Postavljanje i priprema
- Pregledajte pakovanje: Before opening, visually inspect the sterile packaging for any damage or compromise. Do not use if the package is damaged or opened.
- Provjerite sadržaj: Ensure all components are present and intact: outer cannula, inner cannula, obturator, and neck flange.
- Procjena pacijenta: Perform a thorough patient assessment to confirm the appropriate size and type of tracheostomy tube.
- podmazivanje: If necessary, lubricate the outer cannula with a water-soluble lubricant to facilitate insertion.
- Umetanje: Insert the obturator into the outer cannula. The obturator should extend slightly beyond the distal tip of the outer cannula.

Uputstvo za upotrebu
Rutinska upotreba
- Inner Cannula Management: The unique inner cannula can be cleaned an unlimited number of times within a 29-day tube-use cycle. Regularly remove and clean the inner cannula to prevent mucus buildup and maintain airway patency.
- Fenestration: The fenestrated design allows for airflow through the vocal cords, potentially enabling speech. Ensure the inner cannula is removed or a fenestrated inner cannula is in place for speech attempts.
- Cuffless Design: This tube is cuffless, meaning it does not have an inflatable balloon. This design is suitable for patients who do not require positive pressure ventilation or who have a stable airway.
Speech and Decannulation
For patients ready for speech, the fenestrated design allows air to pass through the vocal cords when the inner cannula is removed or a fenestrated inner cannula is used. Consult with a speech-language pathologist for appropriate assessment and training.
Decannulation should only be performed by a qualified medical professional following a comprehensive assessment of the patient's airway and respiratory status.
Održavanje i čišćenje
Inner Cannula Cleaning
The inner cannula should be cleaned regularly to prevent obstruction. Follow these steps:

- Clean the inner cannula using a sterile brush and sterile water or saline solution.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all debris and cleaning solution.
- Inspect the inner cannula for cleanliness and integrity.
- Reinsert the clean inner cannula into the outer cannula, ensuring it locks securely in place.
