Intended Use
The Shiley™ Neonatal, Pediatric & Pediatric Long Tracheostomy Tubes with TaperGuard Cuff are intended for use in providing tracheal access for airway management.
Device Story
Single-use, single-cannula tracheostomy tube; provides artificial airway for airway management. Device features TaperGuard cuff; taper-shaped cuff design; medical-grade PVC construction with citrate-based non-phthalate plasticizer. Used in clinical settings for tracheotomized patients. Healthcare providers insert tube to maintain airway patency; cuff inflation provides tracheal seal. Benefits include airway access and management for neonatal and pediatric populations.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence established via bench testing, including cuff performance (air/fluid seal, pressure mapping, removal force) and biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute/subchronic systemic toxicity, implantation, chemical characterization).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Medical-grade PVC with citrate-based non-phthalate plasticizer (cannula, flange, cuff, inflation system), ABS (ISO 15mm connector), polypropylene (obturator), cotton (neck strap). Design: Single-cannula, single-use, taper-shaped cuff. Sterilization: EtO. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for neonatal and pediatric patients requiring tracheal access for airway management.
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 Comparison
The subject device only differs from the predicate Shiley™ Neonatal, Pediatric Long Tracheostomy Tubes Cuffless (K122531) with the addition of the cuff. They have identical indications, basic design and sizes. The subject device has a similar cuff to the predicate Shiley Cuffed Tubes (K955680) and BIVONA Tubes (K083641). The difference between the cuff on the subject and predicate tubes is the overall shape, which is taper-shaped in the subject versus barrel shaped in the predicates.

### Substantial Equivalence - Non-Clinical Evidence
Product performance testing, including cuff air seal, cuff fluid seal, removal force, and cuff pressure mapping, were performed with the conclusion that the subject devices can be expected to perform at least as well as the predicate and can be considered substantially equivalent. Additionally, biocompatibility testing was performed per ISO 10993-1:2009 including the following: cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, subchronic toxicity implantation, chemical characterization, and risk assessment. The device met all biocompatibility requirements for its intended use.
## Substantial Equivalence - Clinical Evidence
N/A - Clinical evidence was not necessary to show substantial equivalence.
#### Substantial Equivalence - Conclusions
No new questions of safety and effectiveness have been raised. From the evidence presented in the Premarket Notification, the subject devices can be considered substantially equivalent.
