RightBio Metrics gastric pH indicators

January 2025—RightBio Metrics has announced the availability of its RightSpot Gastric pH Indicators. The FDA-cleared, CLIA-waived product uses pH to confirm gastric acidity for tubes intended to end in the stomach. Other than an x-ray, the primary identifier of a properly placed nasogastric or orogastric tube tip, RightBio says, is a pH reading of 5.5 or less. Each indicator is individually packaged in high-density copolymer foil with proprietary surface treatment to prevent air, light, and humidity from penetrating and can be stored at temperatures between -40°C and 52°C.
