INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

AG Cuffill Hospitech Respiration

AG Cuffill Intended Use and 1 Intended User
Intended Use: (Indications for Use):
The Hospice AG Cuffill is intended to measure and regulate the intra-cuff pressure of Endotracheal tubes, Tracheotomy tubes, and Laryngeal Masks Airways (LMAs) (supraglottic airways).
Intended User:
The Hospice AG Cuffill is used under medical supervision in hospitals, pre- hospital (EMS), extended care facilities, and outpatient clinics, where a patient may be intubated.
The AG Cuffill is intended for an air-filled cuff and should not be used with liquids, which will cause damage.
The AG COM should not be used for continuous monitoring. It should be disconnected each time, after use.
The AG Cuffill should be kept in a dry environment during transport and storage.
Make sure that the luer (connector) is at the tip of my outfit! is clear of any obstruction and is open to ambient pressure.

Instructions for Use
(1) Measuring Cuff Pressure: (See the following figure.) 6. Turn ON the AG Cuffill by pressing the power button on the right side of the display. The display will blink twice showing the number of readings left and then will display “00”.(see section 6 – Display)
7. Push the syringe plunger in until it stops.
8. Connect the AG Cuffill to the Airway cuff inflation line and read the pressure value.
9. If required, cuff pressure may be reduced by pulling back the plunger until the required pressure is achieved.
10. Disconnect the AG Cuffill from the cuff inflation line.
Instructions for Use
Adjusting Cuff Pressure:(See the following figure.) 6. Turn the AG Cuffill ON by pressing the power button on the right side of the display. The display will blink twice showing the number of readings left and then will display “00” (see section 6 – Display)
7. Position the plunger about halfway out.
8. Connect the AG Cuffill to the Airway cuff inflation line.
9. Adjust the plunger until the required pressure is achieved. If the required pressure is not achieved, disconnect the AG Cuffill. pull the plunger 1-2 cc backward and repeat this step.
10. Disconnect the AG Cuffill from the Airway cuff inflation line.
ATTENTION: When disconnecting, the Cuff pressure may be may drop by 1-2 cmH20/mmHg.

Cleaning, Disinfection, and Storage Instructions

General instructions for cleaning and disinfection:
✓ The cleaning and disinfection process described below is to be applied after each patient. The Cuff is limited to 100 uses on the same or different patients.
✓ Use soft, clean. new pads, taking care not to saturate the pads.
✓ Pull out the plunger from the syringe barrel.
✓ While cleaning or disinfection, prevent the entry of any fluid into the AG Cuffill sensor at the tip of the black gasket.
Cleaning:

Soak a clean pad with Alconox 1% (diluted with distilled water) or Septa! Scrub 4% Chlorhexidine solution.
Wipe the device surfaces (barrel and plunger) and clean thoroughly until the product is clean from contamination. Repeat at least 4 times.
Soak a clean pad with distilled water. Wipe and clean the device surfaces.
Wipe the device surfaces with a dry pad and make sure to leave them to dry for one hour on a clean surface in the room.
Disinfection:
Soak a clean pad with either: Alcohol IPA 70% or Hydrogen Peroxide 1.4 %.
Wipe the device Surfaces (barrel and plunger) and clean thoroughly until the product is clean from contamination. Repeat at least 4 times.
Wipe the device surfaces with a dry pad and make sure to leave them to dry for 2 minutes on a clean surface in the room.
After completing the cleaning process and disinfection process, insert the plunger back into the syringe barrel. The Cuff is now ready to be used on a new patient.
Storage Between Same or New Patients:
While being used in an ICU for the same patient: the device should be kept at the patient bedside trolley/bench.
While stored between patients: As other medical devices, it should be kept in a closed cabinet in the unit storage room. It is recommended to store it in a disposable plastic bag.

Display

When first pressing the button:
Immediately after pressing the power button, the display blinks twice, indicating the number of operations left, and then will display 00 indicating the device is ready for use.
Display blinks 1H:
Counter – over 1 Hundred operations left.
NOTE: a new device may show 1H a few times.
Display blinking values 99 to 01: Counter – number of operations leftt.
The display reads 00 after blinking: Normal. Ready for Use.
During measurement:
The display reads 00 to 99: The value of pressure measured.
The display reads UP: Under Pressure. Vacuum.
The display reads OP: Over Pressure, above 99 cmH2O /mmHg.
Diagnostics:
The display reads El and shuts down:
End of allowed user operations.
The display reads E2, E3, or E4 and shuts down:
System error. The device is unusable.
The display reads any value other than ’00’ after blinking:
Calibration required. Perform calibration. (See below)
Display Flickers:
EMC interference: Do not use. (See more In chapter 7)
Calibration:
Calibration can only be carried out when the Cuffill is disconnected from the cuff inflation line.

Make sure that the AG Cuffill connector (Luer) is clear of any obstructions.
Press and hold the Power Button for more than 5 seconds.
‘ – -‘ followed by ’00’ should be displayed. If a value other than ’00’ appears, the device is not usable.
NOTE: The device automatically turns OFF 60 seconds after activation.

Information on Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) &EMC Declarations(IEC 60606-1-2)
WARNING: “Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.”
WARNING: “Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the AG Cuffill including cables speciﬁed by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.”
WARNING: “Avoid using equipment in case of the display ﬂickers with no ability to read the value during the disturbance”.

NOTE: If necessary to achieve the IMMUNITY TEST LEVEL, the distance between the transmitting antenna and the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM may be reduced to 1 m. The 1 m test distance is permitted by IEC 61000-4-3.
a) For some services, only the uplink frequencies are included.
b) The carrier shall be modulated using a 50 % duty cycle square wave signal.
c) As an alternative to FM modulation, 50 % pulse modulation at 18 Hz may be used because while it does not represent actual modulation, it would be the worst case.
