Xray through zflo?

Hello all!

I have briefly used Z-flo at a prior job, remember loving it, but thought that we could xray through them? I know the company has to say no simply because they didn't test it, but I thought the rep mentioned some units doing it. They just arrived in my current unit and I'm trying to teach people how to use them, you all know how much nurses like change;)

Any info that you might have would be greatly appreciated, if someone else is doing it then I can take that info to the powers that be and at least have someone look into it.

    Nope. There are little tiny air bubbles in them that show up on xray. Learned that from experience.

    I'd like one for my own bed, BTW. :D

    We've gotten mixed information on them. Some Xray techs say leave them, other say you can see air bubbles. If the kid is THAT sick that they need a CXR, then I don't want to risk having artifact on my films.

    We don't xray through them. If they are super sick, I usually stash the zflo elsewhere if they need frequent xrays.

    Thanks for the replies! Another question for you all, are the zflos patient specific or are you cleaning and reusing them between patients? Do you have a system for tracking and/or charging for them?

    Thanks!

    We order them through central supply and they are pt specific. We toss them after a month.
