- Patient Connection: Measures 22 mm outside diameter and 15 mm inside diameter.
- PEEP Connection: Measures 30 mm outside diameter.
What is the oxygen delivery range (FiO2)?
The Allied Healthcare L238 Resuscitator is designed for high oxygen delivery. It provides a Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) concentration ranging from 73% to 97%.
This high concentration is achieved when the manual resuscitator is connected to an external oxygen source, often utilizing the Oxygen Enrichment Assembly included in some package configurations.
Does the Tru-Fit Mask ensure a secure fit?
Yes, the Tru-Fit Mask is a specialized component of the Allied Healthcare L238 Reusable Manual Resuscitator designed to achieve an optimal seal.
- The mask is engineered to mold precisely to the patient’s facial contours.
- This conforming shape ensures a reliable and secure fit, which is crucial for effective ventilation and minimizing air leakage.
- Furthermore, the mask material is durable and maintains its original shape even after repeated autoclave sterilization cycles.
Can the resuscitator be enhanced with accessories?
Yes, the L238 Resuscitator can be enhanced with optional accessories to expand its functionality, including:
- Oxygen Enrichment Assembly (#L003482): Necessary for maximizing the delivered FiO2 concentration (which ranges from 73% to 97%).
- Disposable PEEP Valve with Adapter (#LPEEP): Allows for the application of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure.
- Replacement Carry Case (#L040081): Available for convenient storage and transportation.
Does the silicone bag offer tactile respiratory feedback?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare L238 features a silicone rubber resuscitation bag specifically designed to provide tactile feedback.
