AG Cuffill
Description & Identification for Use
The AG Cuffill measures and regulates the cuff
pressure of Endotracheal tubes, Tracheostomy
tubes and supraglottic airways.
The AG Cuffill should be used only under medical
supervision in hospitals, pre-hospital (EMS),
extended care facilities and outpatient clinics,
where a patient may be intubated.
The AG Cuffill is intended for an air-filled
cuff and should not be used with liquids, which
will cause damage.
The AG Cuffill should not be used for
continuous monitoring. It should be disconnected
each time after use.
Handling Instructions:
The AG Cuffill is intended for air-filled cuffs and
should not be used with liquids. The AG Cuffill
should be kept in a dry environment during
transport and storage.
Cleaning Instructions:
Wipe the surface thoroughly with
alcohol-based disinfectant. While cleaning,
prevent entry of any fluid into the AG Cuffill luer
(inflation line).
Before Use:
Make sure that the luer is clear of any
obstructions and is open to ambient pressure.
Specifications:
Size: Length: 20 cm; Diameter: (ID) 15 mm
Weight: 18 gr.
Power: CR1632 3VDC/130 mAh battery

Instructions for Use
Measuring Cuff Pressure:
(See the following figure)
Turn the AG Cuffill ON by pressing the power button
1.
on the right side of the display. The display will blink
twice showing the number of readings left and then
will display "00" (see section 4 - Display).
2.
Push the plunger to the distal end of the syringe (all
the way in).
3.
Connect the AG Cuffill to the cuff inflation line and
read the pressure value.
4.
If required, cuff pressure may be reduced by pulling
back the plunger until required pressure is achieved.
5. Disconnect the AG Cuffill from the cuff inflation line.
an

Instructions for Use (cont.)
Adjusting Cuff Pressure:
(See the following figure)
1. Turn the AG Cuffill ON by pressing the power button
on the right side of the display. The display will blink
twice showing the number of readings left and then
will display "00" (see section 4 - Display).
2.
Position the plunger about half way out.
Connect the AG Cuffill to the cuff inflation line.
3.
4. Adjust the plunger until the required pressure is
achieved. If the required pressure is not achieved,
disconnect the AG Cuffill, pull the plunger 1-2 cc
backward and repeat this step.
5. Disconnect the AG Cuffill from the cuff inflation line.
NOTE: The device automatically turns OFF
60 seconds after activation.
the Cuff NOTE: When disconnecting,
O. pressure may be reduced by 1-2 cmH

Display
Display reads 1H:
Blinks twice immediately after turn on in case
number of readings left is greater than 99.
Display reads 00 :
Normal. Ready for Use.
Display reads UP:
Under Pressure, Vacuum.
Display reads OP:
Over Pressure, above 99 cmH
Diagnostics:
Display reads E1 to E4:
System is out of operational range. Device
unusable.
Display reads 01 or above:
Calibration Required. Perform Calibration.
Calibration:
Calibration can only be carried out when the
Cuffill is disconnected from the airway.
• Make sure that the AG Cuffill connector (Luer) is
clear of any obstructions.
• Press and hold the Power Button for more than 5
seconds.
