Indications for Use
The Sterile Disposable Endotracheal Tube device is intended for oral or nasal intubation and for airway management. The Accu-Cuff device is intended to inflate cuffs and to monitor intra-cuff pressures of endotracheal, supraglottic airways, or tracheostomy tubes.
Device Story
Disposable sterile endotracheal tube (ETT) used for oral/nasal intubation and airway management; connects to oxygen delivery equipment via standard connector. Features include Murphy's eye, radio-opaque line, and optional reinforced metal for kink resistance. Cuffed variants include inflatable cuff, lumen, and pilot balloon. Accu-Cuff™ component attaches to cuff inflation line via luer fitting to monitor intra-cuff pressure; uses diaphragm/bellows mechanism where pressure changes move a black line against color-coded zones (yellow/low, green/safe, red/high) to guide manual inflation/deflation. Used in hospitals, EMS, and clinics under medical supervision. Provides airway patency and gas seal; Accu-Cuff helps prevent over-pressurization or under-inflation of cuffs, reducing risk of gas leakage or mucosal damage.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, 3, 5, 6, 10), dimensional analysis, leakage, kinking, radiopacity (ISO 5361, ASTM F640), seal strength (ASTM F88), and shelf-life/sterilization validation. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polycarbonate, silicone rubber, ABS. Sensing principle: Diaphragm/bellows-based mechanical pressure monitoring. Connectivity: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO). Standards: ISO 10993, ISO 5361, ASTM F88, ASTM F640.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring oral or nasal intubation and airway management. Accu-Cuff indicated for monitoring intra-cuff pressures of endotracheal, supraglottic, or tracheostomy tubes in pediatric to adult populations.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall. No reference devices were used in this submission.
#### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The tracheal tube is disposable and supplied as sterile. It is available in a number of sizes/variants. The tracheal tube is primarily made of polyvinyl chloride. The device is used for airway management by connecting to oxygen delivery equipment via a connector. Reinforced ETTs may be used to reduce the potential for kinking whenever an unusual positioning of the head or neck is required following intubation. All variants have a radio-opaque line embedded into the tube which enables identification the device when the patient is X-rayed. All variants have a hole at the tip called a Murphy's eye and a standard connector.
Cuffed variants are composed of an inflatable cuff, a lumen and pilot balloon with a one-way valve or pressure indicator. The cuff is specified with high volume and standard volume which is intended to be inflated in the trachea in order to seal the device to prevent loss of gas bypassing the tube and the inhalation of vomit.
The patient end, the cuff and the tubular body of these tracheal tubes have short-term contact (< 30 days) with mucous membrane of upper airway.
Separately, Accu-cuff™ is used for pre-use check and monitoring the cuff pressure in intubation, treatment and extubation process. The user can Judge the change of intra-cuff pressure by observing the change of black line's location. When the black line point to the zone between the Minimum level of green zone and white line, it means the intra-cuff is too low and need to inflate to cuff. When the black line point to the zone between the Maximum level of green zone and red line, it means the intra-cuff is over-pressurizing and need to deflate.

#### V. INDICATION FOR USE
The Sterile Disposable Endotracheal Tube device is intended for oral or nasal intubation and for airway management.

| Indication<br>method | The Bottom cover have Color<br>mark, when the black line move<br>to the white line ,which means<br>the intra -cuff pressure is<br>decreased, move to the red line<br>show the intra-cuff pressure is<br>increased. When the black line<br>site in the Green zone, the intra-<br>cuff pressure is safe. | The Outer Cylinder have Color<br>mark, the yellow zone, green<br>zone and red zone. When the<br>black line in the yellow zone<br>means the pressure is too low,<br>the red zone indicate the intra<br>cuff pressure is too large, that<br>need to deflate. The black line<br>in the green zone which means<br>the intra cuff pressure is safe. | The mechanism is identical,<br>only differ in color of<br>indication line. |
| Method of<br>inflating cuff | Use an independent syringe (normal practice). | Manual | Identical |
