With dentists requiring unfettered access to the oral cavity, Safe Sedate delivers medical gases through a comfortable nasal mask available in two sizes, Small and Large. The Safe Sedate mask from King Systems is preferred by patients over the traditional and more rigid reusable masks and offers high performance for both the dentist and their dental teams by ensuring the amount of gases targeted for delivery reach the patient with little to no leakage. Safe Sedate is a novel, patented product that safely and conveniently supports the delivery of nitrous oxide and other gases to dental patients.
Its single use value proposition reduces the possibility of cross-contamination and is easily connected to gas delivery equipment through a series of simple adaptors. And its cutting edge design offers superior gas scavenging to minimize medical gas migration into the dental operatory atmosphere. This benefit keeps dentists and their dental teams safe, while offering greater compliance with environmental health guidelines.

Re: KING LT(S)-D™ Oropharyngeal Airway update
Dear Valued Customers,
As stated in our communication dated December 4, 2009, the FDA accepted our amended IFU (Instruction for Use) with the revised Indications and Contraindications (noted below) and as such we have continued shipment of product with the revised IFU and Labeling.
Please note that King Systems has taken the following actions associated with the KING LT Product:
The KLT(S)-D is not proven to protect the airway from the effects of regurgitation and aspiration. The risk of regurgitation and aspiration must be weighed against the potential benefit of establishing an airway.
The KLTS-D/KLT-D 510(k) with broader Indications for the KLT product and defined intended use for difficult and emergency airways has been submitted to the FDA. We are pursuing all avenues to expedite its review and approval.
If you have questions, please email them to ltsd@www.kingsystems.com or contact me directly at 317-776-6823, extension 257.
