INTRODUCTION The CORTRAK* 2 Enteral Access System (EAS) uses an electromagnetic sensing device to track the path of Avanos CORTRAK* 2 feeding tubes during a placement procedure. Refer to Figure 1. The CORTRAK* 2 consists of three major parts:
Figure 1. Proper Placement in the Digestive System • The CORTRAK* 2 Monitor contains an integrated Visual Display Terminal (VDT), a touch screen style user interface and an embedded computing system. An internal, rechargeable battery supplies the power. An External Power Supply/ Battery Charger will also provide power to the system while recharging the internal battery. • The CORTRAK* 2 Electromagnetic Transmitting Stylet with a small coil (Transmitter) located at the tip. This Transmitting Stylet is an integral part of the Avanos CORTRAK* 2 feeding tube inserted into a patient’s stomach or small bowel. A short interconnecting cable attaches the Transmitting Stylet to the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor. When placement is complete, the Transmitting Stylet is removed, leaving just the feeding tube. Refer to the Instructions for Use Insert packaged with the CORTRAK* 2 Feeding Tubes to either retain or dispose of Transmitting Stylet. The CORTRAK* 2 Electromagnetic Transmitting Stylet is part of the approved CORTRAK* 2 feeding tube assembly available from Avanos Medical. • The CORTRAK* 2 Receiver Unit (RU) is placed at the Xiphoid Process to track the position of the Transmitting Stylet during a placement. The RU is attached by a cable to the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor which then provides a graphical display of the Transmitting Stylet tip location and track relative to the RU. Refer to Figure 1 for a typical sample Placement Screen display. WARNING: The CORTRAK* 2 Monitor displays a representation of the Transmitting Stylet path relative to the Receiver Unit. This representation is NOT an image of the actual feeding tube position. Although this system has been designed and manufactured to exacting specifications, it is not intended to replace trained clinicians in the supervision of feeding tube placements. Clinical judgment should always take precedence. 6
INDICATIONS FOR USE The Avanos* CORTRAK* 2 Enteral Access System (EAS) utilizes tube tracking technology to assist, in conjunction with institution protocols, qualified clinicians in guiding placement of Avanos Medical CORTRAK* 2 feeding tubes of 8FR or greater into the stomach or small bowel of patients requiring enteral feeding.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE DO NOT use the CORTRAK* 2 Enteral Access System for patients with implanted medical devices that may be affected by electromagnetic fields.
SCOPE The operator should carefully read this guide to fully understand the functionality of the CORTRAK* 2 and to ensure safe and proper operation. The CORTRAK* 2 can be configured for one of two principal operating modes, Accounts Mode and Anonymous Mode. A special Administrative Mode provides access to additional system features not required by the operator during placements.
Accounts Mode • Each qualified clinician is assigned an “Account” consisting of a unique login name and password which must be used to perform or review placements. • As a placement is performed, the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor displays the current Transmitting Stylet tip position and track relative to the CORTRAK* 2 Receiver Unit. The entire placement is recorded and may be replayed at a later time for review or critique. • An optional printer can be connected to the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor to print a graphical placement summary for the patient’s records. • The CORTRAK* 2 Monitor can save files to an external USB Flash Drive. These files may subsequently be reviewed on a PC for reference and training purposes. Refer to the Placement Basics section of this guide for further information on the Accounts Mode of operation.
Anonymous Mode • No operator login is required. • As a placement is performed, the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor displays the current Transmitting Stylet tip position and track relative to the CORTRAK* 2 Receiver Unit. The entire placement is temporarily held in memory (without patient information) for immediate review or critique but is not saved once exiting the placement session. • An optional printer can be connected to the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor to print a graphical placement summary (without patient information) for the patient’s records before exiting the placement screen. • Since no files are recorded, they may not be reviewed at a later date nor saved to an external USB Flash Drive. Refer to the Placement Basics section of this guide for further information on the Anonymous Mode of operation.
7
Administrative Mode This privileged mode is accessed by a special operator, called the Administrator, to perform a number of management tasks which include choosing the principal operational mode, setting the time and date, aligning the touch screen, issuing accounts to qualified clinicians trained to use the CORTRAK* 2, and managing placement files resident in the memory of the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor. The Administrator should only grant new operator accounts to qualified clinicians who receive the appropriate prerequisite training and hands-on experience prior to clinical use of the CORTRAK* 2. Refer to the Administrative Mode section of this guide for further details on this mode.
