• Suction port cap reduces risk of infection and helps to eliminate leakage
• Soft but strong catheter sleeve
• MDI Adaptor for integrated inhaler capability
• Patient labels colored by day for easy identification
• Trac-Wedge™ device to aid in disconnection of the catheter from the patient’s endotracheal or tracheostomy tube
• Dual swivel connector to reduce torque to patient
• Sterile and single patient use
• Size: 12fr with 300mm (12 inches) length

Instructions for Use:

Preparation:

• Before attaching the system to the patient, turn on the suction. Ensure the lock is turned to the ‘OPEN’ position and check the operation of the control valve by sliding back the actuator. Set suction flow at prescribed level. Once in the fully back position, release and make sure the device shuts correctly
• Attach ventilator circuit to dual-swivel or T piece adaptor
• Attach the dual-swivel or T piece adaptor to the tracheal or tracheostomy tube connector
• Attach male connector of the SuctionPro72™ Closed Ventilation Suction System device to suction tubing
• Attach the suction tubing to the male connector of the SuctionPro72™ closed ventilation suction system

To Suction:

• Ensure the suction control valve lock is in the ‘OPEN’ position. Advance the catheter to the desired depth while holding the patient end steady. If resistance is met, withdraw the catheter 2-3 cm before applying suction
• Grasp the control valve and apply backwards-sliding pressure on the blue thumb actuator to suction. Note: Maximum suction is achieved by sliding the actuator fully back
• Withdraw the catheter slowly with suction activated in a straight motion to avoid kinking until blue mark is just fully visible in catheter sleeve
• Ensure the catheter tip is out of the breathing path and in-line with the saline port. Begin to clean catheter tip with saline. The saline should be administered through the irrigation inlet while vacuum is applied making sure the tip and area surrounding it is fully flushed with saline. Release control valve actuator and turn the valve lock to the ‘CLOSE’ position when finished
