Using the tube painting kit
Paul has sensors that can detect the insertion of tubes in the airway. In order for the tube to be properly detected, it is recommended to paint the end with the tube painting kit provided.
Use a new, clean tube with an interior diameter (ID) not greater than #2.5.
Unscrew the small paintbrush out of the paint pot and remove any excess paint using the lip of the pot.
Insert the paintbrush inside the tube as far as is possible.
Slowly remove the paintbrush while twisting it.
The interior of the tube should be covered with a thin layer of paint to ensure proper ventilation. Remove any excess paint from the exterior of the tube using a dry cloth.
CAUTIONS
Make sure to allow the paint to dry for 48 hours to ensure that there are no paint deposits in Paul’s airway.
As long as the paint is not dry, it can be washed off smooth surfaces with water.
The usual precautions when handling chemicals should be complied with. Make sure you avoid contact with eyes and mucus membranes and consult a doctor if these areas come in contact with the paint.
