IV. COMPLICATIONS
The following complications could emerge when using this device:
Contamination of the stoma may make it necessary to remove the tube. Contaminations can
furthermore cause infections that necessitate the use of antibiotics.
Unintentional Inhalation of a tube that was not sized correctly may need to be removed by a
doctor/physician. If mucus blocks the tube it should be removed and cleaned.
V. CONTRAINDICATIONS
Do not use if the patient is allergic to the material.
CAUTION!
Never under any circumstances use cannula variants without cuff for patients on
mechanical ventilation!
CAUTION!
Only use perforated/fenestrated cannula variants during artificial respiration after
consultation with the treating doctor/physician.
CAUTION!
Tracheostomy tubes with speaking valves must not be used on any account by laryn
-
gectomised patients, as this could lead to serious complications, even suffocation!
VI. PRECAUTIONS
The correct tracheostomy tube size should be selected by the treating physician or by trained
medical professionals.
In order to rule out accidental detachment of auxiliary equipment or damage to the tube, insert
only auxiliary equipment with a 15 mm connection into Fahl
®
UNI adapters.
We highly recommend always keeping at least two replacement tubes on hand to ensure
continuous supply.
CAUTION!
When increased tensile forces occur during mechanical ventilation, e.g. due to stiff swivel
connectors connected to the tracheostomy tube or due to uncontrolled movements of
the patient, the inner cannula can be accidentally twisted out of the outer cannula. The
patient must therefore be monitored, or the tracheostomy tube and/or the tube system
must be replaced if necessary.
CAUTION!
Do not perform any type of adjustment, repair or alteration on a tracheostomy tube or
compatible accessories. If a product is damaged, it must be discarded immediately.

MRT:
The variable length adjustment of the external section of the tracheostomy tube by means of
the height-adjustable neck flange with screw attachment as well as the anatomically optimised
bend angle of the highly flexible, spiral-reinforced cannula tube facilitate adaptation to the
shape of the trachea and guarantee high wearing comfort as well as tension-free seating in
the tracheostoma.
The position of the neck flange can be easily documented and reproduced by means of an
imprinted scale with 10 mm graduations extending over a length of 5 cm.
