How to Use :

The standard feed concentration is 9.3% w/v (i.e. 9.3g of Ketocal 3:1 with 90ml added water gives a final volume of 100ml). Preparation per 100ml ready to feed:

0.66 kcal/ml: 90ml water + 9.3g powder

1 kcal/ml: 86ml water + 14.1g powder

For Bottle, Tube and Sip feeding:

1. Wash hands thoroughly and clean the preparation area. Sterilise feeding and preparation equipment

2. KetoCal 3:1 must be made up with hot water (45°- 50°C or 113°-122°F) to fully dissolve

3. Boil fresh water (for five minutes) and allow to cool to approx. 50°C using a sterile thermometer. Alternatively, mix water that has been freshly boiled for five minutes, with cool water (that has been previously boiled for five minutes) in a 1:1 ratio to achieve the correct temperature

4. Pour the required amount of hot water into a sterilised feeding bottle or a sterilised container that seals with screw-top lid

5. Weigh out the required amount of KetoCal 3:1

6. Add the weighed KetoCal 3:1 to the water. Replace the cap on the bottle or container and shake vigorously until the powder dissolves. The prepared

formula must be cooled rapidly to the correct temperature before feeding

7. For bottle feeding, test the temperature by placing a few drops on the wrist. Formula should feed warm to the wrist

8. Formula remaining in the bottle after one hour of feeding should be discarded. Formula must not be re-warmed during feeding

9. For sip feeding, chill in a refrigerator if desired. Shake or stir formula before use

10. For tube feeding, flush tube with lukewarm water (approx. 37°C or 99°F) between each feed to avoid blockage
