The Sterimed Endotracheal Tube Cuffed (SMD 701C) is a medical device designed for airway management during general anesthesia, intensive care, and emergency situations. It is inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea to ensure a clear pathway for air to reach the lungs and to facilitate mechanical ventilation. The inflatable cuff creates a seal against the tracheal wall, which helps prevent air leakage and the aspiration of gastric contents into the lungs. Made from a non-toxic, thermosensitive PVC material, the tube softens at body temperature for patient comfort.
Made from Medical-Grade Material: The tube is crafted from a non-toxic, non-irritant, medical-grade PVC and silicone blend that is free from phthalates. High-Volume, Low-Pressure Cuff: This feature allows for an adequate seal within the trachea at a lower pressure, which can minimize the risk of trauma to the tracheal lining. Atraumatic Design: A smooth, polished Murphy eye and a rounded tip are designed to reduce the risk of injury during intubation and extubation. Radiopaque Line: A clear line is visible on X-rays, allowing healthcare professionals to confirm the correct placement of the tube. Universal Connector: It includes a standard 15mm connector at the proximal end, ensuring compatibility with standard ventilation equipment.
Q: What is the primary use of the Sterimed Endotracheal Tube Cuffed (SMD 701C)?
A: The Sterimed Cuffed Endotracheal Tube is used in general anesthesia, intensive care, and emergency medicine to maintain a clear airway for mechanical ventilation. It is inserted through the nose or mouth into the trachea to ensure air reaches the lungs.
Q: What is the function of the cuff in this endotracheal tube?
A: The high-volume, low-pressure cuff creates a seal against the tracheal wall after inflation. This seal prevents air leakage and the aspiration of secretions into the lungs.
Q: What material is the tube made from?
A: The tube is constructed from medical-grade, non-toxic Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and is coated with a silicone elastomer. It is also 100% phthalate-free and biocompatible.
Q: How is the correct placement of the tube verified?
A: The tube includes a full-length radiopaque line, which allows its position to be clearly seen and verified under X-ray or other imaging techniques.
Q: Is this product intended for multiple uses?
A: No, the Sterimed Endotracheal Tube is sterile, individually packed, and intended for single-patient use only to prevent cross-contamination.
Provides a secure and unobstructed airway for patients who cannot breathe on their own, particularly during surgical operations or in emergencies. The inflatable cuff helps to prevent the aspiration of fluids into the lungs, a critical safety feature during mechanical ventilation. Reduces the need for tube changes compared to uncuffed tubes, as the cuff can be adjusted to create a proper seal. Improves the accuracy of ventilation monitoring, including end-tidal carbon dioxide and tidal volume measurements. The design, featuring a smooth surface and atraumatic tip, aims to minimize discomfort and trauma during insertion and removal.
This product is intended for use by trained medical professionals only. Before intubation, check the cuff for any leaks. The tube should be inserted with the cuff fully deflated. A laryngoscope is used to guide the tube through the mouth and vocal cords into the trachea. Once in position, the cuff is slowly inflated with air until a seal is formed, ensuring cuff pressure is monitored and does not exceed recommended limits (e.g., 20-25 cmH2O). Correct placement should be confirmed by listening for bilateral breath sounds and using methods like capnography or a chest X-ray. The tube is then secured in place using tape or a commercial stabilization device.
For single-patient use only; do not reuse or re-sterilize. This device should only be used by healthcare providers trained in airway management techniques. Always consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for patients with pre-existing medical conditions. Cuff pressure must be monitored regularly to avoid over-inflation, which can lead to mucosal injury. Ensure the tube size is appropriate for the patient to prevent complications. Potential risks include aspiration during insertion, esophageal intubation, and trauma to the airway. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
The product is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (E.T.O) and is pyrogen-free. It is made from a thermosensitive PVC that softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's airway. The tube is individually packed in a sterile, peelable pouch. The size of this specific tube is 5.5 mm (Internal Diameter).
