When using StaySafe™ nasopharyngeal airway you should keep in mind that this product is for single use only and should remain unopened until the point of use. Additionally, you must check the product prior to use. Do not use it if the inner package has been previously opened or damaged, or package is affected with damp or mold. Finally, avoid using the product if the patient is suffering from a blocked nose, nasal congestion, nasal polyps, epistaxis (or a history of) or a fractured nasal bone.

When using StaySafe™ nasopharyngeal airway make sure to select the correct size of airway to prevent any future complications during insertion. Gently lubricate the outer airway tube with a suitable water based lubricant, ensuring that the distal tip remains patent. Carefully insert airway into a patient’s nasal cavity and ensure that the airway is operating correctly. In the event that oxygen is required, connect the oxygen tube onto the oxygen elbow before connecting the elbow into the airway. To ensure a secure connection, use a push and twist action on all fittings. If the respiratory indicator is required, connect the hydrophobic filter to a suitable male sampling line before connecting to an appropriate monitor. When observing the respiratory rate, oxygen should only be administered at a flow rate of less than 8 LPM. Finally, always ensure that any blocked or occluded devices are removed immediately. Note, that these directions are general guidelines intended for use by qualified medical personnel.

StaySafe™ nasopharyngeal airways are available in sizes from 2.5mm to 9.5mm.
