This leakproofness test must also be performed prior to every renewed insertion (e.g. after
cleaning the tracheostomy tube) (see picture 7c).
The following are possible signs indicating leakages in the cuff (balloon):
- Externally visible damage to the balloon (holes, fissures etc.)
- Audible and/or tactile perception of air escaping from the balloon
- Water in inlet tubes of the tracheostomy tube (after cleaning!)
- Water in the cuff (after cleaning!)
- Water in the pilot balloon (after cleaning!)
- No cough stimulus when pressure is applied to the pilot balloon
CAUTION!
When testing the balloon or when inserting, removing or cleaning the tracheostomy
tube, never under any circumstances use sharp or pointed objects, such as for instance
forceps or clamps, since these can damage or even destroy the balloon. Should one of
the above-named signs of leakage be detectable, the tracheostomy tube must under no
circumstances be used any more since it is no longer functioning properly!
3.2 Obturator
The insertion aid serves to stabilise the tracheostomy tube during insertion into the tracheostoma.
Please check whether the obturator can easily be removed from the cannula before inserting
the tracheostomy tube!
After checking the obturator for ease of movement, reinsert the obturator into the cannula for
inserting the tracheostomy tube.

MRT:
The insertion aid can also be used to absorb secretion fluids and convey these to the secretion
container. At the end of the insertion aid, there is a tube connector/Fingertip, by means of which
the suction tube of the suction device is connected to the insertion aid (see picture 12)
The Fingertip/tube connector can be used to control the suction power of the suction device.
Please read the corresponding instructions for use of the suction device carefully.

SHORT:
The obturator enables changing the cannula by applying the Seldinger technique.
For this purpose, use a guide wire with a maximum diameter of 0.038 inches.
CAUTION!
Make sure to read all accompanying product information, instructions for use, indica
-
tions and contraindications. Discuss use of the product with your doctor/physician be
-
fore first use.
Insertion aids are single-patient products and are intended for single use only. They
must not be cleaned or disinfected.
3.3 Suction opening (only in Suction tracheostomy tube versions)
Secretions that have accumulated above the inflated cuff can be removed via the suction
opening in the outer tube of the Suction tracheostomy tubes.
The suction tube leading to the outside can be connected to a syringe or a suction device. The
user must decide in consultation with the treating physician and after appropriate risk analysis,
which of these suctioning variants to use. The individual disease condition of the patient should
be considered in this context.
Suctioning using a suctioning device may in any case only be performed if the suctioning device
is equipped with vacuum adjuster. The suction pressure must never exceed – 0.2 bar.
When using the suction variants of the tracheostomy tubes, the secretions that have accumulated
above the cuff must be suctioned off via the suction opening on the tracheostomy tube directly
before deflating the cuff in order to prevent aspiration of secretions. In this way, additional
suctioning with a suction catheter while deflating the cuff may be rendered unnecessary, which
facilitates handling significantly.
CAUTION!
When using any of the tracheostomy tube versions with a suctioning device („SUCTION“),
take special care during the suctioning procedure to generate a vacuum for as short a
time as possible; drying out of the subglottic space as a result of this must be avoided.
