1.2. Warranty
This equipment is manufactured from the finest quality materials.
Each individual part is subject to strict quality control tests to

workmanship for a period of two years from the date of purchase.
The manufacturer will replace and/or repair all parts of the
resuscitator at its option for two years from the date of purchase
at no cost to the purchaser, upon the notification of the defects, in
writing by the purchaser. All shipping costs shall be borne by the

1.3. Features
The CAREvent® ALS Handheld Resuscitator is a pneumatically
powered, time/volume cycled ventilatory resuscitator with the
added feature of a Manually Actuated, Automatic Ventilation
Override Button (Manual Button) to allow the operator to control
the ventilations manually at a rate and volume they desire.
In addition the CAREvent® ALS allows the breathing patient
to “Demand Breathe” on 100% oxygen while their inspiratory
efforts causes the automatic cycling to cease. Should they stop
breathing, the ventilator will automatically restart cycling in the
setting selected.
The “pneumatic logic circuit” can be run on either approved,
compressed, breathing air or medical oxygen. The unit is self
contained and only requires its attachment to a regulated oxygen
or air supply (as specified) for immediate use.
