What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Tolerability assessment by using a symptom questionnaire (QLQ-H&N35) before and after surgery. Evaluation of tracheal mucosa directly during surgery and after the end of study by using photos.
Time Frame: Change from Baseline in symptoms and tracheal mucosa after surgery of expected average length of 5 hours
Change from Baseline in symptoms and tracheal mucosa after surgery of expected average length of 5 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall assessment of safety (device related adverse events and any problems in post postoperative course)
Time Frame: Participants will be followed on the surgery day and the day after surgery
Participants will be followed on the surgery day and the day after surgery
Overall assessment of device performance
Time Frame: The performance will be followed during surgery of an expected average duration of 5 hours
Recording of any device related problems experienced by the physician/health care personnel
The performance will be followed during surgery of an expected average duration of 5 hours

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Develop a method for surrogate performance evaluation by microbial colonization testing of bacteria from the ETT surface
Time Frame: Microbial testing up to 1 day after surgery
Microbial testing up to 1 day after surgery
