Make Dietary Restrictions and Swallow Precautions Unmistakable
Help prevent unintended oral intake and reduce aspiration risk with five coordinated dietary and swallow-safety alerts. The NPO and Swallow Safety Bundle communicates fasting status, time-specific NPO orders, aspiration precautions, liquid-consistency requirements, and the need for meal supervision.
Placed on compatible metal doorframes, these magnets alert nursing, dietary, therapy, transport, environmental-services, and visiting staff before food, beverages, medications, or routine comfort items are offered. Each message prompts the team to verify the active order and follow the documented feeding or swallow plan.
Bundle Includes
10 NPO magnets — Blue
10 NPO AFTER MIDNIGHT magnets — Blue
10 ASPIRATION PRECAUTION magnets — Blue
10 THICKENED LIQUIDS magnets — Blue
10 SUPERVISE ALL MEALS magnets — Blue
Why This Bundle Adds Value
This bundle covers several distinct reasons oral intake may be restricted or modified. It helps facilities differentiate complete NPO status from timed fasting and supports safer meal service for patients who require texture modification, aspiration precautions, or direct supervision.
Why It Works
Digital alerts and information in the medical record remain essential, but staff do not always have a screen open as they approach a patient’s room. These magnets add an “always-on” physical communication layer at the point of care, helping important precautions remain visible across departments and shifts.
The coordinated color family makes related messages easier to group and recognize within your facility’s system. Magnet colors should support—not replace—written wording, current orders, and facility-approved protocols.
