subglottic secretion removal
a vap reduction strategy
Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a nosocomial
pneumonia that develops more than 48-72 hours after
endotracheal intubation.1 It is the most common infection
acquired by adults and children in intensive care units
(ICUs) and is a cause of significant patient morbidity and
mortality, increased utilization of healthcare resources and
excess cost.2 During mechanical ventilation, secretions
from the upper respiratory tract accumulate above the
endotracheal tube cuff. Studies have shown that these
secretions can seep past the cuff into the lower tract.3
Drainage of the subglottic secretions has been proven as an
effective strategy in preventing early-onset VAP.4
the clinical challenge.
The endotracheal tube chosen for initial intubation doesn’t
always allow for easy access to this valuable practice —
until now. That is why we created the new Teleflex ISIS
HVT with a separate suction line. The versatile design
eliminates the need to be selective during initial intubation,
increasing the number of patients who can be viable
candidates for post-operative subglottic suctioning, a
clinically proven strategy for VAP reduction.5

The unique convertible nature of the Teleflex ISIS HVT frees clinicians from the uncertainty of choosing which tube is
best for the patient at the time of intubation. ISIS features an integrated suction port and separate suction line, allowing
for subglottic secretion removal, on-demand. When needed, the suction line attaches to the ISIS HVT via a secure
locking connection. Both connection ports can be sealed upon disconnection, reducing the risk of cross-contamination
when not in use. This versatile design allows you to make the right choice, every time.
Also available with a preloaded stylet:
Ideal for crash carts and emergency rooms
The ISIS Advantage
• Convertible design
• Simplifies tube selection at initial intubation
• Consolidates inventory
• Use (and pay for) the suction line only when you need it
