Intended Use
The Hospitech AG Cuffill is intended to measure and regulate the intra-cuff pressure of endotracheal tubes, Tracheotomy tubes and Laryngeal Masks Airways (LMAs). The Hospitech AG Cuffill is used under medical supervision in hospitals, pre-hospital (EMS), extended care facilities and outpatient clinics, where a patient may be intubated.
Device Story
AG Cuffill is a disposable, battery-powered, handheld device for measuring and manually regulating intra-cuff pressure of endotracheal, tracheotomy, and LMA tubes. Configured as a syringe with an embedded pressure gauge, it is operated by clinicians in hospitals, EMS, and clinics. The device provides direct pressure readings to the user, enabling manual adjustment of cuff inflation to maintain appropriate pressure levels. This helps ensure proper airway sealing and reduces risks associated with over- or under-inflation of the cuff. The device is limited to 100 operations and is intended for single-patient use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included design verification, accuracy verification (accuracy within ±1 mmHg throughout device lifetime), and comparative testing against the Posey Cufflator. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Handheld, battery-powered syringe-based pressure gauge. Disposable, single-patient use, limited to 100 operations. Complies with IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60601-1-6 (usability), and ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility).
Indications for Use
Indicated for measuring and regulating intra-cuff pressure of endotracheal tubes, tracheotomy tubes, and laryngeal mask airways (LMAs) in intubated patients across hospital, pre-hospital (EMS), extended care, and outpatient clinical settings under medical supervision.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An inflatable tracheal tube cuff is a device used to provide an airtight seal between a tracheal tube and a patient's trachea.
