166 HANG TIME OF ABBOTT NUTRITION TUBE-FEEDING FORMULAS Abbott RTH prefilled enteral feeding containers have a maximum safe hang time of up to 48 hours when a new RTH container is connected to a new safety screw connector feeding set using clean technique.* Using only one feeding set per RTH container helps control the introduction of microbes from touch contamination.
