2.
Compress and hold the bag. The housing duckbill valve inside the non‐
rebreathing valve should open and test lung should be filled. If not,
check the connection between the Resuscitator and the test lung, and
check that the non‐rebreathing valve is correctly assembled.
3.
Release the bag. The duckbill valve should close and as the test lung
deflates, gas should flow through the expiratory ports of the non‐
rebreathing valve. If not, check if the non‐rebreathing valve is correctly
assembled.
4.
Ventilate the test lung for a minimum of ten cycles to ensure that the
Resuscitator is functioning correctly. Inspiration must occur when
the silicone bag is compressed and exhalation should be in place, when
the bag is released. If not, check on the non‐rebreathing valve is
correctly assembled.
To check the function of the pressure relief valve (infant and Child
Resuscitators)
Connect a 0‐100 cmH
2
0 manometer to the patient outlet of the non‐
rebreathing valve. Compress the bag. When the pressure relief valve
activates, the manometer should read 35‐45cmH
2
0. If not, check that the
non‐rebreathing valve is correctly assembled and does not leak. If the
pressure relief valve fails a further test, it must be replaced. Do not attempt
to repair the pressure relief valve.
Oxygen Reservoir/Intake Valve assemblies
1.
Attach the reservoir to the intake valve inlet.
2.
Inflate the reservoir and block the reservoir port.
3.
Compress the reservoir bag. Gas should escape through the safety outlet
valve on the reservoir valve. If not, check if the reservoir valve is
correctly assembled.
4.
Cycle the Resuscitator through several ventilations. The safety inlet valve
on the reservoir valve should open during each refill to allow room air to
enter the silicone bag. If not, check if the safety inlet valve is correctly
assembled.
Overall Resuscitator function
1.
Fully assemble the Resuscitator (non‐rebreathing valve, silicone bag and
oxygen reservoir). Connect the Resuscitator to a supplemental gas source
and connect a test lung to the patient outlet on the non‐rebreathing
valve.
2.
Set the supplemental gas flow to 15LPM for the adult and the child
models; and 10 LPM for the infant model.
3.
Cycle the Resuscitator through several ventilations. The test lung should
inflate during inspiration and deflate during exhalation. Check for
leakage at all joints and connections. Ensure that the Resuscitator ref ills
promptly and properly and that all valves are operating correctly If not,
repeat the tests above to find where the problem lies.
