Introduction Warning And Cautions The MR‐100™ Plus Manual Resuscitator Is designed for use as an adjunct WARNING: Do not use the MR‐100"' Plus Manual Resuscitator In toxic to artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The Resuscitator atmospheres. can be used to ventilate the apnoeic patient and to augment ventilation WARNING: Remove the oxygen reservoir and reservoir valve If and/or oxygen delivery to the spontaneously breathing patient. supplemental oxygen Is not being administered. Failure to do so will affect the refill rate and maximum frequency capabilities. TM When connected to an oxygen source, the MR‐100 Plus Manual WARNING: Do not administer supplemental oxygen in the presence of Resuscitator can also deliver supplemental oxygen with the aid of an oxygen open flames. reservoir The oxygen concentration delivered by the MR‐100 Plus WARNING: Do not use oil, grease or other hydrocarbon based TM Manual Resuscitator depends on the oxygen supply flow rate, tidal volume, substances on any part of the MR‐100 Plus Manual Resuscitator. ventilation frequency and operator technique.

Principles Of Operation 1 Principles Of Operation 2 ™ The MR‐100 Plus Manual Resuscitator consists of four major components Exhalation begins when the patient exerts positive pressure (during passive (figure 1): non rebreathing valve assembly (A), silicone bag (B), intake valve exhalation) on the patient side of the duckbill valve (F) or when the operator (C), and reservoir (D), Part D should be removed if supplemental oxygen is releases pressure from the silicone bag (8). The valve lifts directing the not to be supplied from an external gas source. patient's expiratory gases through the expiration ports(G) of the non‐ rebreathing valve (see figure 3). Figure 1. The MR100 Plus Manual Resuscitator Figure 3. lnspiration Gas is delivered to the patient by squeezing the bag (see figure 2). Positive pressure within the bag caused by its compression closes the intake valve (E) The silicone bag refills for the next breath during patient exhalation. located at the base of the bag. This causes the duckbill valve (F) to close off Negative pressure within the bag (caused by the expansion of the the expiration ports(G) of the non‐rebreathing assembly. Further compressed bag) opens the intake valve (E), allowing gas to enter the bag compression of the bag forces gas through duckbill valve to the patient. If either from the atmosphere or from the reservoir (D). supplemental gas is used, oxygen is delivered to the reservoir (D) during compression of the silicone bag. The reservoir should be used whenever supplemental oxygen Is delivered. (Supplemental oxygen may be administered without using the reservoir but ...

Principles Of Operation 3 Operating Instruction The Infant and Child models of the MR‐100™ Plus Manual Resuscitator are Position victim face up. fitted with pressure relief valves (see figure 4). These valves open when the pressure is in excess of 40±5cmH 0. Clear foreign objects out of patient's mouth and throat. Figure 4. Pressure Relieve Valve. Insert oropharyngeal airway (if available), in Should higher inspiratory pressure be required, the pressure relief valve accordance with the may be overridden by placing thumb over the valve as shown in figure 5. It manufacturer's Is also possible to lock the pressure relief valve in this position with Lock ...
