GMDN related code(s)
60793
Surgical irrigation/aspiration handpiece, single-use (A hand-held device designed to be connected to a separate cannula/tip for both irrigation and aspiration of a surgical site by regulating and directing a stream of pressurized fluid (e.g., sterile water) to the site and facilitating suction of debris from the site. It is activated by the operator, typically through a push-type control(s); it may include connection tubing, however other associated devices (e.g., cannula/tip, clamps, filters, spikes) are not included (i.e., it is neither a tubing set nor an irrigation/aspiration cannula). It is typically intended for an ear/nose/throat (ENT) procedure or neurosurgical use; it is not an ophthalmic device. This is a single-use device.)
10749
Airway suction catheter (A flexible tube designed to be inserted through the mouth, artificial airway, tracheostomy tube, and/or nostrils, for periodic aspiration of liquids and/or semi-solids from a patient's airway (e.g., pharynx, trachea, bronchi, nasal cavity) as part of a suction system; it is not intended to inflate the lungs. It is typically made of polymer with a smooth and rounded distal-tip, often including end and side holes and a finger-controlled valve to regulate suction. This is a single-use device.)
