Zusammenfassung: | An add-on device (100) for an Endo-Tracheal Tube (ETT), the add-on device including a lengthy body (30) having a major arc-shaped cross section sized and shaped to tightly fit over an ETT (10), at least one longitudinal cavity (41) passing along the lengthy body, comprising a distal suction cavity ending with a suction inlet (51) at a distal end of the lengthy body; and a distal suction outlet channel (63) extending from a proximal end of the lengthy body, the channel is a continuous extension of the distal suction cavity and configured to provide suction to the distal suction cavity. The add-on device senses moisture at a distal end of the add-on device, and in case of detection of excessive wetness, provides suction to the distal end of the device through the cavity passing along the device, the suction is provided via the suction outlet channel extending from the proximal end of the device. |
