The Sterimed Endotracheal Tube Cuffed (SMD 701C) is a medical device designed for airway management during general anesthesia or for mechanical ventilation. It is made from a non-toxic, medical-grade PVC that is thermosensitive, allowing it to soften at body temperature to conform to the patient's respiratory tract. The tube features a high-volume, low-pressure cuff that creates a seal within the trachea to facilitate ventilation and reduce the risk of aspiration.
High-Volume, Low-Pressure Cuff: Provides an adequate seal within the trachea at a low pressure, which helps in preventing aspiration. Thermosensitive PVC Material: The tube is constructed from a special PVC that softens at body temperature, conforming to the patient's airway for enhanced comfort. Radiopaque Line: A line is integrated into the tube's wall for clear visualization on X-rays, assisting in the confirmation of correct placement. Smooth, Atraumatic Design: Features a polished Murphy eye and a smooth tip to minimize trauma during the intubation and extubation processes. Standard Connector: Equipped with a universal 15mm connector at the proximal end for compatibility with standard anesthesia and ventilation equipment.
Q: What is the function of the cuff on this endotracheal tube?
A: The cuffed portion is an inflatable balloon that, when filled with air, creates a seal against the tracheal wall. This seal prevents air leakage, ensures controlled ventilation to the lungs, and minimizes the risk of aspiration.
Q: Is this endotracheal tube reusable?
A: No, this endotracheal tube is sterile, intended for single-patient use, and should be discarded after one procedure. This practice helps to prevent cross-contamination and ensures patient hygiene.
Q: What material is the tube made from?
A: The tube is constructed from a special non-toxic, medical-grade PVC that is free from phthalates. It is coated with a silicone elastomer, which helps to reduce friction during insertion and removal.
Q: How is the correct placement of the tube verified?
A: The tube features a radiopaque line that runs along its length, making it visible on an X-ray. This allows healthcare professionals to confirm the accurate positioning of the tube within the trachea.
Q: Who is qualified to use this medical device?
A: This endotracheal tube is intended for use by trained and qualified medical professionals, such as anesthesiologists and critical care personnel, for airway management, general anesthesia, and mechanical ventilation.
Aids in maintaining a patent airway for patients who require mechanical ventilation or are under general anesthesia. The cuffed design helps to secure the airway, reducing the possibility of air leakage and the aspiration of gastric contents. Made from 100% phthalate-free, non-toxic medical-grade PVC for biocompatibility.
This product is intended for oral or nasal intubation and must be used by a qualified healthcare professional, such as an anesthesiologist or critical care physician, trained in airway management techniques. The practitioner should select the appropriate tube size and verify the integrity of the cuff before insertion. Proper placement should be confirmed according to established medical protocols.
For single-patient use only; do not reuse, reprocess, or re-sterilize. Do not use if the package is open or damaged. This device should only be used by trained medical personnel. Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for patients with pre-existing conditions. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
The product is sterile and pyrogen-free if the packaging is intact. It is manufactured from non-toxic, non-irritant, medical-grade clear PVC. Available in multiple sizes to suit different patient requirements.
