Intended Use - PROVOX Adhesives Manual De Instrucciones

Intended use

The Provox Adhesives are single use devices intended for laryngectomized
patients breathing through a tracheostoma. The devices are attached to the
skin around the tracheostoma in order to provide attachment of components
of the Provox HME System.
WARNINGS
• The adhesive may irritate the skin. Stop using the adhesive if skin irritation
develops and consult your clinician.
• Do not use the Provox Adhesives during radiotherapy that is delivered to the
area covered by the adhesive. Consult your clinician before you resume use
of the adhesive after radiation therapy.
• Reuse will affect performance and may cause transfer of micro-organisms
leading to infections.
• Only use genuine Provox devices intended for use with Provox Adhesives.
Other devices may cause personal injury or damage to the products.
Instructions for use
Preparation
Inspect that the adhesive is not damaged or has tears in the adhesive or around
the base plate. Always clean the skin with a Provox Cleaning Towel and/or soap
and water and let the skin dry before applying the adhesive.
Application
If needed, you can apply skin protection products, like Provox Skin Barrier or
adhesive supporting products such as Provox Silicone Glue (read the Instructions
for Use accompanying the product). For guidance on how to apply, see figures
1.1 - 1.8 and 2.1 - 2.4.
Removal
Peel the adhesive off gently, using the finger lift tab. An adhesive remover,
e.g. Provox Adhesive Remover (read the Instructions for Use accompanying
the product), may be helpful for removing adhesives. Always clean the skin
with a Provox Cleaning Towel and/or soap and water after removal. Dry the
area carefully.
CAUTION:
• When cleaning the skin from residual glue, prevent particles/fluids from
entering the tracheostoma.
