Cautions
• Laerdal strongly discourages the use of rinsing and drying agents.
Such agents may not be compatible with the materials used in the
Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator.
• The use of cleaning and disinfection procedures not described in
this section may have adverse effects on the LSR material and/or
performance.
• The LSR must be high-level disinfected before first time use.
• The resuscitator components must be cleaned and disinfected
before next patient use
.
Note
Contamination: If the Patient Valve becomes contaminated with vomit
during ventilation, disconnect the resuscitator from the patient and clear
the Patient Valve as follows:
• Tap the Patient Valve with the patient port against your gloved
hand to shake free any contaminant and squeeze the silicone bag
to deliver several sharp breaths through the Patient Valve to expel
the contaminant.
• If contaminant does not clear; disassemble the Patient Valve and rinse.
