Intended Use
The device is intended to be used to provide an artificial airway in order to provide access to the patient's airway for airway management. When inserted in a tracheotomy stoma, the device is secured in place with a neck strap around the patient's neck which is attached to an integral neck plate, thereby providing for a secure artificial airway for spontaneous breathing or direct hook-up to ventilation or anesthesia equipment.
Device Story
Dual cannula tracheostomy tube; disposable inner cannula; provides artificial airway for spontaneous breathing or mechanical ventilation/anesthesia. Used in clinical environments (critical/non-critical care, long-term care, home). Inserted into tracheotomy stoma; secured via neck strap or suture holes in flange. Features: radiopaque PVC outer cannula; pliable neck plate; tapered tip for percutaneous insertion; integrated 15mm connector. TaperGuard cuff version includes low-pressure cuff with inflation line/luer valve/pilot balloon to seal airway and minimize tracheal damage. Translucent inner cannula allows inspection/maintenance. Physician/clinician-operated; facilitates airway access; benefits patient by maintaining secure airway.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via bench testing, including ISO 5356-1:2004, ISO 5366-1:2009, ISO 5361:2012, biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, subchronic toxicity), and performance testing (cuff pressure mapping, flange tie, air leak, inflation line pull, cuff puncture, insertion/removal, percutaneous compatibility).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Medical grade PVC with citrate/DEHT plasticizers; Polymethylpentene (TPX) 15mm connector; Polypropylene obturator; Cotton tie strap. Design: Dual cannula, flexible molded flange, tapered tip. Energy: None (passive). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Validated cycle (SAL 10E-6). Standards: ISO 5366-1:2009, ISO 5356-1:2004, ISO 5361:2012.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients requiring an artificial airway for tracheal access and airway management. The TaperGuard cuff version is also indicated for use with Cook Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheotomy (PDT) procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A tracheostomy tube and tube cuff is a device intended to be placed into a surgical opening of the trachea to facilitate ventilation to the lungs. The cuff may be a separate or integral part of the tracheostomy tube and is, when inflated, intended to establish a seal between the tracheal wall and the tracheostomy tube. The cuff is used to prevent the patient's aspiration of substances, such as blood or vomit, or to provide a means for positive-pressure ventilation of the patient. This device is made of either stainless steel or plastic.

## Technological Characteristics
The Covidien Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless. Disposable Inner Cannula and the Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula have technological characteristics that differ from its predicates.
The materials used in the Covidien Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless, Disposable Inner Cannula and the Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula have been updated to a Medical Grade PVC with a Citrate and DEHT plasticizer. The subject device includes the addition of the Covidien taper-shaped cuff referred to as TaperGuard. A flexible molded flange with an integrated 15mm connector was designed into the tracheostomy tube. A one piece disposable inner cannula was designed to facilitate use of the tracheostomy tube both with and without the inner cannula in place. Finally, a product line extension has been added to include 3 intermediate sizes of cuffed and cuffless product. All other fundamental technological characteristics are identical to the predicate devices.
## Non-Clinical Data
The following types of non-clinical testing were performed to establish substantial equivalence to the predicates:
- -ISO 5356-1:2004
- ISO 5366-1:2009 -
- -ISO 5361:2012
- Biocompatibility: -
- Cytotoxicity o
- Sensitization O
- Irritation o
- Acute systemic toxicity O
- Genotoxicity O
- Subchronic toxicity implantation O
- Chemical characterization O
- Risk assessment O
- Performance testing:
- O Cuff pressure mapping
- Flange tape tie O
- Air leak O
- Inflation line pull tests O
- Cuff puncture & air seal tests O
- Insertion/removal tests O
- Percutaneous compatibility O
The results of these non-clinical tests show that the subject device can be considered substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate and no new questions of safety and efficacy have been raised.
# Clinical Data
-
Not required to show substantial equivalence.
{9}------------------------------------------------
### Substantial Equivalence
The Covidien Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless, Disposable Inner Cannula and the Shiley ™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula have the same fundamental technology and design of the predicate Shiley ™ Tracheostomy Tubes (K962173) and the Shiley™ DCT Adult Cuffed Percutaneous Tracheostomy Tubes (K963732). The materials on the tracheostomy tube have been updated to include a medical grade PVC with citrate and DEHT based plasticizer. A tapered tracheostomy tube tip is compatible with percutaneous insertion has been included. The subject device also includes the addition of the Covidien taper-shaped cuff referred to as TaperGuard.
The changes in the Covidien Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless, Disposable Inner Cannula and the Shiley™ Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula do not impact the safety or effectiveness of the finished device.
## Conclusion
Substantial equivalence of the subject device is shown through performance testing, as stated above. The subject and predicate devices have similar indications, size range, intended use, environment of use, and patient population. The subject and predicate devices differ in number of sizes available, taper shape, materials and enhanced basic design. No new questions of safety and effectiveness have been raised. From the evidence presented in the Premarket Notification, the subject device can be considered substantially equivalent.
