Description

Cuff pressure management made simple

Manually maintaining stable cuff pressures in ventilated patients can be unreliable. The Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager offers a simple solution to this serious safety issue.

Help protect patients against common and costly tracheal injuries and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by cuff overinflation and underinflation.1–7  The Puritan Bennett™ cuff pressure manager provides a simple and reliable way to monitor and maintain cuff pressure.

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

It comes in a portable, compact controller that allows you to quickly inflate and deflate the cuff. Its intuitive interface and large, clear display let you see cuff pressure measurements from two 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 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.

Simplified workflow

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

Patient safety

  • Cuff leakage detection reduces leakage of accumulated secretions that pool above the cuff10
  • Filtered extension tube provides more than 99.99% filtration efficiency for bacteria and viruses if cuff leaks or breaks11
  • Shut-off valve maintains cuff pressure even if the tube accidentally disconnects from the device12

Easy operation

  • One-click inflation and deflation
  • Versatile mounting system
  • Thirteen hours of battery life when fully charged
