Bolus Tube Feeding Timer App
A reliable timer for syringe-based bolus tube feeding
Ease your tube feeding routine with the Tubie app’s bolus feeding timer.
No more guesswork, checking the clock, counting seconds or setting manual timers. Just choose your volume, interval, and dose to match your tube feeding needs. Available on iOS and Android.
A smarter way to manage bolus tube feeding
The Tubie app’s bolus tube feeding timer feature helps you manage your tube feeds with customizable timing and intuitive visual feedback
Whether you're doing tube feeding for yourself, a child, or a patient, the timer lets you:
- Set a total volume to be administered.
- Choose the interval between each push (e.g. every 20 seconds).
- Define the dose per interval (e.g. 1.5 ml per push).
The app then calculates and displays:
- Total feeding duration
- Flow rate in ml/min
- Estimated finish time
Real-time feedback and control
Once the timer starts, you'll see an interface with everything you need at a glance:
- A large counter showing how much has been administered so far.
- A circular progress bar that fills with each interval and resets for the next.
- Details like remaining volume, interval, dose, and flow rate.
- A horizontal progress bar tracking overall session time.
- Timers for elapsed time, time left, and ETA.
- Easy pause/resume controls for real-world flexibility.
Stay on track with interval reminders
To ensure consistent feeding without constantly checking the clock, the timer offers an additional three customizable notification types:
- Blink: Your screen flashes to draw attention.
- Sound: An alert plays at each interval.
- Vibrate: Your device gently vibrates as a reminder.
You can enable one or all, depending on your preference or environment.
Why use a bolus tube feeding timer?
Manual syringe feeding can be tricky to pace, especially when you're juggling caregiving, distractions, or perhaps a wandering mind? The bolus tube feeding timer ensures consistency by:
- Reducing the risk of feeding too quickly.
- Tracking how much has been given and how much is left.
- Making it easier to follow medical or nutritionist guidelines.
Whether you're a caregiver, nurse, or someone managing their own feeding, this feature brings structure and clarity to your bolus tube feeding sessions.
