Frequently asked questions
Is the valve compatible with various airways?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Elder Demand/Resuscitator Valve is designed for high versatility and reliable 100% oxygen delivery in emergency settings, compliant with AHA guidelines.
It is compatible with a wide range of standard patient interfaces, including:
- Masks
- Endotracheal tubes
- Tracheotomy tubes
- Esophageal airways
Its standardized outlet facilitates easy integration with existing equipment, featuring dimensions of 22 mm outside diameter x 15 mm inside diameter.
Is the valve AHA guideline compliant?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Elder Demand/Resuscitator Valve is specifically engineered to comply with AHA (American Heart Association) guidelines.
This compliance ensures the device meets the established medical requirements for delivering 100% oxygen during emergency resuscitation, making it appropriate for use with victims of heart attack and smoke inhalation.
What are the precise flow rate specifications?
The Allied Healthcare Elder Demand/Resuscitator Valve is engineered for precise 100% oxygen delivery, offering two primary flow rate modes that ensure compliance with AHA guidelines.
Flow Rate Specifications
| Supply Pressure | Mode | Flow Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 50 psig (344 kPa) | Demand Mode (Restricted) | 0 - 40 lpm |
| 50 psig (344 kPa) | Resuscitation Mode (Restricted) | Constant 40 lpm |
| 40 psig (275 kPa) | Demand Mode (High Flow) | 0 - 160 lpm |
| 40 psig (275 kPa) | Resuscitation Mode (High Flow) | Constant 160 lpm |
Safety and Pressure Regulation
To prevent lung over-inflation, the device incorporates key pressure controls:
- Delivery Pressure: The valve regulates the supply pressure (e.g., 50 psig) down to a safe delivery pressure of 60 plus or minus 5 cm H₂O.
- Gastric Inflation Protection: A constant flow rate of 40 lpm is maintained specifically for anti-gastric inflation during resuscitation.
- Crack Pressure: The valve’s crack pressure is -1.0 in. H₂O (-2.54 cm H₂O).
What is the regulated oxygen delivery pressure?
The Elder Demand/Resuscitator Valve is specifically engineered to safely regulate the high incoming supply pressure (50 psig) down to a precise delivery level, preventing lung over-inflation during resuscitation.
The standard regulated oxygen delivery pressure is:
- 60 +/- 5 cm H₂O (centimeters of water)
What robust materials ensure the valve's durability?
The valve is engineered for durability in harsh environments, utilizing high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials throughout its construction. This ensures reliability and longevity, adhering to its designation as an emergency medical device.
Key materials include:
- Moving and Adjusting Parts: Constructed from robust stainless steel.
- Housings and Plastic Components: Utilize high-grade polymers such as Valox, polyester, and polysulfone.
- Fasteners: Made of steel, brass, and aluminum, all plated for superior corrosion resistance.
- Rubber Parts: Consist of silicone (excluding the oxygen hose).
The valve also incorporates a 2-micron sintered stainless steel filter for enhanced oxygen source cleanliness.
Is the valve easy to clean and maintain?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Elder Demand/Resuscitator Valve is engineered for simple cleaning and efficient, long-term maintenance.
Key features supporting ease of maintenance and durability include:
- Simple Disassembly: The unit is designed for easy disassembly, which facilitates thorough cleaning and sanitation.
- Obstruction Clearing: Valve obstructions can be cleared during active resuscitation with minimal interruption to the oxygen airflow, ensuring continuous patient care.
- Durable Construction: The valve features corrosion-resistant materials, including stainless steel for moving parts and plated fasteners (steel, brass, and aluminum), built to ensure longevity even in demanding environments.
What is the operating temperature range?
The Allied Healthcare Demand/Resuscitator Valve is engineered for reliable use in a broad range of environmental conditions.
The official operating temperature range is -30°F to 125°F (-34.4°C to 51.7°C). This robust range helps ensure the device maintains functionality even in extreme weather or demanding emergency settings.
What is the safe storage temperature range?
The storage temperature range for the valve is -40 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 71.1 degrees Celsius).
Does the valve use a standard inlet fitting?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Elder Demand/Resuscitator Valve is designed to integrate easily by utilizing a standard 1/8” NPT female inlet fitting. This allows for compatibility with portable, pressure-regulated cylinders or centralized oxygen sources.
How does the valve prevent lung over-inflation?
The Allied Healthcare Elder Demand/Resuscitator Valve is engineered with a sophisticated internal pressure regulation system to actively prevent pulmonary over-inflation (barotrauma). This crucial safety feature ensures compliance with AHA guidelines.
The mechanism works by:
- Regulating Supply: The valve draws from the high input oxygen supply pressure (typically 50 psig).
- Limiting Output: It automatically reduces and strictly limits the maximum oxygen delivery pressure to a safe level of 60 ± 5 cm H₂O.
This controlled delivery pressure is essential for patient safety, mitigating the risk of lung damage while providing controlled oxygen flow.
