Essential prescribing information

Frova Intubating Introducer

ESSENTIAL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

CAUTION: U.S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician (or properly licensed practitioner).

INTENDED USE: The Frova Intubating Introducer is intended to facilitate endotracheal intubation in patients where the visualisation of the glottis is inadequate. The 14 French catheter introducer has been designed for placement of a single lumen endotracheal tube whose inner diameter is 6 mm or larger.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not use if the epiglottis cannot be visualised when performing laryngoscopy, i.e, Grade IV Cormack & Lehane laryngoscopy classification.

WARNINGS: Do not use the Frova Intubating Introducer with double lumen endotracheal or endobronchial tubes. • To avoid barotrauma and/or pneumothorax, examine the patient’s anatomy to help determine the optimal placement for the Frova Intubating Introducer. Ensure the catheter is in the physician-preferred location relative to the carina by referencing its centimeter markings. • Care must be taken not to provoke injury to the epiglottis and glottis, perforation of the sinus pyriformis, trachea or bronchus. • The use of removable Rapi-Fit Adapters permits the utilisation of a high- and low-pressure oxygen source, if necessary, during the procedure. Use of the Rapi-Fit Adapter for oxygenation may be associated with a risk of barotrauma. • Use of an oxygen source should only be considered if the patient has sufficient egression of the insufflated gas volume. • If a high-pressure oxygen source is used for insufflation (e.g., jet ventilator), begin at a lower pressure and work up gradually. Rising chest wall, pulse oximetry and oral air flow should be carefully monitored. Table 2 provides information on catheter oxygenation. • Ensure that the Rapi-Fit Adapter is securely connected to the Frova catheter prior to oxygen delivery. Failure to properly secure the adapter to the catheter introducer may result in hypoxia, hypoxaemia and serious adverse events. • Lubricate the catheter introducer and endotracheal tube before use. • Ensure proper sizing of the endotracheal tube to be used in combination with the Frova Intubating Introducer. • Care must be taken when introducing/removing the catheter introducer from the endotracheal tube; contact with sharp edges on the internal surface of the endotracheal tube may cause small fragments to be shaved off the catheter introducer during introduction/removal. • Possible allergic reactions (e.g., to butyl rubber) should be considered.

PRECAUTIONS: The product is intended for use by physicians trained and experienced in airway management. • Sizing of the Rapi-Fit Adapter and the Frova Intubating Introducer must match in order to provide oxygenation through the catheter introducer. • Not for intravascular use.

POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS: Allergic reaction (e.g., to butyl rubber) • Barotrauma • Hypoxia or hypoxaemia • Injury to the epiglottis and glottis, perforation of the sinus pyriformis, trachea or bronchus • Pneumothorax

Aintree Intubation Catheter

ESSENTIAL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

CAUTION: U.S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician (or properly licensed practitioner).

INTENDED USE: The Aintree Intubation Catheter has been designed for assisted fiberoptic intubation and for uncomplicated, atraumatic endotracheal tube exchange.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: None known

WARNINGS: Possible allergic reactions should be considered. • Do not advance the catheter beyond the carina. Attention should be paid to the depth of insertion of the catheter into the patient’s airway, and to the correct tracheal position of the endotracheal tube. Markers on the catheter refer to distance from the tip of the catheter. • Take care not to injure the epiglottis and glottis, or to perforate the sinus pyriformis, trachea or bronchus. • Use of the Rapi-Fit adapter for oxygenation may be associated with a risk of barotrauma. • Use of an oxygen source should only be considered if the patient has sufficient egression of the insufflated gas volume. • If a high-pressure oxygen source is used for insufflation (e.g., jet ventilator), begin at a lower pressure and work up gradually. Rising chest wall, pulse oximetry and oral air flow should be carefully monitored. • Ensure proper sizing of the catheter within an endotracheal tube. Failure to do so may cause small fragments to be shaved off during removal of the catheter. • To avoid barotrauma, ensure that the tip of the AIC catheter is always above the carina, preferably 2-3 cm.

PRECAUTIONS: This product is intended for use by physicians trained and experienced in airway management techniques. Standard techniques for placement and exchange of endotracheal tubes should be employed. • This product is not intended for intravascular use. • Lubricate the catheter and endotracheal tube before use. • Do not attempt to place a fiberoptic scope through the Rapi-Fit adapter. The adapter must be removed prior to scope insertion. • The potential effects of phthalates on pregnant//nursing women or children have not been fully characterized and there may be concern for reproductive and developmental effects.

POTENTIAL ADVERSE EVENTS: Barotrauma • Perforation of the bronchi or lung parenchyma • Pneumothorax

Cook® Retrograde Intubation Set

The Cook Retrograde Intubation Set is intended to assist in intubation during difficult airway access procedures in adult and pediatric patients.1

Features & Benefits

  • Using the Seldinger technique via the cricothyroid membrane for initial access permits retrograde (cephalad) placement of a wire guide that exits orally or nasally.
  • The catheter’s tapered tip allows for smoother navigation through the patient’s anatomy.
  • The antegrade introduction of a hollow intubation catheter with distal sideports and Rapi-Fit adapters allows you to provide the patient with oxygen and facilitates the placement of an endotracheal tube.
  1. The 6 French intubation catheter is recommended for placement of an endotracheal tube with an inner diameter of 2.5 mm or larger. The 11 French intubation catheter is recommended for placement of an endotracheal tube with an inner diameter of 4.0 mm or larger. The 14 French intubation catheter is recommended for placement of an endotracheal tube with an inner diameter of 5.0 mm or larger. When used for high-pressure oxygenation with a Luer lock connector, the 14 French intubation catheter is recommended for patients older than 12 years of age.

For complete instructions, age-specific recommendations, contraindications, warnings, and precautions, see the Instructions for Use included with each product.
