Medtronic / Covidien Products / Mechanical Ventilation & Humidification Treatment / Puritan Bennett™ Cuff Pressure Manager

Overview

Cuff pressure management made simple

This cuff pressure manager helps protect your patients against common and costly tracheal injuries and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by cuff overinflation and underinflation1–7.

Manually sustaining stable endotracheal tubes (ETT) and tracheostomy tubes (TT) cuff pressures in mechanical ventilated patients can be unreliable. The Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager offers a simple solution to this serious safety issue. Designed for ease of use and ready to support your range of needs, the Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager reduces the manual work of measuring and adjusting cuff pressure with a manometer and syringe.4,6,8

The cuff pressure manager comes in a portable, compact controller that allows you to quickly inflate and deflate the cuff of the intubation device. Its intuitive interface and large, clear display lets you see cuff pressure measurements from 2 meters away.9 Built-in safety features, such as cuff leakage detection and a filtered extension tube, also safeguard patients from ventilator-associated complications.10

Features

Reducing the risk of endotracheal tubes (ETT) and tracheostomy tubes (TT) cuff overinflation and underinflation is just one way the Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager can help enhance patient care. Our cuff pressure management solution comes with many other features designed to take the pressure off you.10

Simplified
workflow

  • Provides uninterrupted monitoring and management
  • Eliminates need for periodic manual checks4
  • Improves adherence to established cuff pressure protocols2

Patient
safety

  • Cuff leakage detection reduces leakage of accumulated secretions that pool above the cuff10
  • Filtered extension tube provides 99.99% filtration efficiency for bacteria and viruses if cuff leaks or breaks13,14
  • Shut-off valve maintains cuff pressure even if the tube accidentally disconnects from the device12

Easy
operation

  • One-click inflation and deflation9
  • Versatile mounting system9
  • 13 hours of battery life when fully charged*
