I. FOREWORD
These instructions for use are valid for LARYVOX HME filter cassettes. The in-
®
structions for use serve to inform the physician, nursing staff and patient/user in
order to ensure technically correct handling. Please read the instructions for use
carefully before using the product for the first time!
II. INTENDED USE
LARYVOX HME filter cassettes are particle filters consisting of a foam filter and a
®
plastic housing. The LARYVOX HME filter cassettes are affixed over the tracheo-
®
stoma either on a special base plate with holding ring or on a tracheostomy tube
with combi-adapter or 22 mm connector. LARYVOX HME filter cassettes filter the
®
breathing air, thereby reducing intrusion of particles into the patient's airways. The
filter cassettes reduce the formation of viscous secretions in the lungs. They store
the moisture and warmth of the exhaled air in the filter medium and emit these to the
inhaled air again during inspiration.
When used for the first time the products must only be selected, used and
inserted by clinicians or medical professionals trained in their use.
III. WARNINGS
LARYVOX HME filter cassettes are single-patient products and are intended
®
for single use only. They must not be cleaned or disinfected, as use of disin-
fectant can render the filter unusable. Sterilisation and reuse can impair the
function and is therefore not permissible either. The LARYVOX HME filter
®
cassette must under no circumstances be inserted directly into the tracheo-
stoma!
