the mouth and nose with

thumb and index finger, using

Inflate the lung by

compressing resuscitation bag

with the other hand. Develop

rhythmic pattern for

adequate inspiratory/

expiratory time.

Check to ensure that you are

performing ventilation

properly

Observe rise and fall of the



patient's chest.

face color through the

transparent face mask.

General Instructions for Operation

Select the appropriate size of MR‐100

Child or Adult). Select the appropriate size of face mask If ventilation by

mask is to be performed. Connect mask to the outlet on non‐rebreathing

valve.

If supplemental oxygen is to be used, connect supply tubing (not supplied)

between the regulated gas source and the oxygen reservoir inlet. Adjust gas

flow so that the reservoir expands completely during the delivery of the

breath and nearly collapses as the bag refills.

If supplemental oxygen is not to be used, remove the reservoir. Failure to do

so will affect the refill rate and maximum frequency capabilities.

Should the non‐rebreathing valve become contaminated with vomit, blood

or secretions during ventilation, disconnect the Resuscitator from the

patient and clear the non‐rebreathing valve as follows:

Squeeze the silicone bag to deliver several sharp breaths through the non‐

rebreathing valve to expel the contamination. If the contamination does not

clear, continue ventilation with another resuscitator or use mouth to

mouth/mask techniques. Disassemble the non‐rebreathing valve and rinse

it with water. Reassemble and disinfect.

Once the procedure is completed, clean, disinfect and test the Resuscitator

as described under Cleaning & Disinfection (P.14) & Testing the Resuscitator

(P.15).
