“…Based on peer-reviewed study, the HMF used in this NICU can preserve the antibacterial activity of human milk against E. coli, Staphylococcus, Group B Streptococcus and C. sakazakii (Chan, 2003). MCT oil is a saturated fat from coconut or palm oil and helps to increase fat absorption and is suitable for infants with very low birthweight (VLBW) (Yamada et al, 1988).…”

The implementation of a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system in infant milk preparation can prevent and reduce the risk of bacterial contamination in infant feedings. Therefore, it is very important to determine the sensitive raw materials (SRM) in a milk room of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to prevent contamination that can affect the safety of milk feeding. This study was conducted to identify the SRM at the milk preparation room of a NICU in the Canselor Tuanku Muhriz Hospital, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. SRM were identified via HACCP system decision tree by the Malaysian Standard (MS1480:2007).. The results showed that donor expressed breast milk (DEBM), expressed breast milk at home (EBMH), freshly expressed breast milk (FEBM) and powdered infant formula (PIF) were identified as SRM. Expressed breast milk (DEBM, EBMH, FEBM) were known as non-sterile milk which were able to transmit pathogenic microorganisms such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa derived from the mother or donor. PIF is also not sterile that are associated with Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella infections causing serious illnesses among premature and infants. Ready to feed milk (RTF) is classified as non-sensitive material as it is sterile, free from bacterial contamination and safe for high-risk infant’s feeding compare to PIF. Preventive measures were applied to control the significant hazards in all identified SRM to ensure the final product (milk) is safe for consumption.

Breath tests have been used in research laboratories for over 25 y. Originally, the tests were based on the use of (14)C, rather than on the nonradioactive isotope, (13)C. When (13)C became widely available at a reasonable cost, research groups in the United States and Europe developed methodologies to measure (13)C abundance in samples of CO(2). The tests used a variety of substrates and measured pancreatic function, fat absorption, bacterial overgrowth and P(450) mixed-function oxidase. Thus far, the only test to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration is the (13)C-urea breath test. This manuscript describes the process by which approval is gained, and indicates the steps necessary for other tests to receive Food and Drug Administration approval.
