Frequently asked questions
What does this pressure manometer monitor?
The Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer is specifically designed to monitor a patient’s airway pressure during ventilation procedures, such as manual resuscitation or CPAP therapy. Its intended use is to provide immediate and accurate feedback to clinicians.
Key features related to its function include:
- Safe Monitoring: It helps ensure ventilation pressures remain within safe therapeutic limits, measuring a range from 0 to 60 cmH2O.
- Color-Coded Scale: The device features a clear, color-coded scale (green, yellow, red zones) to provide enhanced visual support during use.
- High Compatibility: It is designed to work effectively with various equipment, including Ambu resuscitators (like SPUR II), hyperinflation bags, and CPAP circuits.
- Single-Use Design: Being a disposable, single-patient-use accessory minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.
How many manometers are in each box?
Each box contains 20 Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometers, providing a convenient supply for single-patient use.
Is the Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, the Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer is PVC-free and made from SEBS material, meaning it does not contain natural rubber latex. This makes it safe for patients with latex allergies.
What pressure range can be measured using this manometer?
The Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer can measure pressure within the range of 0 to 60 cmH2O.
Does it provide accurate pressure readings?
Yes, the Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer provides accurate pressure readings across its measuring range.
Its accuracy specifications are:
- +/- 2 cm H2O (hPa) at 7.5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 H2O (hPa)
- +/- 3 cm H2O (hPa) at 40 H2O (hPa)
- +/- 5 cm H2O (hPa) at 60 H2O (hPa)
What are the operating and storage temperature ranges for the manometer?
The operating temperature range for the manometer is -18°C to 50°C, and the storage temperature range is -40°C to 60°C.
Is this single-use design safe against cross-infection?
Yes, the Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer is specifically designed for single-patient use. This critical design choice maximizes patient safety by:
- Minimizing the risk of cross-infections between patients.
- Ensuring reliable respiratory monitoring with a factory-new device for every procedure.
What devices is the Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer compatible with?
The manometer is compatible with Ambu resuscitators (such as the SPUR II), other resuscitators, hyperinflation bags, CPAP masks, and circuits.
How does the color-coded scale enhance the use of the manometer?
The color-coded scale provides enhanced visual support during ventilation, making it easier to monitor the patient’s airway pressure and ensure it remains within safe limits. Green indicates lower values, transitioning to yellow and then red for higher pressure ranges.
What materials is this manometer made from?
The Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer is designed to be PVC-free and Natural Rubber Latex-free, making it an ideal choice for patients with sensitivities. The device utilizes the following materials for its internal and external components:
- Housing and Connector: SEBS (Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene)
- Spring: CuSn
- Piston: PP
- Membrane: Silicone
- Housing: SB
