Device Description
The NeoNatalie Resuscitator is a self-inflating manual resuscitator that is intended for patients
requiring total or intermittent ventilatory support.
Indication for Use
The NeoNatalie Resuscitator is intended for patients requiring total or intermittent ventilatory
support.Ventilation is possible with or without supplemental oxygen.
Intended Use
The NeoNatalie Resuscitator with the Oxygen kit enables the delivery of oxygen-enriched air
to the newborn.
Intended Users
The NeoNatalie Resuscitator is intended to be used by healthcare professionals trained in
delivering ventilatory support and in the use of manual resuscitators.
Clinical Benefits
Positive impact on clinical outcome, by respiratory support that reduces probability of adverse
outcomes, such as morbidity and mortality caused by hypoxia.
Clinical Outcome
Desired outcome of ventilation is oxygenation of the patient, often evaluated using SpO2,
EtCO2, blood gas analysis or other method of analysis.
Known Side Effects
Gastric Insufflation
Oxygen Toxicity
Contraindications
No known contraindications for use.

846130 Oxygen Reservoir Bag andTubing (NeoNatalie)
Safety When Using Oxygen
1. Build-up and transfer of high pressure to the patient is prevented since excess O2is vented
to atmosphere over the Outlet Valve of the Oxygen Kit.
2. When O2supply is insufficient, intake of ambient air for ventilation is afforded by the Inlet
Valve of the Oxygen Valve Housing.
3. An Oxygen Reservoir Bag that stays flat during the whole ventilation cycle is a visual
indication that none, or little supplemental O2is being provided.
4. In the presence of high oxygen concentrations there is danger from smoking or naked
flames. Oil or grease must not be used with the resuscitator.

Function Test
Check before each use.
Fill the Reservoir Bag with ambient air
by using the resuscitator as a pump.
Attach the filled Reservoir Bag to
the Oxygen Valve Housing.

Function Test
Squeeze the ventilation bag fully and then release quickly. Rapid re-expansion of the
Ventilation Bag confirms that the Inlet Valve efficiently draws in ambient air, for cases when
oxygen supply is inadequate.
Compress the filled Reservoir
Bag rapidly with your hand.
Check visually that the
Outlet Valve opens and
bleeds off excessive air/
oxygen, for cases when
oxygen supply is excessive.
Seal the oxygen nipple
with a finger.
Squeeze theVentilation
Bag several times until
the Reservoir Bag is
flat and empty.

Clinical Use
Using the Oxygen Kit
The Oxygen Valve Housing and the Inlet and Outlet valves must be cleaned and disinfected
before first patient use.
The Oxygen Kit may be reused provided proper reprocessing procedures are performed
between each patient use.
Do not attempt cleaning of Oxygen reservoir bag and tubing inside. If their inside is
contaminated, they must be disposed of.
Note
The oxygen source should be able to be adjusted to provide a flow relevant to the NeoNatalie
Resuscitator.
1. Screw the Oxygen Valve Housing onto the resuscitator’s Inlet Valve.
2. Attach the oxygen tube to the OxygenValve Housing and the oxygen source.
See Technical Information section for oxygen concentrations at typical oxygen flow rates.
3. For higher oxygen concentrations, attach the reservoir bag to the Oxygen Valve Housing.
If any components are loose, then tighten or reassemble the device and test in accordance
with page 8-9.
