Caution:
1. The resuscitators must be used by personnel thoroughly trained in the techniques of pulmonary resuscitation.
2. Clear patient's airway before using manual resuscitator.
3. Always check for proper function of resuscitator.
4. Verify proper valve action. Verify patient is being ventilated by observing alternate rise and fall of the patient’s chest and color of lips and face during resuscitator.
5. Always make functional test of the resuscitator after unpacking and assembly.
6. Do not use the resuscitator in toxic or hazardous atmospheres.
7. Oil or grease should not be used in close proximity to oxygen equipment –fire may result.
8. Do not smoke or use open flames when oxygen is in use- fire may result.
Instruction:
1.Open mouth, clear airway of all foreign matter and fluids. The use of an Emergency Aspirator is recommended. Tilt head fully backwards and push the jaw upwards with neck stretched to open the airway. 2.To assist ventilation it may be beneficial to insert an artificial airway. Be careful that it does not push the tongue back and thus obstruct the throat.
3.Hold mask tightly to victim's face,covering mouth and nose, tilt head fully backwards, mask-holding hand lifting jaw forward. Squeeze the bag smartly and watch chest expand.
4.Release pressure on the bag suddenly and allow the chest to deflate. Repeat 12-20 times per minute, or 30 times in the case of infants.If continued resistance to insufflation is encountered, check for airway obstruction or correct the backward head tilt. If adequate ventilation is not achieved with the resuscitator, immediately revert to expired air ventilation (mouth-to-mouth, or mouth-to-nose).
5. The correct ventilation frequency may vary. Please follow the current ventilation frequency recommended by national or international guidelines.
6. If the patient vomits during mask ventilation, immediately clear the patient’s airways of vomitus, then freely compress the bag a few times before resuming ventilation.
7. Adult Version: The pressure limiting valve is open at 60 cmH2O. Pediatric and infant Version: The pressure limiting valve is open at 40 cmH2O. (Caution: A hissing sound can be heard when the device opens.)
8. If higher pressures are required, press and spin the button while squeezing the bag, the pressure limiting valve is overridden. (Warning: High ventilation pressures may cause lung rupture or stomach distension on certain patients.) High ventilation pressures may cause.
9. Administer oxygen reference to Specifications or according to medical indications.
