Only use perforated/fenestrated cannula variants during artificial respiration after consultation
with the treating doctor/physician.
CAUTION!
Tracheostomy tubes with speaking valves must not be used on any account by laryngectomised
patients, as this could lead to serious complications, even suffocation!
VI. PRECAUTIONS
The correct tracheostomy tube size should be selected by the treating physician or by trained medical
professionals.
We highly recommend always keeping at least two replacement tubes on hand to ensure continuous
supply.

The tracheostomy tubes are made of thermosensitive medical synthetics that develop their optimal
product properties at body temperature.
We supply the Fahl
Fahl tracheostomy tubes are reusable medical products intended for single-patient use.
®
Fahl tracheostomy tubes are only to be used by the same patient and not by another patient.

The package contains 1 tube, supplied sterile by ethylene oxide sterilization (EO).
The maximum period of use is 29 days (reckoned form the date on which the sterile package was
opened). If a pathogenic microbe (e.g. MRSA) is present, the period of use/indwelling time is reduced
accordingly.
The dimensional stability of the tube is ensured by the spiral in the wall of the soft tube material.
The variable length adjustment of the external section of the tracheostomy tube by means of the
height-adjustable neck flange with screw attachment as well as the anatomically optimised bend angle
of the highly flexible, spiral-reinforced cannula tube facilitate adaptation to the shape of the trachea and
guarantee high wearing comfort as well as tension-free seating in the tracheostoma.
The position of the neck flange can be easily documented and reproduced by means of an imprinted
scale with 10 mm graduations extending over a length of 5 cm.
Please see the size table in the appendix.
A particular feature of the Fahl
The tube tip is rounded to prevent irritation of the mucus membranes in the trachea.
There are two lateral fastening eyelets on the neck flange for attaching a tube holder.
It may be advisable to use tubes of different lengths alternately so the tip of the tube does not always
touch the same spot in the trachea and cause irritation. This prevents pressure points or the formation
of granulation tissue. Always discuss the exact procedure with your doctor/physician.
