Contents and Sizing Dimensions — Refer to Table 1.
The sizing dimensions as noted in Table 1 refer to the I.D. as the inside
diameter at the smallest location. O.D. is the outside diameter of the
cannula. Length is the distance from the patient side of the neck plate to
the patient end of the tube, measured on the centerline.
Indications For Use
This device is intended for use in providing tracheal access for airway
management.
WARNINGS:
• Carefully read these instructions prior to use. These instructions
are applicable only to the Shiley pediatric tracheostomy
tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff (PCF), Shiley long pediatric
tracheostomy tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff (PLCF) and Shiley
neonatal tracheostomy tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff (NCF).
• Sterile only if the protective package is not open, damaged or
broken. Do not expose to temperatures above 120°F (49°C).
Do not resterilize.
• Handle with due care to prevent user contamination prior to use.
• When using a laser or electrosurgical device in conjunction
with this or other tracheal tubes, care must be taken to avoid
contact with the tube. Such contact, especially in the presence
of oxygen-enriched mixtures or nitrous oxide containing
mixtures, could result in rapid combustion of the tube with
harmful thermal effects and with emission of corrosive and toxic
combustion products, including hydrochloric acid (HCl).
• Replacement tracheostomy tubes should be kept at the patient’s
bedside.
• The cuffed neonatal and pediatric tracheostomy tube (NCF, PCF
and PLCF) should never be plugged or capped because there
may not be sufficient airway for the patient to breathe even with
the cuff completely deflated.
• Excessive amounts of lubricant can dry on the inner surface of
the tracheostomy tube resulting in either a plug or a clear film
that may partially or totally block the airway.
• Each tube’s cuff, pilot balloon and valve should be tested by
inflation prior to use. If dysfunction is detected in any part of
the inflation system, the tube should not be used.
• Do not overinflate the cuff. Ordinarily, cuff pressure should
not exceed 25 cm of H2O in pediatric patients. As safe cuff
pressure in neonatal patients may be less than 25 cm H2O,
closely monitor cuff pressure under a physician’s guidance.
