Specific IDDSI framework concepts require evaluation for inclusion on many diet levels! A FEES can directly assess specific food items including (1) regular bread products (identified as HIGH-CHOKING risk items, allowable on L7 unless otherwise recommended), (2) transitional foods & (3) mixed consistencies.
See the difference, eliminate the guesswork & ACHIEVE ACCURACY with SDX FEES!

SDX FEES FACTS:
More than 90% of aspiration episodes occur BEFORE or AFTER the swallow, the stages of the swallow a FEES is most adept at viewing. (Smith, Logemann, et al, Dysphagia, 1999: 14; 1-7)
ONLY FEES can "see" a resident eat an entire meal...this is key considering that aspiration may not occur until at least 10 trials of a liquid are swallowed! (Baijens et al, Dysphagia 2014:29; 583-590)
An in-color FEES actually gives a bird's-eye-view of secretions, anatomy & physiology, in contrast to the black & white x-ray taken during an MBSS (modified barium swallow study).
We now cover all of New England, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire & Maine!
