The Carefusion SFT2699 Adult Nasal Cannula is a high-performance oxygen delivery device designed to provide supplemental oxygen to adult patients with comfort, reliability, and ease. Built with soft, curved nasal prongs and a lightweight over-the-ear design, this cannula ensures a secure fit that remains in place during movement or extended therapy sessions. Its 7-foot clear tubing is crush-resistant, helping maintain consistent oxygen flow even when pressure is applied. The U/Connect-It connector at the distal end allows for quick, secure attachment to compatible oxygen systems.
Key Benefits
Crush-Resistant Tubing: The 7-foot tubing resists compression and kinking, which helps maintain uninterrupted oxygen delivery and minimizes alarms or therapy disruptions.
Comfortable, Curved Prongs: Soft, curved prongs conform naturally to the nasal anatomy, reducing pressure and discomfort during long-term use.
Over-the-Ear Design: Lightweight tubing loops gently over the ears, promoting a secure fit without causing ear irritation or slippage.
Latex-Free and DEHP-Free Materials: Designed with patient safety in mind, the cannula is made without latex or DEHP, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
Clear Tubing for Monitoring: Transparent construction allows for visual inspection of tubing for occlusions or condensation buildup.
Secure and Simple Connection: The U/Connect-It end ensures compatibility with a broad range of oxygen supply systems, minimizing setup time and ensuring a leak-free fit.
Compatibility and Applications
This cannula is designed for use with standard low-flow oxygen systems delivering oxygen at rates typically between 16 liters per minute. It is widely used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, hospice and home healthcare, rehabilitation centers, and emergency response situations. Its universal design makes it compatible with most oxygen concentrators, wall outlets, and portable tanks using U/Connect-It fittings.
Usage Guidelines
Preparation: Before application, wash hands thoroughly and inspect the cannula for defects, blockages, or kinks.
Connection: Insert the U/Connect-It connector into the oxygen source outlet, ensuring a snug and leak-proof fit.
Placement: Gently insert the nasal prongs into the patients nostrils with the curve facing downward. Position the tubing over the ears and adjust the sliding bolo clip under the chin for comfort and stability.
Flow Adjustment: Confirm the prescribed oxygen flow rate is properly set on the delivery device. Observe the tubing for uninterrupted airflow.
Monitoring: Regularly check for patient comfort, skin irritation around the nostrils and ears, and flow adequacy.
Post-Use Disposal: Designed for single-patient use. Dispose of after use per infection control protocols or once soiled or damaged.
