Description of the device
Provox BasePlate Adaptor ("adaptor") is an accessory product for rehabilitation
after total laryngectomy. It allows attaching medical devices, (HME), with
ISO 15mm standard connector to a tracheostoma by fitting it into a Provox
Adhesive base plate, Provox LaryButton or Provox LaryTube. A typical example
would be to attach an HME with built-in oxygen adapter (TrachPhone). For
single patient use.
WARNINGS
• Unconscious patients must be constantly monitored. Attached devices
may inadvertently slide off the adaptor, or the base plate may detach from
the tracheostoma.
• Make sure the adaptor is free from oil or any other lubricant before and
during use. Lubrication may lead to detachment of devices from the adaptor,
or of the adaptor from the base plate.

• Read and follow the instructions of the medical device to be used with
the adaptor.
• Never use force while attaching or detaching devices or the adaptor itself.
• Do NOT sterilize! The device is for single patient use only.
