Ambu TubeChek Intubation Detectors
Ensure the safety and effectiveness of your intubation procedures with the Ambu TubeChek esophageal intubation detector. This innovative disposable device is designed to verify proper endotracheal tube placement by leveraging the anatomical differences between the trachea and the esophagus.
The Ambu TubeChek functions by attaching to the endotracheal tube after placement and prior to any ventilation attempts. By compressing the plunger fully before attachment, healthcare providers can effectively assess tube positioning. If the tube is incorrectly placed in the esophagus, the soft walls will collapse, creating negative pressure that prevents the plunger from being drawn out. In contrast, proper placement in the trachea allows the rigid structure to keep the device patent, enabling easy withdrawal of the plunger.
Additionally, the Ambu TubeChek-B variant features a bulb design that similarly ensures accurate verification of tube placement without reliance on chemical reactions or lengthy stabilization times. Simply compress the bulb, attach the unit, and release to check for proper inflation. This method eliminates the need for cumbersome CO2 readings, allowing for immediate results that are critical in emergency scenarios.
The TubeChek is not suitable for use in children aged 5 years or those weighing less than 20 kg.
