Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator Pediatric Ventilation Bag 500mL Each (860150)

When responding to pediatric respiratory emergencies, having equipment tailored to the patient’s specific anatomical needs is vital. The Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator Pediatric Ventilation Bag 500mL Each (860150) provides healthcare professionals with a dependable, high-performance solution for manual ventilation. As a crucial component of the renowned Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator system, this 500mL bag ensures precise air delivery, empowering clinicians to provide life-saving respiratory support to children with confidence and absolute control.

Why Choose This Product?

Pediatric lungs require careful volume management to avoid injury while ensuring proper oxygenation. Standard adult bags pose a significant risk of over-inflation when used on smaller patients. This 500mL pediatric ventilation bag is meticulously calibrated for children, heavily mitigating the risk of barotrauma. Crafted from exceptional medical-grade silicone, it offers unparalleled tactile feedback, allowing providers to “feel” the patient’s airway resistance and lung compliance with every squeeze. Furthermore, its reusable and autoclavable nature makes it a highly sustainable and cost-effective choice for modern hospitals, clinics, and EMS agencies.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision 500mL Capacity: Specifically designed to deliver the ideal tidal volume for pediatric patients, safeguarding delicate lung tissues against over-inflation.

• Superior Tactile Feel: Highly responsive silicone material allows the rescuer to accurately monitor airway resistance and lung compliance continuously.

• Seamless Integration: Engineered as an exact-fit replacement or backup bag for the Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator pediatric system, ensuring zero compatibility issues.

• Translucent Silicone: The semi-transparent design allows for clear visual inspection of the bag’s interior to ensure it is free from fluids or contaminants before and during active use.

• Autoclavable & Reusable: Built to withstand repeated high-temperature sterilization cycles, maximizing the product’s lifespan and supporting rigorous hospital infection control standards.

Ideal Use Cases

• Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) and pediatric emergency departments.

• Emergency Medical Services (EMS), paramedics, and specialized pediatric transport teams.

• Outpatient clinics, surgical centers, and post-operative recovery rooms treating children.

• As a direct, high-quality replacement part for maintaining existing Laerdal pediatric resuscitation kits.

Directions for Use

1. Ensure the 500mL silicone bag has been properly sterilized and visually inspected for any signs of wear or damage before assembly.

2. Securely attach the bag to the Laerdal patient valve and intake valve assemblies, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal.

3. Connect the intake valve to a supplemental oxygen source and oxygen reservoir bag, if clinically indicated.

4. Position an appropriately sized pediatric resuscitation mask securely over the child’s nose and mouth.

5. Compress the bag smoothly to deliver rescue breaths, closely monitoring chest rise and adjusting pressure based on tactile feedback and established pediatric CPR guidelines.

Important Safety & Storage Information

• Storage: Store the bag (fully assembled or disassembled) in a clean, dry environment at normal room temperature. Keep away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and sharp objects.

• Maintenance: This silicone ventilation bag is a reusable medical device. It must be thoroughly disassembled, cleaned, and sterilized (e.g., autoclaved) after every patient use, strictly following Laerdal’s reprocessing instructions and your facility’s infection control protocols.

• Safety Warning: Manual pediatric resuscitation should only be performed by healthcare personnel formally trained in pediatric CPR and advanced airway management. Always monitor ventilation pressure carefully to prevent pediatric barotrauma.
