Ambu SPUR II Mode D'emploi page 9

NOTE: As the valve discs are moving during functionality test or during ventilation a slight sound may
appear. This does not compromise the functionality of the resuscitator.
Oxygen tube
Mounting of the oxygen tube and test of function for the oxygen reservoir bag and the
oxygen reservoir tube should be performed at temperatures above 0 °C. For use of the
resuscitator at temperatures below 0 °C, leave the oxygen tube connected to the oxygen
supply following the test of function.
Oxygen reservoir bag
Supply a gas flow of 10 l/min at the oxygen inlet connector. Eventually, support unfolding
of the bag by hand. Check that the oxygen reservoir bag fills. If not, check the integrity of
the two valve shutters or for a torn oxygen reservoir.
Subsequently, adjust the supplied gas flow according to medical indication.
Oxygen reservoir tube
Supply a gas flow of 10 l/min at the oxygen inlet connector. Check that the oxygen flows
out at the end of the oxygen reservoir tube. If not, check for a blocked oxygen tube.
Subsequently, adjust the supplied gas flow according to medical indication.
M-Port
Remove the M-Port cap and block the patient connector. Squeeze the bag and listen for
the sound of air being pressed out through the M-Port.
4.3. Operating the resuscitator
– Use recommended techniques to clear the patient's mouth and airway and to position
the patient correctly, to open the airway.
– Hold the face mask firmly against the patient's face.
– Slide your hand (Adult Version) or ring and middle finger (Pediatric version) under the
handle. The infant version does not have a support handle.

3.1
Ventilation without using the support handle can be achieved by turning the bag.
Ventilation of the patient: During insufflation observe for chest rise. Release the hand
holding the bag abruptly and listen for the expiratory flow from the patient valve and as
well for the visual lowering of the chest.
– If continued resistance to insufflation is encountered, check the airway for obstruction
and re-position the patient, to ensure an open airway.
– If the patient vomits during ventilation; immediately clear the patient's airway, and expel
the vomit from the resuscitator by shaking and compressing it forcefully and fast several
times before resuming ventilation.
If necessary, wipe off the product with a cloth containing alcohol and clean the splash
guard with water.
Manometer port
The Ambu disposable pressure manometer as well as third party pressure gauge can be
attached to the manometer port, situated on the top of the patient valve. Remove the cap
and attach the manometer/pressure gauge
Pressure-limiting system 4
The pressure-limiting valve is set to open at 40 cmH₂O (4.0kPa).
If medical and professional assessment indicates a pressure above 40 cmH₂O is required,
the pressure-limiting valve can be overridden by moving the override clip onto the valve.
Alternatively, the pressure-limiting valve can be overridden by placing a finger on the red
button while squeezing the bag.
M-Port
The Ambu SPUR II Resuscitator comes either with or without an M-Port. The M-Port
provides access to the inspiratory and expiratory gas flow and can be used for applying
medication, where connected to a syringe, and as well used to measure side stream CO₂
(EtCO₂). When not in use, remember to close the M-port with the red M-port cap.
