the pressure limiting device can be overridden with finger pressure on the plunger or disabled by depressing
and turning the plunger.
5 If high concentrations of oxygen are needed, attach oxygen tubing (4) to the bag and an adjustable oxygen
source, and attach an oxygen reservoir bag (5) or (6) to the bag.
6 Adjust oxygen flow to ensure the oxygen reservoir bag remains fully or partially inflated during use.
7 When using a mask (3) attached to the resuscitator, be sure you have a tight seal and secure fit.
8 When using an endotracheal tube or tracheotomy tube, remove mask (3) and attach the resuscitation unit
directly to the tube.The mask elbow provides a 15 mm I.D. port for this purpose.
9 HAND STRAP: Grab the bag with your hand. Adjust the hand strap (8) by loosening the loop from the
hook then pull the strap to fit your hand, and finally reattach the loop to the hook.
Operation Instructions
If supplemental oxygen is needed, connect the oxygen source to the resuscitation bag oxygen connector.
1 Open patient's airway.
2 Clear patient's mouth of foreign matter.
3 Apply mask firmly to the face. If the patient is intubated, attach the patient valve connector directly to the
endotracheal tube. Squeeze and release the bag allowing enough time between inspirations for the patient
to exhale and the bag to re-expand. Follow local protocol.
4 Observe the rise and fall of the patient's chest and listen for the air flow from the valve as the patient
exhales.
IMPORTANT: If the patient's chest does not rise and fall with each breath or no airflow is present, the patient's
airway or the patient valve itself may be blocked.
WARNING: TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION by performing artificial respiration (mouth-to-mouth,mouth-to-
barrier, mouth-to-tube resuscitation) or follow local protocol.The airway must be cleared before proceeding.
