5. After confirming that the Plug Insert is securely in place and
fully inserted, the inserter tool should be carefully removed.
6. Hold the inserter tool and the neck strap together firmly in
one hand. Carefully lift the neck strap off the safety peg on the
inserter tool. Hold the neck strap against the neck while slowly
and gently withdrawing the inserter tool with a twisting
motion (diagram 7).
Warning: Caution should be exercised when removing the
inserter tool to avoid accidental displacement of the Plug Insert
or voice prosthesis which could result in aspiration (inhalation) of
the device or voice prosthesis. Should aspiration occur, attempt
to cough the device and/or voice prosthesis out of the windpipe.
Seek medical attention immediately if unsuccessful.
7. Apply a strip of hypo-allergenic, medical adhesive tape over
the neck strap to prevent strap movement as shown in
diagram 8.
Warning: Do not detach or in any way modify the neck strap
on the Plug Insert. The neck strap should not, under any
circumstances, be cut or removed from the Plug Insert. The
neck strap is intended to help prevent accidental aspiration
(inhalation) of the device should the device become dislodged.
Removal of the Plug Insert
Removal of the Plug Insert should only be done while using a
close-up mirror and a bright light focused directly into the stoma
so that the open end of the prosthesis is clearly visible. The users
hands should always be washed with soap and water prior to
cleaning the Plug Insert.
1. Stabilize the voice prosthesis by holding it carefully and firmly
with tweezers to avoid displacement (diagram 9).
2. Grasp the neck strap of the Plug Insert and gently pull it out
from the voice prosthesis.
