Intended Use
Infant Manual Resuscitator The 1st Response Infant Manual Resuscitator is a pulmonary-assist device intended to provide respiratory support to infant patients suffering from respiratory distress. It is intended for use on patients with a body mass of < 10 kg (22 lbs). Pediatric Manual Resuscitator The 1st Response Pediatric Manual Resuscitator is a pulmonary-assist device intended to provide respiratory support to pediatric patients suffering from respiratory distress. It is intended for use on patients with a body mass of > 10 kg (22 lbs) and <25 kg (55 lbs).
Device Story
Disposable, single-use emergency manual ventilator; consists of compressible plastic bag with inlet and patient-end valves. Inlet valve manages fresh gas entry; patient-end valve includes 15mm/22mm connector, exhalation port, manometer port, and pressure limiting valve (PLV). Optional accessories include bag or tube reservoirs, face masks, disposable manometers, PEEP valves, and exhalation filters. Operated by healthcare providers in emergency settings to provide manual respiratory support. Device functions by manual compression of the bag to deliver gas to the patient; PLV prevents excessive pressure delivery. Benefits include immediate respiratory assistance for patients in distress.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance and specifications verified against ISO 8382:1988 (Resuscitators intended for use with humans) and ISO 5356-1:1987 (Conical connectors).
Technological Characteristics
Plastic compressible bag; inlet and patient-end valve assemblies; 15mm ID x 22mm OD patient connector; pressure limiting valve (PLV); manometer port. Complies with ISO 8382:1988 and ISO 5356-1:1987. Disposable, single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for infant patients (<10 kg) and pediatric patients (>10 kg and <25 kg) suffering from respiratory distress requiring pulmonary support.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### DESCRIPTION:
The 1st Response infant and pediatric manual resuscitators are disposable, single use emergency manual ventilators. Each device consists of a plastic compressible ventilator bag fitted with control valves at each of the two ends.
The inlet valve, opposite the patient end, allows entry of fresh gas into the compressible ventilator bag. The valve blocks escape of fresh gas from the ventilator bag during its compression. Attached to this valve are one of two types of reservoirs; bag reservoir or tube reservoir. These reservoirs serve to collect an overflow of oxygen when a supplemental oxygen supply is used.
The patient end of the ventilator bag is fitted with a second valve assembly. This valve consists of a 15mm ID x 22 mm OD patient connector, exhalation port, manometer port, and a pressure limiting valve (PLV).
The device is provided with or without a face mask. Special configurations are available which include a disposable manometer, PEEP valve with adapter, or exhalation filter.
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE:
## Infant Manual Resuscitator
The 18 Response Infant Manual Resuscitator is a pulmonary-assist device intended to provide respiratory support to infant patients suffering from respiratory distress. It is intended for use on patients with a body mass of < 10 kg (22 lbs).
#### Pediatric Manual Resuscitator
The 1* Response Pediatric Manual Resuscitator is a pulmonary-assist device intended to provide respiratory support to pediatric patients suffering from respiratory distress. It is intended for use on patients with a body mass of > 10 kg (22 lbs) and <25 kg (55 lbs).
## TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The device has the same technical characteristics as the predicate device marketed by Hudson Respiratory Care Inc. and our manual resuscitators.
## NON-CLINICAL DATA:
Performance and specifications of the modified device are consistent with all requirements for this device type specified by ISO 8382:1988 (E) Resuscitators intended for use with humans and ISO 5356-1: 1987 - Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment -Conical connectors - Part 1: Cones and sockets.
