The Agento™ I.C.® Silver-Coated Endotracheal Tube intended use is for airway management by oral or nasal intubation of the trachea for anesthesia and in cases where duration of intubation is expected to be 24 hours or longer, or may be unpredictable. Agento™ I.C.® Silver-Coated Endotracheal Tube has been shown to reduce the incidence of microbiologically confirmed Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) in patients intubated for 24 hours or longer from an incidence of 7.5% in patients intubated with uncoated ET tubes to an incidence of 4.8% in patients intubated with the Bard Silver-Coated ET tubes (reduction of 36%) and to delay the time to onset of microbiologically confirmed VAP.
Device Story
Sterile, bifurcated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) endotracheal tube; features Magill curve, radiopaque line, and intermediate high-volume, low-pressure cuff. Coated with proprietary hydrophilic silver on outer surface, cuff surface, and interior airway lumen to reduce incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Used by clinicians in hospital settings for airway management. Device provides mechanical airway access; silver coating acts as antimicrobial barrier to reduce bacterial colonization. Output is physical airway maintenance; clinical benefit includes 36% reduction in microbiologically confirmed VAP incidence and delayed onset of VAP in adult patients intubated for 24+ hours.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence cited for the Agento™ I.C.® technology demonstrates a reduction in microbiologically confirmed Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) incidence from 7.5% (uncoated) to 4.8% (silver-coated), representing a 36% reduction. Evidence also indicates a delay in time to onset of VAP. Data applies to adult patients intubated for 24 hours or longer.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile, bifurcated PVC tube with PVC cuff; Magill curve; radiopaque line; intermediate high-volume, low-pressure cuff; self-sealing valve with pilot balloon. Sizes: 6.0-10.0 mm ID. Proprietary hydrophilic silver coating on outer surface, cuff, and interior lumen. Tested per ISO 5361.
Indications for Use
Indicated for airway management via oral or nasal tracheal intubation in adults requiring anesthesia or intubation expected to last 24 hours or longer. Contraindicated for pediatric use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A tracheal tube is a device inserted into a patient's trachea via the nose or mouth and used to maintain an open airway.

ET tubes (reduction of 36%) and to delay the time to onset of microbiologically confirmed VAP.
For Adults Only
Technological The Bard Silver-Coated Endotracheal Tube is a sterile bifurcated (twocharacteristics lumen) polyvinyl chloride tube with a polyvinyl chloride cuff. The tube design incorporates a Magill curve and features a radiopaque line to assist radiographic visualization. An indicator (ORAL: NASAL) is provided on standard length tubes to mark the tracheal tube length in centimeters. This indicator and all other device features listed above were tested in accordance with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 5361, Anesthetic and Respiratory Equipment -Tracheal Tubes and Connectors. The Bard Silver-coated Endotracheal Tube is available with a hooded Murphy tip, a intermediate high volume, low pressure cuff and self-sealing valve with attached pilot balloon. The Bard Silver-coated Endotracheal Tube is available in sizes of 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, and 10.0 mm ID. The Bard Silver-coated Endotracheal Tube is coated on the outer endotracheal tube surface, including the cuff surface, and on the interior surface of the airway lumen with a proprietary hydrophilic silver coating. Neither the inside of the cuff nor the inside of the inflation lumen is coated.
#### Functional, biocompatibility and predicate device comparative testing Performance data have demonstrated that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
