To read a Shiley trach box, check the label for key details such as the tracheostomy tube’s inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), and length, all usually in millimeters. For example, the Shiley 6IC75 Inner Tracheostomy Cannula is labeled as 7.5 mm ID and 10.8 mm OD. The box will also specify if the tube is cuffed or uncuffed, fenestrated or non-fenestrated, and display the product reference number. Always confirm these specifications before use.
