The Sterimed Endotracheal Tube Cuffed (SMD 701C) is a medical device designed for airway management in settings such as general anaesthesia, intensive care, and emergency medicine. It is intended to be inserted through the nose or mouth into the trachea to maintain an open airway, allowing for mechanical ventilation. This tube is constructed from a non-toxic, medical-grade PVC material, which is thermo-sensitive and softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's respiratory tract anatomy. The cuffed design incorporates a high-volume, low-pressure balloon that, when inflated, creates a seal against the tracheal wall to facilitate ventilation and prevent aspiration.
Cuffed Design: Features a high-volume, low-pressure cuff that provides a secure seal against the tracheal wall, preventing aspiration and air leakage.
Biocompatible Material: Manufactured from non-toxic, medical-grade PVC that is 100% phthalate-free and softens at body temperature for patient comfort.
Atraumatic Intubation: A smooth, polished Murphy eye at the distal end and a tapered balloon design allow for easier and less traumatic insertion and removal.
X-Ray Visualization: Includes a radio-opaque line that runs the full length of the tube, enabling clear identification of the tube's position through radiographic imaging.
Standardized Connector: Equipped with a universal 15mm connector at the proximal end, ensuring compatibility with standard ventilation equipment.
Q: What is the function of the cuff on this endotracheal tube?
A: The cuff is a high-volume, low-pressure balloon that creates a seal against the tracheal wall, which helps in delivering positive pressure ventilation and reduces the risk of aspiration.
Q: What material is the tube made of?
A: It is manufactured from non-toxic, medical-grade PVC, which is a thermosensitive material that softens at body temperature to conform to the patient's airway.
Q: Is this endotracheal tube reusable?
A: No, this is a sterile, single-use product that is E.T.O sterilized. It should be discarded after one use to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: How is the correct placement of the tube verified?
A: The tube includes a radio-opaque line that runs along its length, allowing for its position to be identified through imaging like an X-ray.
Q: Who is qualified to use this medical device?
A: This endotracheal tube is intended for use by trained medical professionals, such as anesthesiologists and intensivists, for airway management during general anaesthesia, intensive care, and in emergency situations.
The Sterimed Endotracheal Tube is designed to maintain a patent airway for patients requiring mechanical ventilation or assistance with breathing. Its cuffed construction secures the airway, preventing the entry of gastric contents or blood into the lungs. The tube is made from a thermo-sensitive PVC that softens with body heat, enhancing patient comfort during use. The smooth surface and polished Murphy eye are designed to minimize trauma during both intubation and extubation procedures.
This product is intended for use by trained medical professionals only.
Before use, check the integrity of the cuff by inflating it with a syringe and then deflating it.
Lubricate the distal end of the tube for smoother insertion, unless in an emergency.
Using a laryngoscope, carefully insert the tube through the patient's mouth or nose into the trachea.
Once in position, inflate the cuff to create a seal.
Confirm correct placement by auscultating for breath sounds in both lungs, observing chest expansion, and using an end-tidal CO2 monitor.
Secure the tube in place to prevent displacement.
For single-patient use only; do not reuse or re-sterilize.
Insertion should only be performed by healthcare professionals trained in endotracheal intubation.
Always confirm the tube's position after insertion to avoid accidental esophageal intubation.
Monitor the patient continuously for vital signs and any signs of complications, such as airway damage or infection.
Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for patients with a history of difficult intubation or significant respiratory conditions.
The product is sterile and pyrogen-free, supplied in an individual peelable pouch.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
The tube is made from materials including medical-grade PVC and may have a silicone elastomer coating.
