The CAREvent® BLS Handheld Resuscitator is lightweight, portable, extremely durable and simple to use automatic time/volume cycled ventilatory resuscitator. The added feature of a Manually Actuated, Automatic Ventilation Override Button (Manual Button) allows the operator to control the ventilations manually if required.

The single slider control for the simultaneous adjustment of ventilation frequency and tidal volume has 6 preset settings for a range of patients from infants to large adults and an OFF position so that the resuscitator can be left attached to the gas supply with the supply turned on, ready for immediate use.

During CPR actuation of the manual button causes the automatic cycling to cease to allow the provision of chest compressions. Cycling will re-start following manual actuation after a delay of 4 to 7 seconds depending on the selected setting of the slider control.

The pneumatic logic circuit can be run off either compressed air or medical oxygen.

CAREvent® BLS “G2K” Resuscitator

Designed to comply with the latest CPR Guidelines 2000 recommendations of a 15:2 compression:ventilation ratio in the un-intubated patient, this model has a 10 second delay to automatic cycling re-start “in any setting”, following manual ventilation actuation, to allow for 15 chest compressions to be provided.

The CAREvent® ALS Handheld Resuscitator is lightweight, portable, extremely durable and simple to use automatic time/volume cycled ventilatory resuscitator with “Demand Breathing Capability” for the spontaneously breathing patient. The added feature of a Manually Actuated, Automatic Ventilation Override Button (Manual Button) allows the operator to control the ventilations manually if required.

The single slider control for the simultaneous adjustment of ventilation frequency and tidal volume has 6 preset settings for a range of patients from infants to large adults and an OFF position so that the resuscitator can be left attached to the gas supply with the supply turned on, ready for immediate use.

During CPR actuation of the manual button causes the automatic cycling to cease to allow the provision of chest compressions. Cycling will re-start following manual actuation after a delay of 4 to 7 seconds depending on the selected setting of the slider control.

The Demand Breathing feature allows the patient to spontaneously breathe through the resuscitator on 100% oxygen, at their own desired rate and volume. In addition, the patient’s inspiratory efforts cause the automatic cycling to cease. Should the patient cease breathing spontaneously, the ventilator will automatically restart cycling in the automatic setting selected.

Note: In the child settings the inspired flow rate of the patient may be insufficient to cause the Automatic Circuit Shutoff to function.

The pneumatic logic circuit can be run off either compressed air or medical oxygen.

The CAREvent® ATV is an Intermittent Positive Pressure ventilator with independent frequency of ventilation and Minute Volume settings to provide a comprehensive selection of delivered tidal volumes and ventilation rates. The design of the micro-pneumatic circuitry in the Automatic Transport Ventilator maintains a consistent I:E Ratio set at 1:2 throughout the entire setting range. Designed for use by suitably trained personnel in the prehospital, inter-hospital and air ambulance settings. The various modes of operation of the ventilator support the resuscitation and transportation of a wide range of patients (from infants to adults) who require ventilatory support.

The added feature of a Manually Actuated, Automatic Ventilation Override Button (Manual Button) to allow the operator to control the ventilations manually if required. In the AUTOmatic mode, the automatic cycling will re-start following manual actuation after a delay of 4 to 7 seconds depending on the selected setting. In the MANual mode the automatic cycling is completely inhibited allowing the operator to fully control the ventilations.

Peak airway pressure is operator adjustable to allow for differing patient conditions.

The "Demand Breathing" feature allows spontaneously breathing patients to breathe on oxygen through the ventilator. The "Automatic Circuit Shut Off" control will cause the automatic cycling to cease when the patient being ventilated takes a spontaneous breath.

Note: In the child settings the inspired flow rate of the patient may be insufficient to cause the Automatic Circuit Shut off to function.

The CAREvent® ATV consists of a ruggedly constructed, portable control module, input hose and optional single use or reusable patient circuit. The ergonomically designed control groupings facilitate the selection and setting of the breathing parameters. The colour groupings provided on the controls add to this ease of use and concept.

The unique pneumatic alarm for low input pressure improves the level of safety for the patient by warning the operator of any problems in the gas supply.

The air mix capability of the ventilator improves the operating time on bottled oxygen for long duration transports. The extremely low drive gas consumption ensures full utilization of the cylinder contents. As an added precaution a replaceable filter is incorporated into the rear of the ventilator to prevent contaminated air entering into the unit when using the air mix mode.

All controls are located on the front of the resuscitator facing the operator including the manual button. This allows for both hands to remain on the face mask facilitating a superior mask-to-face seal during ventilation.

The tidal volume and frequency can be simultaneously adjusted by one setting selector to suite the average patient's lung capacity and normal respiratory rates. This model is equipped with a manual button which functions independently of the automatic cycling circuit to enable the operator to control the rate and volume of ventilation. The manual flow rate is fixed at 40 lpm in line with the American Heart Association "Recommendations and Guidelines for Resuscitation".

Spontaneously breathing patients, whose respirations are adequate, will cause the "Automatic Shut Off Circuit" to inhibit automatic ventilation. This allows the patient to breath, "on demand", at his/her own rate and volume. If the patient's respirations become inadequate, or completely cease, the automatic cycling will restart without any intervention from the rescuer.

The specific needs of confined space/IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) atmosphere rescue has presented new challenges over the last few years. The IDLH Rescue Resuscitator has been developed to meet the exacting requirements of "Confined Space Rescue".

The IDLH Rescue Resuscitator model combines simplicity of operation with technological sophistication to provide automatic ventilation, at a rate and volume designed to reduce the risk of gastric insufflation. It also provides Demand Breathing and "Automatic Circuit Shut Off" of the automatic cycling unit should the patient begin adequate spontaneous respiration.

The IDLH Rescue Resuscitator, designed according to the specifications developed in conjunction with Shell Canada and the University of Florida, has no external controls or manual button as the confined space conditions are considered to be so hazardous that the less the operator has to do to ventilate the patient, the quicker the extrication and the greater the chance of successful resuscitation.

An added feature of this unit is the MASK PURGE (2 lpm) CONSTANT BLEED FLOW. This reduces the risk of drawing toxic atmosphere into the mask if a leak in the mask to face seal occurs.

The IDLH Rescue Resuscitator provides individuals with a safe and effective means of maintaining artificial ventilation during respiratory arrest, which may occur during confined space, toxic atmosphere, rescue procedures.
