88-332, 420, 421, 422, 423, 424 and 425 contain
medical single-use products together with a tra-
cheostomy tube, which is intended for one patient
only.
Products for Single-Patient Use: The tracheostomy
tube contained in the tracheostomy set is a medical
product, which is only intended for one patient. Mul-
tiple uses for one and the same patient are permitted.
Useful Life of the tracheostomy tube: The manu-
facturer recommends that TRACOE
®
twist, TRACOE
®
vario and TRACOE
®
twist plus tracheostomy tubes
should not be used for more than 29 days. Even tubes
that exhibit only minor damage must be replaced.
Frequent replacement of the tracheostomy tubes, in
particular the inner tube, is recommended and should
be supervised by the responsible doctor.
Composition/Disposal: All products described
above consist of materials which are internationally
approved for medical use and contain no latex. Dis-
posal may only occur with the valid national regula-
tions for waste materials.
ATTENTION: Percutaneous tracheostomy should
only be carried out by doctors or under the instruc-
tion and supervision of doctors who are trained and
experienced in this technique. The intervention is
usually carried out by two people. One person car-
ries out the intervention while the second person
administers the anaesthetic, monitors the patient and
also has the responsibility for the bronchoscopic
control throughout the procedure.
Storage: The products must be stored in a cool
and dry location. Temporary storage for ≤ 30 days
at ≤ +50 °C is possible. Protect the product from
sunlight and extreme cold.
