The product does not contain a punched hole above the cuff access port (a lumen that enables suctioning of secretions proximal to the inflated cuff) as intended by the devices design. This eliminates the user's ability to suction secretions through this suction port, necessitating that the user revert to standard of care methods for suctioning secretions from around the cuffed trach tube shaft.
