Manual Resuscitator
INDICATIONS FOR MANUAL RESUSCITATOR USE:
•
Pulmonary Resuscitation
CAUTIONS:
•
This product must be used by qualified personnel in the techniques of
pulmonary resuscitation.
WARNINGS:
•
Never store this resuscitator in a compressed state other than as delivered
by the manufacturer
•
Verify pressure with a manometer at Manometer port.
•
Do not occlude exit port of reservoir bag
•
Resuscitators with PEEP valves should be used only qualified personnel.
•
Device is packaged with the valve activated
•
Always monitor the patient.
•
Operating the resuscitator incorrectly can be hazardous
•
Use the correct size resuscitator for the ideal body mass of the patient to
avoid the risk of hypoventilation or barotrauma.
•
Avoid using an oxygen concentration more than that which is clinically
required by the patient. Delivering excessive oxygen can increase the risk
of oxygen toxicity e.g. pulmonary damage, retinopathy of prematurity
•
Patient expired gas is potentially infectious. Breathing filters can reduce
but not eliminate contamination risk.
PRECAUTIONS:
DO:
1. Clear patient’s airway before using manual resuscitator.
2. Always check for proper function of resuscitator:
• Verify proper valve action.
• Verify that the valve is free of obstruction
• Verify patient is being ventilated by observing alternate rise and fall of
the patient’s chest and color of lips and face during resuscitation.
DO NOT:
1. Do not use in contaminated atomosphere (e.g., poisonous gases, smoke,
etc.)
2. If oxygen is used, do not use in presence of sparking equipment or open
flame.
3. Do not autoclave, gas, or chemically sterilize the Manual Resuscitator.
4. Do not lubricate fittings, connections, tubing, or other accessories of the
resuscitator to avoid the risk of fire and burns.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Set-up of Manual Resuscitator
1. Prior to using the resuscitator, visually verify proper valve action
while squeezing the resuscitator.
2. If resuscitating with high oxygen concentrations of oxygen, attach
oxygen tube to proper oxygen source.
3. Set oxygen flow on the order of a physician. Do not exceed 15lpm.
4. To attach resuscitation bag to mask, press mask’s 22mm I.D. into
resuscutator’s 22 O.D. connection.
5. When resuscitating through endotracheal tube or tube adapters,
remove mask and attach 15mm O.D. tube adapter to resuscitator.
This is a 15mm I.D. connection.
Operation of Manual Resuscitator-STANDARD SELECTION
1. Clear patient’s airway, if obstructed.
2. Tilt patient’s head back and pull chin up.
3. After establishing this position, place mask firmly over nose and
mouth and hold in place.
4. Resuscitate patient by alternatively squeezing and releasing the
bag at the prescribed rate.
• If faster cycling at reduced FiO2 is desired in the selected stan-
dard setting, unscrew tail end from the resuscitator to resuscitate
without oxygen.
5. Verify that the patient’s chest rises and falls during resuscitation. If
movement is absent during resuscitation, check patient’s airway.
6. Time manual resuscitation with any spontaneous breathing to pre-
vent blockage of exhalation.
7. Clear valve obstructions, if any. Foreign material in the valve may be
removed by squeezing the bag briskly and shaking any remaining
obstruction of the exhalation port and/or rinsing with water.
8. Discard manual resuscitator after use
Operation of Manual Resuscitator-ACTIVATED SELECTION
1. Clear patient’s airway, if obstructed.
2. Tilt patient’s head back and pull chin up.
3. After establishing this position, place mask firmly over nose and
mouth and hold in place.
4. Resuscitate patient by alternatively squeezing and releasing the
bag.
5. When the activated valve is set, use one hand and place fingertips
on the ridges of the bag. Optional strap is included to help hold the
bag in place. when both the index finger and thumb come together.
Wait until the bag fully inflates before beginning the next breath.
6. Verify that the patient’s chest rises and falls during resuscitation. If
movement is absent during resuscitation, check patient’s airway.
7. Time manual resuscitation with any spontaneous breathing to pre-
vent blockage of exhalation.
8. Clear valve obstructions, if any. Foreign material in the valve may be
removed by squeezing the bag briskly and shaking any remaining
obstruction of the exhalation port and/or rinsing with water.
9. Discard manual resuscitator after use.
