    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    EVALUATION RESULTS: TWO CUSTOMIZED 4.5MM TRACHEOSTOMY TUBES (ID HYPERFLEX FLEXTENDS WITH FIXED CONNECTORS AND TTS CUFFS) WERE RETURNED FOR INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THE CUSTOMER WAS UNABLE TO INFLATE THE DEVICES. BOTH DEVICES WERE INFLATED USING 7CC'S OF AIR. BOTH DEVICES FULLY INFLATED WITH A SMALL AREA STUCK TO THE SHAFT, CAUSING THE CUFF TO APPEAR ASYMMETRICAL. THE CUFFS WERE DEFLATED AND GENTLY MASSAGED, AS SPECIFIED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (IFU). THE CUFFS WERE THEN INFLATED AGAIN WITH 7CC'S OF AIR AND THE CUFF INFLATED PROPERLY. BOTH DEVICES WERE LEAK TESTED IN A WATER BATH AND NO LEAKS WERE DETECTED. AFTER THE CUFF WAS MANIPULATED, AS STATED IN THE IFU, THEY INFLATED PROPERLY AND WERE SYMMETRICAL.
