4. Principle in operation 
The illustration (1) shows the ventilation gas flow mixtures into the bag and to and
from the patient during manual operation of the resuscitator. (a) Mark IV, (b) Mark IV
Baby with closed reservoir, (c) Mark IV Baby with open reservoir.
The gas flow is similar when the patient is breathing spontaneously through the
device. The O reservoir assembly is fitted with two valves, one allowing ambient air

to be drawn in when the reservoir is empty and one spilling out surplus oxygen
when the reservoir bag is full.
1.1 Excess oxygen, 1.2 Air, 1.3 Oxygen inlet, 1.4 Patient, 1.5 Expiration, 1.6 Manometer
port, 1.7 Pressure limiting valve.

During normal operation of the bag, the elasticity of the outer bag will automatically
limit the ventilation pressure, as stated in the table. This pressure limitation with no

5. Instructions for use
5.1. Resuscitator

Preparation

- Fit the facemask and place all items in the plastic bag supplied with the resuscitator.
- The integrity of the kits issued for storage ready for use should be inspected at the
interval established in the local protocol.
- Before use on the patient make a brief functional test as described in section 9.
Patient use
- Clear the patient's mouth and airway using recommended techniques. Use
recommended techniques to position the patient correctly to open the airway
and to hold the mask firmly against the face. (  )
- Ventilate the patient. During insufflation observe the rise of the patient's chest.
Release the bag abruptly and listen for the expiratory flow from the patient valve
and observe lowering of the chest.
