The Cuffix is intended to measure and regulate, through passive control, intracuff pressure of Endotracheal tubes, Tracheotomy tubes and Laryngeal Masks Airways (LMAs) (supraglottic airways). The device is intended for single patient use, under medical supervision in hospitals, pre-hospital (EMS), extended care facilities or outpatient clinics, where a patient may be intubated.
A manually-powered device designed to instill air into the cuff of an in situ endotracheal (ET)/endobronchial tube. The inflator typically includes a manually-operated rubber bulb for the delivery of ambient air into the cuff, and a pressure gauge or manometer that displays the pressure within the cuff to help prevent the development of excessive pressure which may cause trauma to the trachea. The purpose of the cuff is to provide an adequate seal for positive pressure ventilation and to prevent aspirated secretions from passing into the lungs. This is a reusable device.
