Description

The ResMed Leak Valve is an essential component for enhancing patient safety in ventilator applications. Designed for single-patient use, this device serves as a reliable leak port, ensuring continuous airflow and preventing the re-breathing of exhaled carbon dioxide in the event of ventilator failure.

Key Features

• Anti-Asphyxia Valve (AAV): The integrated anti-asphyxia valve is a critical feature that automatically opens during unexpected ventilator failure. This function allows airflow through vent holes, safeguarding against carbon dioxide re-breathing.

• Compatibility: Specifically intended for use with the Stellar ventilator in invasive applications, making it a recommended replacement for the ResMed Leak Port.

• Usage Duration: Designed for effective use over a period of 1 to 7 days.

Usage Guidelines

Healthcare professionals are advised to monitor the anti-asphyxia valve membrane to ensure it remains closed during normal ventilation. Should the membrane open, adjusting the Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) is recommended.

Included Instructions

Each unit comes with a comprehensive instruction sheet detailing intended use, setup, cleaning information, and technical specifications.

Packaging

The ResMed Leak Valve is sold individually, providing a tailored solution for specific clinical needs. Its thoughtful design and comprehensive guidance make it an invaluable tool for clinicians aiming to maintain optimal ventilation safety.
