Instant oxygen delivery system for manual resuscitators.
To help prevent the use of manual resuscitators without supplemental oxygen we developed a device that automatically starts the flow of oxygen when the resuscitators is put into use and then stops the oxygen flow when the resuscitator is returned to its assigned resting place. This instant oxygen delivery valve does not compromise oxygen flowrates from the gas source. We have used this device without problems for several months in our intensive care until.
