Frequently asked questions
Is this durable resuscitator autoclavable?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare L554 is specifically designed for repeated use and can be thoroughly sterilized via autoclaving.
Key details regarding its durability and sterilization:
- Autoclavable Components: The crucial components, including the patient valve and connectors, are constructed from durable polysulfone.
- Sterilization Standard: These polysulfone parts are rated to withstand sterilization via autoclave at temperatures up to 270°F (132°C), ensuring a long operational life and effective hygiene.
- Bag Material: The main resuscitation bag is made of silicone, which is chosen to provide medical personnel with responsive tactile feedback during manual ventilation.
What components are included in the reusable kits?
The contents of the Allied Healthcare L554 Reusable Manual Resuscitator kits vary significantly based on the chosen configuration (Adult, Child, or Infant). However, comprehensive kits include components designed for durability and patient safety.
Key items commonly included are:
- Manual Resuscitator (BVM) Unit: The core unit, featuring an autoclavable polysulfone patient valve and a highly responsive silicone resuscitation bag for tactile feedback.
- Silicone Cuffed Masks: Kits include one or more appropriately sized cuffed masks (sizes vary, such as 0, 1, 2, or 5).
- Oxygen Delivery Accessories: Many configurations include an O2 supply hose and a reservoir bag for delivering high oxygen concentrations (up to 100% FiO2 with the appropriate valve).
- Pressure Relief Valve: For enhanced patient comfort and safety in child and infant configurations, an optional pop-off relief valve may be included, which activates at 45 cm H2O.
- Storage Case: The most complete configurations often come with a durable molded plastic carrying case for secure transport and storage.
What patient sizes does this resuscitator fit?
The Allied Healthcare L554 is a versatile, reusable manual resuscitator system available in three distinct configurations to accommodate different patient demographics:
- Adult: Features a large 1500 ml bag volume.
- Child: Utilizes a 760 ml bag volume.
- Infant: Comes with a 240 ml bag volume.
For enhanced patient safety, the Child and Infant models offer the option of integrating pressure relief valves. These safety valves activate at 45 cm H2O to protect against over-pressurization during manual ventilation.
What are the oxygen delivery concentrations?
The Allied Healthcare L554 resuscitator offers reliable oxygen delivery, depending on how it is configured:
- Low-Flow Oxygen Source: When connected to a standard low-flow oxygen source, the system delivers a Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) ranging from 73% to 97%.
- Maximum Oxygen Delivery: The device is capable of delivering 100% oxygen when it is coupled with an L471 bag refill valve.
Are optional relief valves available for child and infant models?
Yes, optional relief valves are available for the child and infant sizes of the Allied Healthcare L554 Reusable Manual Resuscitator.
These safety features activate at 45 cm H2O, which helps ensure appropriate pressure delivery for pediatric and infant patients.
Does the patient connection size meet standards?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare L554 features standard connections for broad compatibility. The patient connection dimensions are:
- Outside Diameter: 22 mm
- Inside Diameter: 15 mm
The unit also features a PEEP connection with a 30 mm outside diameter.
Is the resuscitator made from high-quality materials?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare L554 is constructed from durable, medical-grade materials designed for professional, repeated clinical use and sterilization. Key materials include:
- Silicone Bag: Provides essential tactile feedback, allowing clinicians to ‘feel’ the patient’s respiratory response during manual ventilation.
- Polysulfone (Patient Valve and Connectors): This robust material is autoclavable up to 270°F (132°C), which ensures long-term durability and safety through repeated sterilization cycles.
- Lexan (Intake Housing): Contributes to the overall structural resilience of the system.
This durable construction allows the device to operate reliably across a wide operating temperature range of -30°F to 125°F.
What is the patient valve dead space?
The dead space within the patient valve of the L554 Reusable Manual Resuscitator is 8 ml. This measurement does not include the volume of any connected mask.
What are the temperature ranges for the durable L554?
The Allied Healthcare L554 Reusable Manual Resuscitator is designed to operate and be stored across a wide range of temperatures, ensuring its reliability in various conditions:
- Operating Temperature: -30 to 125°F
- Storage Temperature: -40 to 160°F
Is this high-quality resuscitator autoclavable?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare L554 is a reusable manual resuscitator designed for enhanced longevity and infection control through its autoclavable components.
Key details regarding its durability:
- Autoclavable Components: The patient valve and associated connectors are constructed from polysulfone, a material chosen specifically for its resistance to high heat.
- Sterilization Temperature: These components can be safely sterilized via autoclaving at temperatures up to 270°F (132°C), ensuring reliable operation through repeated reuse cycles.
