How can I verify the placement of the tube?
The tube is equipped with several features to assist in verifying correct placement:
- X-ray opaque line: Provides clear visibility under imaging.
- Black positioning ring: A distinct mark for visual confirmation.
- Graduated markings: Allows clinicians to monitor and track precise insertion depth.
