Abbott Nutrition is committed to continuing to support Healthcare Professionals with tools and resources to assist in managing the nutritional needs of your patients.

Nutricheck is a useful online tool for Healthcare Professionals to analyse the micronutrients provided by specific formulas and feeding regimens against the Nutrient Reference Values (NRV) for Australia and New Zealand as recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council. NutriCheck can be used as a guide to help ensure your patients are meeting their specific nutritional requirements.

For simplicity we have used the traffic light system as a colour code to allow easy identification at a glance on whether your patients are meeting their nutritional requirements in the prescribed volume. The nutrients will be colour coded as dark green when greater than or equal to 100% of the recommended dietary intake (RDI) ) or adequate intake (AI) is achieved; light green when greater than or equal to 100% of the estimated average requirement (EAR) is achieved, orange if less than 100% of the RDI or AI is achieved.

For individual patients, assess macronutrient intake according to the requirements outlined in the Nutrient Reference Values.
