Connections
15 mm female connector for ET tube or tracheostomy tube. 4 mm connector for sup-
plemental oxygen supply. Use appropriate size of oxygen tubing. The TrachPhone
has a valve for forced inspiration/expiration or suctioning.
Instructions for use
The device should be placed at the open end of the ET tube or tracheostomy tube.
Check that the connection is properly fixed. If supplemental oxygen is required,
connect an oxygen tube to the oxygen port. Normal efficiency is reached after a
few breaths. Should be replaced every 24 hours or as required, to avoid resistance
increase due to accumulation of secretions.
Before use, check product for deformity and valve function by closing the valve
and releasing it. Do not use if the device shows any signs of defect. Do not use if the
package is opened or damaged.
Disposal
Always follow medical practice and national requirements regarding biohazards
when disposing of a used medical device.
Speech valve
The TrachPhone contains a valve with a spring that can easily be occluded with a
finger facilitating speech. After releasing the finger, the valve will open automati-
cally.
Contraindications
Do not use beyond recommended tidal volume range, as the added dead space may
cause CO
retention at too low tidal volumes. A too high tidal volume may lead to
2
unsatisfactory humidification.
Do not use on dehydrated patients or patients with very heavy secretions from
the lungs and airways.
