The General Services Administration has authorized the use of this commercial item description.
This commercial item description covers a portable rescue breathing set and shall include a hand-operated resuscitator, a foot-operated aspirator and a carrying case. Shall be for use by medical personnel during emergency resuscitation of human.
Salient characteristics:
Material and description. The resuscitator shall be designed for hand-operation and shall have the capability to administer either of both air and enriched oxygen concentrations, to re-establish and assist normal breathing during respiratory emergencies occurring in a wide range of climatic conditions.
The resuscitator assembly shall include a self-filling compressible butyl rubber or silicon bag. The bag shall have a minimum volume capacity of 1.6 liters, and shall be designed to control bag recovery, and shall be designed/shaped for single hand support/pump operation.
The proximal end of the bag shall be fitted with a non-repeating patient valve that is contained in a suitable plastic housing having a standard 15/22 mm connector at the patient end which is in accordance with ANSI Z79.8. The distal end of the bag shall be fitted with an adapter ring that shall be connectable to the manufacturer’s optional accumulator. The adapter ring shall include a check valve inlet and a nipple for connection of a low pressure oxygen tube. The valve shall be capable of admitting either ambient air or oxygen enriched air. The nipple shall not provide a direct path into the bag. It shall have a side outlet for oxygen to mix with air inside the adapter ring in proximity of the inlet valve. The complete adapter ring shall be capable of enriching the oxygen concentration of the air just prior to admission into the bag.
The resuscitator shall also include a reusable medium adult size face mask that shall consist of a suitable face seal, a suitably transparent front section which allows visual monitoring of patient breath content, and a connector. The connector shall be compatible with the bag connector and standard adapters specified in ANSI Z79.2 and Z79.6.
The foot-operated aspirator assembly shall have the capacity to remove secretions from the patient’s airway to enable successful resuscitation efforts. The aspirator shall effectively function with an overflowing collection jar. The assembly shall be supported on a base that allows either foot or hand operation.
