Intended Use
Upright with Newborn PEEP is a self-inflating, manual, reusable
resuscitator with PEEP valve, intended for newborns and
infants up to 10 kg body mass who require respiratory
support.
PEEP can be deactivated by removing the PEEP valve
membrane.
Upright with Newborn PEEP can provide supplemental
oxygen only when used with the accessory oxygen kit.
Upright with Newborn PEEP may be reused provided
reprocessing procedures are followed between each patient
use. It must be cleaned and high-level disinfected or sterilized
before first use.
Caution
The patient should be constantly monitored while this product is in use.
Using Upright with Newborn PEEP
Orientation: Upright with Newborn PEEP is operated as a
normal resuscitator, with the bag having a vertical stance over
the mask.
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) retains a volume of air
in the lungs between each ventilation. For newborns with
fluid-filled or immature lungs, PEEP helps prevent repeated
lung alveolar collapse during ventilation. This helps recruit lung
volume more efficiently, clear fluid from the lungs and reduces
damage to the lung tissue.
Newborn Mask - Snap design: The mask fits with standard
15 mm inner-diameter conical connectors. Check fit before
use with other devices. When used with Upright with New-
born PEEP, the mask attaches with a snap fit when pressed
completely into place.

Upright with
Newborn PEEP
NEWBORN BAG-MASK WITH PEEP
REUSABLE - AUTOCLAVABLE
Pressure release valve: Upright with Newborn PEEP has a
pressure release valve (“pop-off”) which limits the airway
pressure to 30-45 cmH
2
O. A hissing sound can be heard
when the valve opens. If higher airway pressure is needed,
press downwards on the valve with the index finger while
squeezing the bag.
Vomitus or mucus: If the patient valve or PEEP valve
membrane becomes contaminated with vomitus or mucus,
remove the PEEP valve cap and membrane, clear the patient
valve by shaking Upright with Newborn PEEP and forcefully
squeezing the bag to expel the vomitus. If cleared, continue
ventilating without using the PEEP membrane and cap. If it
does not clear, disassemble the patient valve (see page 2),
rinse it in water and then reassemble.
If any components are loose, tighten or reassemble the
device and test in accordance with page 2.
Warnings
Upright with Newborn PEEP should only be used by persons trained in
operating resuscitators. Incorrect operation can be hazardous.
Do not use Upright with Newborn PEEP if you have any reason to be
concerned about its functionality.
Do not pull open slit on Newborn PEEP membrane.
Do not attempt to block the Newborn PEEP cap or port, which could
prevent patient expiration.
High ventilation rates (> 60 ventilations per minute) may restrict
patient expirations and increase PEEP above 8 cmH
2
O.
Use of Newborn PEEP on infants larger than 5 kg may result in
higher PEEP.
For proper function, ensure that Upright with Newborn PEEP
components are not mixed and confused with similar-looking
non-Laerdal components. All Upright with Newborn PEEP components
are marked LAERDAL, as shown in the Product Overview section.
At freezing temperatures, PEEP function could be reduced or lost.
Absence of a hissing sound after each ventilation may indicate this.
Not to be used in a respiratory circuit.
