Intended Use
Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless, Disposable Inner Cannula is intended for use in providing tracheal access for airway management. Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula is intended for use in providing tracheal access for airway management. Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula is also intended for use with Cook® Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheotomy (PDT) procedures. The Shiley™ Disposable Inner Cannula is intended to be used with the appropriate Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff or Cuffless to provide tracheal access for airway management.
Device Description
The Shiley ™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless is a dual cannula tracheostomy tube with a disposable inner cannula. The device is used to provide an artificial ainway in order to provide access to the patient's airway for airway management. It contains an integrated 15 mm connector for use with standard ventilation and anesthesia equipment. The tracheostomy tube has a radiopaque outer cannula constructed of polyvinyl chloride. A pliable neck plate allows conformity to individual neck anatomies and contains two suture holes. The tapered tracheostomy tube tip is compatible with percutaneous insertion. The smooth, rounded tip obturator facilitates insertion. The disposable inner cannula is translucent for easy inspection and allows for airway maintenance. This tracheostomy tube can be used with or without the disposable inner cannula included in the package however, use of the inner cannula is recommended. The Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff is a dual cannula tracheostomy tube with a disposable inner cannula. The device is used to provide an artificial airway in order to provide access to the patient's airway management.

The smooth, rounded tip obturator facilitates insertion. The disposable inner cannula is translucent for easy inspection and allows for airway maintenance. The tracheostomy tube has a taper-shaped, low-pressure cuff to provide an effective air and fluid seal and minimize tracheal wall damage. The cuff inflation line has a luer valve with an integral pilot balloon. The Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard™ Cuff can be used with or without the disposable inner cannula included in the package however, use of the inner cannula is recommended. When inserted in a tracheotomy stoma, the device may be secured in place with a neck strap around the patient's neck which is attached to an integral neck plate. It also may be secured in place by using the suture holes in the flange of the tracheostomy tube, thereby providing for a secure artificial ainway for spontaneous breathing or direct connection to ventilation or anesthesia equipment.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a tracheostomy tube, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.

The device is intended to provide tracheal access for airway management, not to cure or treat a disease or condition. While it aids in managing a patient's breathing, it does not provide therapy itself.

No

The device is a tracheostomy tube designed for airway management, providing access to the patient's airway for ventilation. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of materials like polyvinyl chloride, and the performance studies focus on physical properties and testing of these components. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "providing tracheal access for airway management." This is a direct intervention on the patient's airway, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical tube inserted into the trachea to create an artificial airway. This is a medical device used for treatment and support, not for diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for airway management.

§ 868.5800 Tracheostomy tube and tube cuff.

(a)
Identification. A tracheostomy tube and tube cuff is a device intended to be placed into a surgical opening of the trachea to facilitate ventilation to the lungs. The cuff may be a separate or integral part of the tracheostomy tube and is, when inflated, intended to establish a seal between the tracheal wall and the tracheostomy tube. The cuff is used to prevent the patient's aspiration of substances, such as blood or vomit, or to provide a means for positive-pressure ventilation of the patient. This device is made of either stainless steel or plastic.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Technological Characteristics

The Covidien Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless. Disposable Inner Cannula and the Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula have technological characteristics that differ from its predicates.

The materials used in the Covidien Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube Cuffless, Disposable Inner Cannula and the Shiley™ Adult Flexible Tracheostomy Tube with TaperGuard Cuff, Disposable Inner Cannula have been updated to a Medical Grade PVC with a Citrate and DEHT plasticizer. The subject device includes the addition of the Covidien taper-shaped cuff referred to as TaperGuard. A flexible molded flange with an integrated 15mm connector was designed into the tracheostomy tube. A one piece disposable inner cannula was designed to facilitate use of the tracheostomy tube both with and without the inner cannula in place. Finally, a product line extension has been added to include 3 intermediate sizes of cuffed and cuffless product. All other fundamental technological characteristics are identical to the predicate devices.
