Description
The TRACOE cuff pressure monitor (cpm) inflates and measures
the pressure of endotracheal or tracheostomy tube high-volume
low-pressure (HVLP) cuffs, in the range 20 – 100 cmH
is operated manually and functions similar to a sphygmomanometer
(blood pressure cuff). Therefore, it does not require special skills to
operate. The device is not to be used for continuous monitoring of the
cuff pressure, and should be disconnected from the inflation line (pi-
lot balloon valve) of the HVLP cuff following inflation or measurement.
