COMBITUBE
Esophageal/Tracheal
Double Lumen Airway

COMBITUBE
Esophageal/Tracheal Double-Lumen Airway
Rapid intubation of difficult airways
Insert the COMBITUBE airway blindly
into the mouth. Advance gently until
the teeth or alveolar ridges are aligned
between the two black rings.
IInflate line 1 through the blue pilot
balloon leading to the large pharyngeal
cuff with 100ml of air for the 41 French
or 85ml of air for the 37 French using
the large syringe provided. Inflate
line 2 through the white pilot balloon
leading to the smaller distal cuff with
approximately 15ml of air for the 41
French or 12ml of air for the 37 French
using the small syringe provided.
Since an esophageal placement of
the COMBITUBE airway is most likely,
begin ventilation by attaching the
ventilation device to the longer blue
connecting tube marked No. 1.
If auscultation of breath sounds
is positive, indicating esophageal
placement, continue ventilation.
If esophageal placement is confirmed,
the second clear connecting tube marked
No. 2 con be used for gastric suction
with the suction catheter provided.
If auscultation of breath sounds is
negative, a tracheal placement has
been accomplished. The ventilation
device should then be connected to
the shorter clear connecting tube
marked No. 2. The COMBITUBE
airway is then functioning as a normal
tracheal tube.

When a difficult airway must be established, time and
accuracy are critical. Now you can be assured of rapid
intubation and effective ventilation with the COMBITUBE
airway from KENDALL. Unlike traditional endotracheal
tubes, the COMBITUBE airway is designed to establish
a nonsurgical patient airway when placed into either the
trachea or the esophagus.

Unique double-lumen design allows for rapid
establishment of an effective airway through either
esophageal or tracheal placement.
Blind placement eliminates the need for laryngoscope.
Pharyngeal balloon inflates to hold device firmly in place
and helps prevent the escape of gas through the nose or
mouth.
Full-Iength lumen allows for suctioning of gastric contents
with no interruption of patient ventilation should the
COMBITUBE airway be placed in the esophagus.
Esophageal cuff inflates to seal the esophagus so that
gas does not enter the stomach and gastric contents are
not aspirated.
Appropriate for pre-hospital, surgical and emergency use.
