Maximum Cuff Pressure
Hardware controls the cuff deflation to prevent cuff pressure from exceeding the following
maximum pressures:
Inflation Source
This inflation source is capable of supplying sufficient air to bring a volume of 200cc’s to a
pressure of 300 mmHg in no more than 10 seconds. If the cuff is not inflated to the desired
pressure within 60 seconds, the cuff is vented and a retry cycle is initiated.
Leak Rate
With the bleed valve closed, the maximum pressure drop shall be 1 mmHg in 10 seconds
measured with a 200cc volume at a differential pressure of 250 mmHg, 150 mmHg, and 50
mmHg.
Cuff Vent Rate
When the unit is vented in adult mode, a volume of at least 500 cc’s is reduced from a
pressure of 260 mmHg to a pressure of 15 mmHg in a maximum of 10 seconds. When the
unit is vented in neonate mode, a volume of at least 500 cc’s is reduced from a pressure of
150 mmHg to a pressure of 5 mmHg in a maximum of 5 seconds.
