REF 721 TRACOE cuff pressure monitor sensitive (cpms) Packaging unit: Including: 1 unit 1 connection tube REF 702 The TRACOE cuff pressure monitor sensitive (cpms) is used to fill and monitor the pressure of high-volume-lowpressure cuffs of tracheostomy and endotracheal tubes. Its outstanding features and benefits: asy and safe in- and deflation e recise, reproducible pressure indication p s ensitive adjustment of cuff pressure by red pressure button easy-to-read scale with green colour coded pressure range between 20 and 30 cmH2O (from 0 – 120 cmH2O) stable / solid and flexible fastening hook v acuum valve for deflation The subglottic secretion suction with the aim to reduce the VAP rate of patients with an expected ventilation period of more than 72 hours was classified as category IA of the recommendations by the German Commission for Hospital Hygiene and Infectious Disease Prevention (guidelines for hospital hygiene and infection prevention issued by the Robert Koch Institute, KRINKO)*. The recommendation specifies that the cuff pressure level should be set between 20 and 30 cmH2O and checked at regular intervals. The recommendation is part of category IB. When these two actions are taken in combination, they can help to reduce the incidence of pneumonia. * Prevention of nosocominal ventilator-associated pneumonia (Prävention der nosokominalen beatmungsassoziierten Pneumonie, KRINKO), German Federal Health Gazette (Bundesgesundheitsblatt) 2013 – 56:1578-1590 Connecting tube Following connecting tube for TRACOE cuff pressure monitor sensitive can be ordered separately: TRACOE technic Connection Tube REF 702
