CAUTION!
Never under any circumstances use cannula variants without low-pressure cuff for
patients on mechanical respiration!
CAUTION!
Only use perforated/fenestrated cannula variants during artificial respiration after
consultation with the treating doctor/physician.
CAUTION!
During mechanical ventilation, never under any circumstances use DURATWIX
versions without inner cannula that are equipped with a universal connector that
can be attached to the outer cannula by a rotating movement and is not permanently
attached to the outer cannula!
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.
Use only auxiliary equipment with a 22 mm connection with Fahl
prevent accidental loss of accessories or damage to the tube.
We highly recommend always keeping at least two replacement tubes on hand to ensure
continuous supply.
When increased tensile forces occur during mechanical ventilation, e.g. due to
stiff swivel connectors connected to the tracheostomy tube or due to uncontrolled
movements of the patient, the inner cannula can be accidentally twisted out of the
outer cannula. The patient must therefore be monitored, or the tracheostomy tube
and/or the tube system must be replaced if necessary.
Do not perform any type of adjustment, repair or alteration on a tracheostomy tube or
compatible accessories. If a product is damaged, it must be discarded immediately.
CAUTION!
United States Federal law restricts this device to sale, distribution and use by or on
order of a physician or a licensed practitioner (in the US only).
