Intended Use

The BEAR Adjustable Pressure Limit Valve is intended to be an accessory for the BEAR 33 Volume Ventilator which provides clinically accepted features for the ventilation management of pediatric patients requiring breath volume delivery of 100 ml to 2200 ml.

In addition to the standard features, the intent of this device is to be utilized during high flow and high tidal volume delivery to those patients with an uncuffed artificial airway or in other patient configurations which ensure an intentional artificial airway leak.

The pressure relief valve is intended to be used with patients that have respiratory failure/insufficiency and require mechanical ventilation.
