IDDSI

International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative

The International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) is the international body that developed the reference framework for classifying food and beverage consistencies for people with dysphagia.

The IDDSI framework provides a standardized language, based on numerical levels and color codes, designed to improve safety, operational clarity, and consistency between clinical prescribing and food preparation .

IO SANO solutions are designed in accordance with the IDDSI framework and subjected to rigorous controls of rheological and rheometric parameters, using procedures and technological tools aimed at the reproducibility and safety of the consistencies delivered.

IO SANO technologies integrate operational interfaces developed to facilitate the correct selection of IDDSI consistency levels in the hydration management of dysphagic patients.

IO SANO is an active partner of the IDDSI initiative and the official distributor of IDDSI funnels for Europe, contributing to the dissemination and application of international standards in clinical and healthcare practice.

THE IDDSI SCALE

Our gel drink dispensers are equipped with 3 buttons for the three IDDSI levels, eliminating the risk of dosage errors for patients and operators.
