Technology Description
The technology is a handheld automatic resuscitation device that is designed for BLS (Basic Life Support) emergency resuscitation. The device is completely pneumatic (no batteries required) and once set, it delivers breath by breath consistency in delivered tidal volume, frequency, inspiratory/expiratory times and flow rates. This consistent ventilation is not achievable with a standard bag-valve-mask and prevents the delivery of excessive ventilation. Replacing bag-valve-masks with this device takes the guesswork out of how hard and often a “bag” should be squeezed. It delivers ventilation automatically, freeing rescuer's hands to focus on other patient needs rather than their own bagging performance.
