Smiths Medical 100/101/040 - Tube Endo Trach Uncuff Aircare 4.0mm 10/BX
The Smiths Medical 100/101/040 Aircare Endotracheal Tube is designed to provide secure and efficient airway management in clinical and emergency care environments. Manufactured with high-quality medical-grade materials, this uncuffed endotracheal tube features a Magill curve and a Murphy eye to facilitate smooth insertion and reliable ventilation. The 4.0 mm internal diameter makes it suitable for pediatric airway management where precision and gentle placement are essential.
This sterile, single-use endotracheal tube supports consistent airflow while minimizing the risk of obstruction. The Magill-style curvature allows clinicians to achieve proper anatomical alignment during insertion, improving placement accuracy and reducing trauma during intubation procedures. The integrated Murphy eye enhances patient safety by providing an alternative ventilation pathway should the primary distal opening become obstructed.

Typical applications include operating rooms, emergency departments, intensive care units, pediatric care settings, and pre-hospital emergency response environments where dependable airway access is required.
Usage Guidelines
Healthcare professionals should confirm appropriate tube size based on patient anatomy and clinical requirements before intubation. Proper sterile handling should be maintained throughout the procedure to reduce contamination risks. During insertion, clinicians should monitor tube placement using established verification techniques such as auscultation and capnography to ensure correct airway positioning.
The tube is designed for single-use and should be disposed of according to medical waste protocols following the procedure.

Healthcare facilities including hospitals, surgical centers, ambulatory care clinics, and emergency response teams rely on this product for consistent airway access during life-support procedures.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Clinicians should inspect the sterile packaging prior to opening to confirm product integrity. Prior to insertion, the tube should be visually examined for any manufacturing defects or damage. Lubrication with a compatible sterile lubricant may assist with smoother insertion.
After use, the device should be disposed of in accordance with institutional infection control guidelines and biomedical waste management regulations.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This medical device is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals experienced in airway management. Proper clinical judgment should always guide product selection and use. Users should follow established hospital protocols and manufacturer guidelines when performing intubation procedures.
As with all airway management devices, patient monitoring during and after placement is critical to ensure proper ventilation and oxygenation.
