RightSpotpH® Indicator ROI Calculator
RightSpotpH® Indicator ROI Calculator
“Patient safety isn’t expensive; It’s priceless.” – Beth Lyman, RN, CNSC, FASPEN, FAAN
Explore an illustrative monthly cost and time comparison using your facility’s activity levels and the fixed assumptions below. Results may show higher or lower modeled costs and are not a forecast of actual savings or product performance.
Illustrative Results
The comparison assumes X-ray use for 5% of placements. This is a hypothetical model input, not evidence that the indicator reduces imaging or that any required confirmation can be omitted. The calculator does not determine imaging requirements or replace clinical protocols.

How We Calculate Your Results
This is an illustrative monthly cost comparison, not a price quote or a complete return-on-investment calculation. Positive differences mean lower modeled costs or time; negative differences mean higher modeled costs or time. Annual values assume the same activity for 12 months.
- pH Paper Costs: Number of placements using pH paper × $0.50 per test.
- X-ray Costs (Current Method): Placements requiring X-ray confirmation × $420 per X-ray.
- RightSpotpH® Costs: Total placements × $9 per RightSpotpH® indicator.
- X-ray Costs (RightSpotpH®): A fixed model assumption of 5% of placements requiring X-rays × $420 per X-ray. This is not a recommendation to change imaging or clinical protocols.
- Time assumptions: 1 minute per pH-paper test, 120 minutes per X-ray, and 0.5 minutes per indicator test. These are illustrative workflow estimates, not guaranteed staff time savings.
Using this calculator for 1–3 uses per month
Enter 1, 2, or 3 in Monthly NG Tube Placements. Percentage-based results represent expected averages across repeated months, not fractions of an actual test. Your result depends strongly on your current imaging use. The pH-paper and X-ray percentages are independent because the same placement may involve both.
For hospice or other low-volume settings, confirm actual product pricing, pack sizes, minimum orders, shipping, training, repeat testing, and unused or expired supplies with RightBio Metrics. Those costs and your facility-specific procedures are not included here. Use Submit a Custom Scenario below for a tailored cost review; this calculator does not determine an appropriate clinical procedure.
