should inflate during inspiration and deflate during exhalation. Check for
leakage at all joints and connections. Ensure that the Resuscitator refills
promptly and properly and that all valves are operating correctly. If not,
repeat the tests above to find where the problem lies.

2. Compress and hold the bag. The non-rebreathing (duckbill) valve
inside the non-rebreathing valve should open and the test lung should
fill. If not, check the connection between the Resuscitator and the test
lung, and check that the non-rebreathing valve is correctly assembled.
3. Release the bag. The non-rebreathing (duckbill) valve should close
and as the test lung deflates, gas shouldFlow through the expiratory
ports in the non-rebreathing valve. If not, check that the non-rebreath-
ing valve is correctly assembled.
4. Ventilate the test lung for a minimum of ten cycles to ensure that the
Resuscitator is functioning correctly. Inspiration must occur when the sil-
icone bag is compressed and exhalation when the bag is released. If not,
check that the non-rebreathing valve is correctly assembled. To check the
function of the pressure relief valve (Infant and Child Resuscitators).
TESTING 2 OXYGEN RESERVOIR/RESERVOIR VALVE ASSEMBLIES
1. Attach the reservoir to the reservoir valve assembly. Attach the silicone
bag.
2. Inflate the reservoir and block the reservoir port.
3. Compress the reservoir bag. Gas should escape through the safety out-
let valve on the reservoir valve. If not, check that the reservoir valve is
correctly assembled.
4. Connect the reservoir and reservoir valve assembly to a Resuscitator.
5. Cycle the Resuscitator through several ventilations. The safety inlet
valve on the reservoir valve should open during each refill to allow room
air to enter the silicone bag. If not, check that the reservoir valve is cor-
rectly assembled.
Note: If supplemental oxygen is not connected, the silicone bag will refill
more slowly if the reservoir is still attached.
TESTING 3 OVERALL RESUSCITATOR FUNCTION
1. Fully assemble the Resuscitator (non-rebreathing valve, silicone bag,
reservoir valve and oxygen reservoir). Connect the Resuscitator to a sup-
plemental gas source and connect a test lung to the patient outlet on the
non-rebreathing valve.
2. Set the supplemental gas flow to 15 litres per minute for the adult and
child models; and to 10 l/min for the infant model.
3. Cycle the Resuscitator through several ventilations. The test lung
