Description

The Bag & Mask Child with PEEP Valve is a specialized manual resuscitator designed for pediatric patients, specifically tailored for those weighing between 7 and 30 kilograms (15 to 66 pounds). This device is essential for healthcare professionals in emergency and critical care settings, providing reliable positive pressure ventilation when needed most.

Key Features

• Single-Use Design: The disposable nature of this resuscitator eliminates the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring safety with each use. It is not intended for reprocessing or sterilization.

• Self-Inflating Bag: Equipped with a self-inflating mechanism, the bag ensures consistent manual ventilation, re-expanding automatically after each compression.

• Child-Sized Face Mask: The included face mask is designed to create an airtight seal, crucial for effective ventilation. Proper sizing is essential for optimal performance.

• Adjustable PEEP Valve: The Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) valve is adjustable, with a calibrated range of 4 to 20 cm H₂O. It helps maintain open alveoli, enhancing gas exchange and improving ventilation.

• Pressure Relief Valve: A pop-off valve prevents excessive airway pressure, reducing the risk of barotrauma. It activates at approximately 40 cm H₂O, with a higher setting available over 80 cm H₂O.

Advanced Specifications

• Oxygen Delivery: The device includes an oxygen reservoir and inlet, capable of delivering over 91% oxygen concentration at a 15 L/min flow rate. It can also function with room air if necessary.

• Non-Rebreathing Valve: This feature directs oxygen efficiently to the patient while preventing exhaled gases from re-entering the bag.

• Swivel Connection: A 360-degree swivel connection between the valve and mask enhances operator comfort and flexibility.

• Ergonomic Design: The integrated handle and SafeGrip™ surface provide secure handling, reducing operator fatigue.

Additional Features

• MR Conditional: Safe for use in MRI environments.
• Color-Coded Components: Simplifies size identification.

Technical Details

• Materials: Made from SEBS polymer, environmentally safe and fully disposable.
• Operating Temperature: Functions effectively between -18°C and 50°C.
• Dimensions: Approximately 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 3.5 inches high.

Usage Instructions

Healthcare professionals are advised to perform functional testing before use, connect to an appropriate oxygen source, and ensure proper mask fitting. Adjustments to the PEEP and pop-off valves should be made as clinically indicated. After use, the device should be disposed of properly.

Precautions

This resuscitator is intended for use by trained medical personnel only. It should not be used in contaminated environments or with patients outside the specified weight range. Proper mask fit is crucial to minimize leaks and ensure effective ventilation.

Common Applications

Ideal for emergency resuscitation, manual ventilation during transport, and situations requiring enhanced oxygenation through positive end-expiratory pressure. This device is a vital tool in the hands of skilled healthcare providers, ensuring the best possible outcomes in critical situations.
