Frequently asked questions
Does this system maintain ventilator circuit integrity?
Yes. The Portex SuctionPro 72 is specifically engineered to maintain a closed circuit during airway clearance. This design is critical for ventilator-dependent patients as it helps preserve positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and significantly lowers the risk of cross-contamination.
Is this device suitable for long-term use?
This system is optimized for a 72-hour clinical lifespan for a single patient. This extended duration provides a reliable solution for sustained respiratory care and helps reduce the frequency of system changes.
Does the design allow for clear visual monitoring?
Absolutely. The device features a clear T-piece and pathway evacuation port, which enables clinicians to maintain full visibility of the suctioning process and easily monitor secretion removal.
How is the suction intensity controlled?
The system features a lockable thumb valve end cap. This design provides clinicians with precise, intuitive control over the suctioning process, allowing for safe and responsive operation.
Is there a tool provided for safer disconnections?
Yes, every unit includes the Trac-Wedge device. This tool is specifically designed to assist in the safe and controlled disconnection of the catheter from the patient’s tracheal or tracheostomy tube, offering an ergonomic advantage during care.
Is the catheter protected from external contaminants?
Yes. The system utilizes a flexible, thin-walled protective sleeve that acts as a sterile barrier between the catheter and the surrounding environment, ensuring that the airway remains protected throughout the suctioning procedure.
Is this model specifically designed for adult patients?
Yes, this 12 Fr. model is specifically engineered for use with adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation.
Can this be used for multiple patients?
No. The Portex SuctionPro 72 is strictly for single-patient use to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and patient safety.
What is the primary material quality of the housing?
The housing is constructed from medical-grade, transparent plastic. This material selection is chosen specifically for its durability and clarity, allowing for consistent monitoring of the airway path.
Is the T-piece compatible with standard circuits?
Yes, the device is designed with a T-piece style configuration, which allows for seamless and secure integration into standard respiratory circuits used in clinical settings.
