Frequently asked questions
Are these reinforced tubes suitable for oral or nasal intubation?
Yes, the ICU Medical Reinforced Endotracheal Tubes are explicitly intended for professional medical use, supporting both oral and nasal intubation procedures.
These critical airway management devices offer several key advantages:
- Reinforced Construction: Designed to provide enhanced structural integrity, helping the tube resist kinking and maintain airway patency.
- Murphy Eye Design: Features a Murphy Eye configuration for reliable ventilation.
- Variety of Sizing: Available in a wide range of Internal Diameters, from 5.0mm up to 9.5mm, to accommodate diverse patient needs.
All tubes are supplied in Factory New condition and are packaged in quantities of five per box (5/bx).
How many endotracheal tubes are included in one box?
These tubes are sold in boxes of 5 tubes per box.
Where are these endotracheal tubes manufactured?
These endotracheal tubes are manufactured in the US.
Is the reinforced construction highly durable?
Yes, these ICU Medical Endotracheal Tubes feature a specialized reinforced construction to ensure excellent durability and structural integrity throughout airway management.
Key benefits of this design include:
- Structural Integrity: The reinforcement is intended to maintain the tube’s shape and structural integrity, helping to prevent kinking or collapse during use.
- Reliable Airflow: These tubes also incorporate the proven Murphy Eye design, which serves as an auxiliary opening to help ensure continuous and reliable ventilation, even if the primary distal opening is partially blocked.
All tubes are supplied by ICU Medical in Factory New condition.
Do these reinforced tubes feature a Murphy Eye?
Yes, all configurations of the ICU Medical Reinforced Endotracheal Tubes are equipped with the Murphy Eye design. This feature is a standard configuration known for promoting reliable ventilation.
The Murphy Eye is an essential safety feature designed to maintain airflow:
- Alternate Airway: It provides an alternative passage for gas flow.
- Occlusion Prevention: This helps ensure effective ventilation even if the primary distal opening of the tube is partially occluded by secretions or contact with the tracheal tissue.
What is the expected lead time for shipping?
The estimated shipping lead time for the ICU Medical Reinforced Endotracheal Tubes is typically 4–5 weeks.
Does the reinforced construction ensure reliability?
Yes, the reinforced construction is a core selling point specifically designed to maximize durability and reliability during airway management.
Key benefits of the reinforcement include:
- Enhanced Structural Integrity: The reinforcement helps the tube maintain its shape and significantly resists potential deformation or collapse during use.
- Reliable Airflow: By minimizing the risk of kinking or compression, the design ensures a continuous and unobstructed pathway for mechanical ventilation.
- Increased Durability: This robust design makes the tubes highly reliable in demanding clinical settings.
What sizing configurations are available?
The ICU Medical Reinforced Endotracheal Tubes are available in a wide variety of configurations, accommodating internal diameters (ID) from 5.0mm up to 9.5mm. These tubes also feature a Murphy Eye design and reinforced construction.
The key specifications that vary across the ten configurations are:
- Internal Diameter (ID): Ranges from 5.0mm to 9.5mm.
- External Diameter (OD): Ranges from 8.2mm to 13.7mm.
- Overall Length: Ranges from 259mm to 338mm.
- Cuff Size: Includes Cuff sizes 17, 23, and 30.
All variants are supplied in Factory New condition and are packaged as 5 tubes per box.
What cuff size options are offered?
The ICU Medical Reinforced Endotracheal Tubes are available with a range of cuff sizes designed to ensure an effective seal during airway management. The cuff sizes range from Size 17 up to Size 30, depending on the specific tube configuration (Inner Diameter).
While the full range is available, the sizes typically utilized across the various tube dimensions include:
- Cuff 17: Used for smaller tube configurations (e.g., 5.0mm ID).
- Cuff 23: Used for mid-range configurations.
- Cuff 30: Used for the largest configurations, ranging up to 9.5mm ID.
Does the reinforced construction ensure integrity?
Yes, the core feature of these tubes is their reinforced construction. This design is specifically engineered to provide enhanced structural integrity throughout use, ensuring reliability during critical airway management and respiratory support procedures.
