Resuscitation Module with AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator
WARNING:
Always use an airway pressure monitor if the AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator is to be used
unattended. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
• AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator—Use the
AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator in conjunction with the
continuous gas flow provided by the Patient Supply sub-
module. The AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator circuit is a
gas-powered, time-cycled, continuous flow, pressure-
limited resuscitator. It has a Rate (BPM) control and a fixed
I/E ratio of 1:2 nominal. An On/Off switch allows the
timing circuit to be turned on and off as needed. A PEEP
control adjusts the Positive End Expiratory Pressure in the
patient circuit.
• Patient Gas Supply—The patient gas supply circuit may be
used with the AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator turned on or
off to provide continuous gas flow to the patient. Controls
are provided for Airway Pressure Relief (maximum
pressure) and Flow Rate (LPM) (circuit flow delivering
100% oxygen or blended gas). The adjustable Airway
Pressure Relief control is always operative. A fixed internal
safety valve is also provided and is also always operable.
This valve provides redundant maximum pressure relief at 4.9 ± 1.0 kPa (50 cm H
2
O/mbar) and also
allows the patient to inspire room air in the event of gas supply failure. Negative pressure is not
available in the expiratory phase.
NOTE:
Flow Rate (LPM) is equivalent to flow meter.
• Auxiliary Outlet—The auxiliary outlet supplies 100% oxygen through the Auxiliary Flow control to
the auxiliary outlet connector. It is intended for oxygen enrichment of a manual bag resuscitator, for
supplemental delivery to the patient, mother or second neonate, such as a twin. The Auxiliary Flow
control adjusts the flow rate from 0 LPM to 15 LPM. An internal pre-set relief valve limits the
auxiliary outlet pressure to 15.7 kPa (160.1 cm H
2
O/mbar). This internal pre-set relief valve limits the
Aux Outlet pressure to 3.9 kPa (40 cm H
2
O/mbar).
NOTE:
Increasing back pressure may develop as the length of oxygen circuit tubing increases and tubing
diameter decreases. Install oxygen delivery tubing as intended in a clinical situation and verify through
flow measurement that approximately 15 LPM (maximum) can be achieved.
NOTE:
The Auxiliary Outlet oxygen percentage is not adjustable. It always supplies 100% oxygen.
