WARNING: TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE CUFF MUST BE COMPLETELY DEFLATED BEFORE
PLACING THE PMV. PATIENT WILL BE UNABLE TO BREATHE IF CUFF IS NOT
COMPLETELY DEFLATED . PMV CANNOT BE USED WITH FOAM FILLED CUFFED
TRACHEOSTOMY TUBES. THE PMV CAN BE USED WITH A CUFFED TRACHEOSTOMY
TUBE IF THE CUFF IS COMPLETELY DEFLATED AND THE PATIENT
HAS SUFFICIENT AIRFLOW AROUND THE TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE AND BULK OF
THE DEFLATED CUFF.
5. Tracheostomy Tube Size: Per physician direction, changing to a smaller tracheostomy
tube or cuffless tube may be needed to provide sufficient exhaled airflow to allow use of
the PMV.
6. Use of Warning Labels: Attach warning labels provided with PMV to the pilot balloon of
the patient's cuffed tracheostomy tube to facilitate staff awareness of proper PMV use.
7. PMV Secure-It™ Attachment: (Applies to PMV 2000 (Clear) and PMV 2001 (Purple)
only). If using the PMV 2000 (Clear) or PMV 2001 (Purple) and are not using them in-
line with the ventilator, attach the PMV Secure-It™ to the PMV prior to placing the PMV
on the tracheostomy tube. Use of the PMV Secure-It™ which attaches to the
tracheostomy tube will help to prevent the loss of the PMV if it should inadvertently
come off the tracheostomy tube (e.g., during cough). Use of the PMV Secure-It™ is
optional.
a. The PMV Secure-It™ can be attached by threading the long tapered end of the PMV
Secure-It™ through the small hole provided in the side of the PMV 2000 (Clear) and
PMV 2001 (Purple) (Fig.1) and pulling it through until it rests between the two notches
(Fig. 2).
b. Place the other end of the PMV Secure-It™ around the patient's tracheostomy tube
tie near to the 15mm hub of the tracheostomy tube (Fig.3) and fasten it like a button in
a button hole (Fig. 4).
WARNING: DO NOT ATTACH THE PMV SECURE-IT™ WHEN USING THE PMV 2000
(CLEAR) OR PMV 2001 (PURPLE) IN-LINE WITH THE VENTILATOR AS THIS MAY
INTERFERE WITH DISCONNECT ALARM.
c. After removing the PMV from the tracheostomy tube hub as described later in step
#9, the PMV Secure-It™ (with PMV 2000 (Clear) or PMV 2001 (Purple) only) can be
removed by unbuttoning the fastener that is attached to the tracheostomy tie prior to
removal of the PMV Secure-It™ from the PMV. PMV Secure-It™ can then be removed
from the PMV by gently pulling it out of the small hole in the side of the PMV.
