Laerdal Paediatric Pocket Mask CPR Barrier Device Each (820050)

Pediatric cardiac and respiratory emergencies are high-stress situations that demand precise, specialized medical equipment. The Laerdal Paediatric Pocket Mask CPR Barrier Device Each (820050) is meticulously designed to make cardiopulmonary resuscitation on infants and children safer and more effective. By combining a scaled-down, anatomically accurate silicone mask with advanced one-way valve filtration, this kit ensures that first responders, pediatric nurses, and childcare professionals can deliver life-saving rescue breaths while maintaining a critical barrier against infection.

Why Choose This Product?

Anatomy plays a crucial role in the success of CPR. Using standard adult resuscitation masks on pediatric patients often results in significant air leakage and inadequate ventilation. Laerdal addresses this critical gap with a circular silicone mask tailored specifically for pediatric facial features, ensuring an airtight seal without applying excessive pressure. Furthermore, this kit is designed for immediate, safe deployment. Packaged in a highly visible blue and yellow soft pack, it includes essential personal protective equipment (PPE)—medical gloves and a hygiene wipe—so you are fully protected from cross-contamination the moment an emergency strikes.

Key Features & Benefits

• Circular Silicone Mask: The specialized circular design flawlessly adapts to the facial structures of infants and children, ensuring maximum ventilation efficiency.

• Low-Resistance One-Way Valve: Allows the rescuer to deliver rescue breaths effortlessly while providing a robust physical barrier against the backflow of blood, fluids, and airborne pathogens.

• Complete First Responder Kit: Arrives ready-to-use with the pediatric mask, protective gloves, and a sanitizing wipe for comprehensive on-scene safety.

• High-Visibility Soft Pack: Housed in a durable, brightly colored blue and yellow soft pack that is easy to identify in a crowded trauma bag or first aid kit.

• Latex-Free Construction: Manufactured without natural rubber latex to eliminate the risk of allergic reactions for both vulnerable patients and rescuers.

Ideal Use Cases

• Pediatric wards, Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), and outpatient pediatric clinics.

• Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), paramedics, and specialized pediatric transport teams.

• Schools, daycares, aquatic centers, and youth sports facilities requiring targeted pediatric first aid readiness.

• Household and vehicle emergency preparedness kits for parents and professional childcare providers.

Directions for Use

1. Open the blue and yellow soft pack, immediately don the provided protective gloves, and remove the pediatric pocket mask.

2. Ensure the disposable low-resistance one-way valve is securely attached to the mask’s center port.

3. For a Child: Place the mask over the bridge of the child’s nose and mouth. For an Infant: Adjust the circular mask over the infant’s mouth and nose, ensuring it creates a tight seal without covering the eyes.

4. Use both hands to press the soft silicone edges firmly against the face to establish a leak-free seal.

5. Perform a gentle head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver to open the pediatric airway.

6. Deliver gentle rescue breaths through the one-way valve, carefully observing the chest for an appropriate rise and fall (avoid over-ventilation).

Important Safety & Storage Information

• Storage: Keep the mask, gloves, and wipe securely sealed in the soft pack when not in use. Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and sharp objects.

• Maintenance & Disposal: The main circular silicone mask dome is reusable and should be washed and disinfected according to clinical protocols. The one-way valve, gloves, and wipe are strictly single-use items and must be safely discarded after any patient contact.

• Safety Warning: Pediatric resuscitation requires specialized clinical techniques, including lower ventilation volumes than adult CPR. Ensure all potential users are adequately trained in Pediatric Basic Life Support (BLS).
