Ready, Set, Launch … the IDDSI Funnel |
|
The launch of the IDDSI Funnel is just around the corner!
Pilot testing of the online store is being rolled out by the time you receive this email. Over the next several weeks, our pilot will see our official manufacturer, Sparrow Solutions Ltd, receive feedback and smooth out ordering, buying, and fulfillment processes. We appreciate everyone’s patience, and will announce in the e-Bite when the store is open for everyone!
Some important information:
- Our store (including ordering and fulfillment) will be managed by our official manufacturer, Sparrow Solutions Ltd., and will be the official channel to order your IDDSI Funnels
- IDDSI Funnels will be sold in two quantities (a package of 100 Funnels, or a carton of 1000 Funnels) with the minimum order amount being 100 Funnels
- Shipping will be calculated at the time of order
We are excited to see the results of our pilot.
To go with the new IDDSI Funnel, we have created the following new resources, which can be found collected here. (These four resources will also be found in their respective locations, such as under Testing Cards, the IDDSI Flow Test, or our YouTube channel.)
At the meantime, for those wishing to get IDDSI funnels in smaller pack size, please reach out to:
Whether for use in a hospital, rehabilitation or a nursing home setting, or for a private office or patient, IDDSI funnels can be purchased in both small and large quantities.
Supporting the IDDSI mission: Every funnel sold goes to support the availability of funnels in regions around the world with less developed health care systems and access to financial resources.

The Leaders IRG came together early in January 2023 to share and discuss opportunities for helping support each other with IDDSI implementation. To collaborate regionally, 3 volunteers came forward to help coordinate communication between IRG’s regions from Latin America, Asia and Europe. A big thank you to our 3 volunteers!
