- The correct operation of all valves.
- The correct operation of the reserve and the oxygen tube.
During ventilation the non-return valve could contaminate with vomit, blood or other secretions. In this
case, stop ventilation and proceed as follows:
- Rapidly compress the bag several times so that to expel the substance through strong jets of air.
If the non return valve is not clean yet:
- Dip the valve in the water and rapidly compress the bag several times with strong jets of air.
If the valve is still obstructed, throw out the bag.
Prescriptions
- Do not use the bag in presence of toxic substances.
- Remove the oxygen reserve and the supplementary valve if oxygen is not being given. The non-
removal reduces the recharge speed and consequently the ventilation frequency.
- Do not give supplementary oxygen in presence of free ames.
- Do not use oil, grease or other hydrocarbon containing substances on the bag and its components.
The supplementary oxygen, given under pressure, can cause explosions if mixed with hydrocarbons.
- The use of this device is reserved to qualied medical personnel trained in lung ventilation and cardiac
resuscitation advanced techniques.
- Before using the device on patients, make sure you are able to assemble, disassemble and use it.
- During ventilation, always check the airways pressure with a pressure gauge
