List and Description Passy Muir Speaking Valves & Tracheostomy Ventilators
Passy Muir Tracheostomy/Ventilator Swallowing and Speaking Valves (PMVs) have a patented closed position "No Leak" design that restores a closed respiratory system. They are the only product that the FDA approves for all of the following uses:
- Communication
- Facilitates Secretion Management
- Improves Swallowing
- Expedites Weaning and Decannulation
- May Reduce Aspiration
- Restores Positive Airway Pressure
- Ventilator Application
- Facilitates Infection Control
- Improves Olfaction
- Interchangeability Between Tracheostomy and Ventilator Use
- Improves Oxygenation
Passy Muir is a true, industry innovator. The "No Leak" design re-establishes a closed respiratory system and restores subglottic pressure, which improves swallowing and may reduce aspiration. Theses are the only products with built-in speaking valves that can be used interchangeably on or off the ventilator for pediatrics and adults. The Trach Valves offer ventilator dependent patients the opportunity to speak uninterrupted without having to wait for the ventilator to cycle, and without being limited to a few words at a time due to loss of air through the tracheostomy tube as experienced by patients using "leak speech".
How to Select the Correct Trach Ventilator Valve
- Home Patients or Ambulatory Patients: Use either the PMV 2000 (Clear colored valve) or the PMV 2001 (Purple colored valve) . The clearness of the PMV 2000 is desirable for patients who would like their valve to be less noticeable and to maintain a lower profile. The PMV 2000 and PMV 2001 can also be used in conjunction with the PMA 2000 Oxygen Adapter to deliver low-flow oxygen to the patient.
- Hospital Patients: Use the PMV 2001 (Purple colored valve) for patients who are in a hospital setting.
- Disposable Ventilator Tubing: PMV 007 (Aqua colored valve) is specifically designed to fit inline with disposable ventilator tubing.
- Metal Tracheostomy Tubes: Metal trach tubes with a 15mm inner cannula can be used with the PMV 2000 (Clear colored valve) .

Oxygen Adapter Accessory
PMA 2000 Oxygen Adapter is small, lightweight, clear in color and easily snaps onto the PMV 2000 (Clear valve) or PMV 2001 (Purple valve) valves. The PMA 2000 allows for easy delivery of supplemental low flow oxygen (<6L/min) and humidity. Patients can improve their mobility and comfort by utilizing the PMA 2000 with oxygen tubing and a small portable oxygen tank, eliminating the need for bulky aerosol tubing. The Passy Muir PMA 2000 adapter may be used in-line with mechanical ventilators in conjunction with non-disposable, flexible tubing, such as a 22mm silicone adapter. When using the PMA 2000 adapter, oxygen is delivered in front of the diaphragm of the Passy Muir Trach Valve. This reduces complications associated with devices that provide continuous flow behind the diaphragm, which may include air trapping, drying of secretions and possible cilia damage.
Specifications
- Product ID Number: PMA 2000.
- Color: Clear.
- Oxygen Flow: up to 6 LPM.
- Application: Trach Ventilator Adapter.
- User: Adult.
- Disposable.
- HCPCS Code: A4649, E1385.
- UNSPSC Code: 42271705.

SECURE-IT Tracheostomy Attachment Accessory
Since ventilator or tracheostomy valves can be easy dislodged by coughing, the Secure-It device keeps the valve attached to the patient. The SECURE-IT Attachment secures the PMV 2000, PMV 2001 and PMV 2020 to the patient. Each of these are designed with a small ring that allows the Secure-It device to attach from the valve to the trach tie to prevent valve loss. Each PMV 2000, PMV 2001 and PMV 2020 comes packaged with one PMVSIS Secure-It. The Secure-It is also available in packets of five. Use of the PMV Secure-It is optional.
