Check the use-by or expiry date. Do not use after this date.
It is advisable to use sterile disposable gloves.
Carefully examine the tube before first use to make sure that it is not damaged and that there
are no loose parts.
Should you notice any anomaly or anything unusual, DO NOT use the tube. Return the tube to
the manufacturer for inspection.
The tube must always be cleaned and, if necessary, disinfected as follows before re-inserting
according to the instructions provided below.
If secretion collects in the lumen of the Fahl
®
tracheostomy tube or stoma button and cannot be
removed by coughing or aspiration, the tube should be removed and cleaned.
After cleaning and/or disinfection, carefully examine the Fahl
®
tracheostomy tube for sharp
edges, cracks, or other signs of damage, since these may impair function and/or injure the
mucus membranes in the airways.
Never under any circumstances continue using damaged tracheostomy tubes.
1. Insertion of the tube
Step-by-step instructions to insert Fahl
®
tracheostomy tubes.
Before application, users should clean their hands (see picture 3).
Remove tube from the package (see picture 4).
If an obturator is used, please note the following instructions:

Insert the obturator into the cannula tube.
Make sure that the tip of the insertion aid
a) protrudes only a few millimetres beyond the tip of the tracheostomy tube (proximal end of
tube) when inserting the tube into the tracheostoma (see picture 13),
b) If a suction device is connected, make sure that the tip protrudes so far beyond the tip of the
tracheostomy tube (proximal end) that at least the first hole and at most the second hole (see
picture 14) is fully visible.
The insertion aid must be held in this position during the entire procedure.

SHORT:
First fully insert the obturator into the cannula tube so that the collar on the gripping
piece of the obturator comes into contact with the outer edge of the 15 mm connector.
The tip of the olive projects beyond the tip of the cannula (proximal end of cannula).
The insertion aid must be held in this position during the entire procedure.
When using tracheostomy tubes with cuff, pay special attention to the following points:
Before inserting the tracheostomy tube, check the cuff (balloon) as well - the cuff must be free
of damages of any kind and must be leakproof so as to ensure tight sealing as required. We
therefore recommend to perform a leakproofness test prior to every insertion (see Section
VII, 3.1.1). The balloon must be completely empty prior to insertion of the tracheostomy tube
(see picture 7b)! When using an aid for dilating the tracheostoma, take care to ensure that the
tracheostomy tube, and especially the cuff, is not damaged by friction.
Then a tracheal compress is pushed onto the tracheostomy tube.
To increase the lubricity of the tracheostomy tube and thus facilitate insertion into the trachea, it
is recommended to wipe the outer tube with an OPTIFLUID
®
stoma oil wipe (REF 31550), which
allows even distribution of the stoma oil on the tube (see Figs. 4a and 4b) or Fahl
®
OPTIFLUID
®
Lubricant Gel 20g tube (REF 36100) or Fahl
®
OPTIFLUID
®
Lubricant Gel 3g sachet
(REF 36105).
If you are inserting the tube yourself, use a mirror to make insertion of the Fahl
®
tracheostomy
tube easier.

The locking screw of the neck flange is only slightly tightened to ensure that the neck flange can
be adjusted for optimum fit after the tracheostomy tube has been inserted.
When inserting the Fahl
®
tracheostomy tube, hold it by the neck flange with one hand (see
picture 5).
Pull the tracheostoma slightly apart with your free hand to allow the tip of the tube to fit into the
tracheostoma more easily.
Special aids for dilating the tracheostoma are also available. These allow the tracheostoma to
be dilated gently and evenly, for instance also in emergency situations with collapsing tracheo
-
stoma (see picture 6).
