Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator Preterm Ventilation Bag 240mL Each (850150)

When responding to neonatal emergencies, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. The Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator Preterm Ventilation Bag 240mL Each (850150) provides healthcare professionals with an indispensable tool for safe and effective preterm airway management. As a direct replacement or spare component for your existing Laerdal resuscitator system, this high-quality 240mL bag ensures that your pediatric crash carts and delivery rooms are always fully equipped to deliver life-saving respiratory support to your most vulnerable patients.

Why Choose This Product?

Premature infants possess extremely delicate lungs that require exact tidal volumes to prevent barotrauma while ensuring adequate oxygenation. This Laerdal ventilation bag is perfectly calibrated at a 240mL capacity to meet these rigorous clinical demands. Manufactured from high-quality, translucent silicone, it offers clinicians exceptional tactile feedback—allowing you to accurately feel the patient’s lung compliance with every squeeze. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability and autoclavability, making it a cost-effective, high-performance addition to any critical care environment.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimized 240mL Capacity: Specifically designed to deliver the precise, low-volume breaths required for preterm infants, heavily mitigating the risk of lung injury.

• High-Quality Silicone: Provides excellent bag recoil and unparalleled tactile feel, empowering the provider to maintain safe, controlled ventilations.

• System Compatibility: Custom-designed for seamless, leak-free assembly with the Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator framework.

• Translucent Design: Allows clinicians to easily inspect the interior of the bag for cleanliness, ensuring no fluids or contaminants are present before or during active use.

• Autoclavable Durability: Highly durable and capable of withstanding repeated sterilization cycles, promoting rigorous infection control while maximizing the product’s lifespan.

Ideal Use Cases

• Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) and special care nurseries managing preterm infants.

• Hospital delivery rooms and labor wards for immediate post-birth resuscitation.

• Pediatric emergency departments and dedicated neonatal transport teams.

• As a reliable, exact-fit replacement component for standard Laerdal Silicone Resuscitator kits.

Directions for Use

1. Prior to assembly, ensure the ventilation bag is properly cleaned, sterilized, and visually inspected for any signs of wear or damage.

2. Securely attach the 240mL preterm ventilation bag to the Laerdal patient valve and intake valve components, ensuring a tight, leak-proof seal.

3. Connect the system to a supplemental oxygen source and oxygen reservoir if clinically indicated.

4. Position an appropriately sized neonatal resuscitation mask over the infant’s nose and mouth.

5. Gently squeeze the bag to deliver breaths, closely monitoring the infant’s chest rise and adjusting your pressure based on tactile feedback and established neonatal resuscitation guidelines.

Important Safety & Storage Information

• Storage: Store the bag (either fully assembled or disassembled) in a clean, dry environment at normal room temperature. Protect it from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and harsh chemicals.

• Maintenance: This silicone bag is reusable. It must be thoroughly disassembled, cleaned, and sterilized (e.g., autoclaved) after every patient use, strictly adhering to Laerdal’s official reprocessing guidelines and your facility’s infection control protocols.

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