WARNINGS • Qualified clinicians (clinicians) must first be credentialed by their institution to place enteral feeding tubes. A qualified clinician, as defined by institution protocol or determined by clinical credentialing, must read and follow the CORTRAK* 2 Enteral Access System (EAS) Operator’s Manual and the Instructions for Use included with the CORTRAK* 2 feeding tube prior to tube insertion. • Only qualified clinicians trained according to Avanos CORTRAK* 2 training should use the CORTRAK* 2 as an aid in the placement of compatible Avanos CORTRAK* 2 Feeding Tubes. Clinical personnel must receive appropriate training combined with hands-on experience prior to clinical use of the CORTRAK* 2. • Institution protocols must always supersede the use of the CORTRAK* 2. Clinical judgment must always take precedence. • The CORTRAK* 2 Monitor displays a representation of the Transmitting Stylet tip path relative to the CORTRAK* 2 Receiver Unit. This representation is NOT an image of the actual feeding tube position. • The CORTRAK* 2 does not replace qualified clinicians in the supervision of feeding tube placements and does not replace the need for vigilant clinical assessment during the feeding tube insertion procedure. • The CORTRAK* 2 does not prevent patient injury due to misplacement of a feeding tube into the trachea or lungs. • Comply with Institution protocol to determine the final location of a feeding tube tip. Neither CORTRAK* 2 trace nor feeding tube centimeter markings should be used as a sole method of confirmation. Clinical observation and institution protocols must be part of successful feeding tube placement. • Misplacement of any feeding tube into the trachea or lungs may result in serious patient injury (e.g. perforation, pneumothorax, aspiration pneumonia) or death. • Particular care should be taken if any type of endotracheal device is in place, as it may tend to guide feeding tube into trachea. • Withdraw the tube immediately if the patient demonstrates any signs of respiratory irritation or distress during tube placement procedure, including coughing or shortness of breath, as this may indicate passage of tube into trachea. • Withdraw the tube immediately if any resistance is encountered during the placement, as this may indicate passage of the tube into the trachea. • If lung placement is suspected, re-assess the patient and notify physician per institution protocol. • Tube position must be confirmed per institution protocol prior to flushing with water. • Clinicians must continuously observe and assess both the patients and the tracings on the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor while advancing the tube to ensure proper insertion of the tube down the nasoenteric pathway of the patient. 8
WARNINGS (Continued) • DO NOT use the CORTRAK* 2 with catheters other than Avanos CORTRAK* 2 feeding tubes that are compatible with this system. Potential complications with the CORTRAK* 2 are those normally associated with the risks of feeding tube placements (for example, lung intubations and pneumothorax). • Special care should be taken with the placement and securement of the CORTRAK* 2 Receiver Unit on burn patients and patients with other sensitive skin conditions. Clinical judgment should be used when treating these patients. • Failure to follow instructions when setting up CORTRAK* 2 equipment including the Receiver Unit can lead to injuries and/or death. The Transmitting Stylet tip position and track displayed on the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor is affected by many variables including Receiver Unit (RU) positioning on the patient, patient size and build, anatomical variances, and movement of the Receiver Unit relative to the patient. • DO NOT move the CORTRAK* 2 Receiver Unit from the patient once it is correctly placed and secured at the Xiphoid Process. Movement of the RU relative to the patient will alter the alignment and the relationship of the track displayed on the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor. Use extreme caution in patients who are combative or who move excessively during placement as the displayed track is impacted by movement between the receiver unit and the patient. The RU should be secured on the patient. • DO NOT use the CORTRAK* 2 as an aid during a tube placement if NO SIGNAL or an unexpected or unusual tracing is visible on the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor. • DO NOT begin patient feeding until the desired tube location is confirmed per institution protocol. Additional confirmatory techniques may be required, particularly for the following patient populations: • Patients with any variation in normal gastrointestinal anatomy • Patients with any known history of gastrointestinal surgery • Patients with an altered state of consciousness • Patients who are intubated • Patients who cannot provide visual or physiological feedback to the clinician during tube placement, e.g. patient is unconscious or missing the gag reflex • Patients who are combative or move excessively during placement • DO NOT use the CORTRAK* 2 near equipment which radiates radiofrequency energy in the frequency band of 20-300 kHz. The CORTRAK* 2 tracing may be influenced by electromagnetic interference from other electrical equipment (such as electro-surgical/cauterizing equipment, RFID devices, two-way radios, Left Ventricular Assist Devices), and other CORTRAK* 2 equipment operating in the immediate proximity. Refer to EMC Considerations Section of this manual for additional guidance. Portable RF communications equipment (including RFID readers and peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 50 cm (20 inches) to any part of the CORTRAK* 2. • DO NOT clean the CORTRAK* 2 System while connected to External Power Supply. Failure to comply may result in electrical shock. • DO NOT disassemble the enclosures of the CORTRAK* 2 Monitor to reduce the risk of electric shock. The service panel may be removed as instructed in the service guide section of this manual for routine battery replacement. Refer all other servicing to qualified Avanos Medical service personnel.
