio Metrics is proud to exhibit at the 2025 Magnet Pathway Conference, taking place October 8–10th, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia. This event marks the largest conference for nurses in the country. Clinical leaders, educators, and frontline nurses who are driving safer, smarter care for children nationwide will all be in attendance. Join us as we showcase how pH-based tube verification can reduce complications, speed up treatment, and cut down on unnecessary X-rays—all while empowering nurses to make faster, evidence-based decisions at the bedside.
Addressing the Challenges of NG/OG Tube Placement
Accurate placement of nasogastric (NG) and orogastric (OG) tubes is critical in pediatric and neonatal care. Misplacements can lead to serious complications, including aspiration pneumonia and increased hospital stays. The traditional verification method of X-ray not only exposes young patients to radiation but also introduces significant costs and delays. Other outdated methods like auscultation—the “whoosh test”—are still used in hospitals across the country. However, this approach lacks clinical evidence and has been shown to produce false positives, leaving room for preventable, and sometimes fatal, errors.
Introducing the RightSpotpH® Indicator: A Safer, More Cost-Effective Way to Verify Placement
Designed specifically for pediatric patients, the RightSpotpH® (ENFit-compatible) Indicator provides immediate, bedside verification of NG/OG tube placement using gastric pH. Its closed, color-based system eliminates the guesswork of traditional pH strips and significantly reduces reliance on X-rays—saving hospitals $300–$500 per avoided procedure. By minimizing radiation exposure and enabling faster treatment decisions, this FDA-cleared, CLIA-waived device helps nurses reduce complications, streamline workflows, and improve safety outcomes for patients.
