Neonatal intensive care patients are at high risk of infection because of immature immune status. Cases of illness and death have been reported as a result of formula-related problems. Powdered formulas are discouraged due to potential bacterial contamination and sterile liquid products are not available in nutrient concentrations required to support growth and development of fragile neonates. An increased number of formula errors revealed the need for training of formula room technicians. Specific training targeted areas of formula preparation that would decrease errors and improve safety and accuracy of product delivered to high-risk neonates.
