Intended Use

The BigEasy™ Non-Rebreathing Valve is intended to assist in providing immediate life support (mouth to mask ventilation) to health emergency victims requiring oxygen support or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rescue techniques.

Device Story

Resuscitation valve for mouth-to-mask ventilation; facilitates delivery of expired air from rescuer to patient. Input: rescuer's expired air; supplemental oxygen via integrated port. Operation: mechanical; silicone inspiratory one-way valve opens during rescuer exhalation; rigid plastic expiratory one-way valve seals vent holes during delivery and opens during patient exhalation to allow passive venting. Used in hospitals and field emergency settings by trained rescuers. Output: delivered air/oxygen mixture to patient airway. Benefits: provides life support while protecting rescuer from patient backflow; integrated oxygen port eliminates need for separate adapters. Single-patient use.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization per ISO 10993-1), resistance to inhalation/exhalation, oxygen concentration delivery, environmental stress, and mechanical integrity (drop tests). All tests met acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Thermoplastic, Silicone, TPR. Principle: Mechanical one-way valve system (silicone inspiratory, rigid plastic expiratory). Dimensions: 3.1 x 1.7 x 1.7 inches. Connectors: 22mm ID inlet, 22mm OD/15mm ID outlet. Standards: ISO 13544-2, ISO 5356-1, BS EN ISO 10651-4, ISO 10993-1. Non-sterile, single-patient use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric patients greater than 18 months of age requiring immediate life support, oxygen support, or CPR rescue techniques.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

It has fittings on the patient end that will adapt to standard masks (22mm ID) or endotracheal tubes (15mm OD) used for resuscitation. It provides a path for a rescuer to blow expired air into a mask or endotracheal tube through a silicone valve in the device and has a rigid one-way valve that directs exhaled air from the patient away from the {4}------------------------------------------------ rescuer. It also incorporates an oxygen inlet port on the rescuer's side of the valve for the adding of supplemental oxygen without requiring a separate adapter. ## Predicate Device The design of the BigEasy non-rebreathing valve is substantially equivalent to the Respironics Rescue Valve (K8337480) and Non-Rebreathing Valve (K842693). The predicate devices are resuscitation valves designed for resuscitation using expired air for ventilation. They all have fittings on the patient end that will adapt to standard masks (22mm ID) or endotracheal tubes (15mm OD) used for resuscitation. They all provide a path for a rescuer to blow expired air into a mask or endotracheal tube through a silicone valve in the device and have a rigid one-way valve that directs exhaled air from the patient away from the rescuer. The only difference between the predicate device and the BigEasy non-rebreathing valve is that the predicate devices have an accessory fitting for adding oxygen during use while the BigEasy non-breathing valve has the oxygen inlet port molded into the valve body. # Description of Operation The BigEasy non-breathing valve consists of a plastic body housing a silicone inspiratory oneway valve and a rigid plastic expiratory one-way valve. Rescuers using the BigEasy fill their lungs with room air and then seal their mouth/lips on the BigEasy and blow the air from their lungs into the lungs of the patient requiring resuscitation. When the rescuer blows into the device, the rigid plastic valve moves forward toward the patient and seals the expiratory vent holes. A silicone one-way in the rigid plastic valve plate opens and allows the air from the rescuer to be delivered to the patient. The pressure on the rescuer side of the plastic plate valve is equal or greater than the pressure inside the patient's airways, so the plastic exhalation valve remains closed. When the rescuer stops exhaling into the device, the silicone valve closes, preventing a backflow of air from the patient flowing to the rescuer. The rigid plastic valve now lifts off the expiratory vent hole because the pressure inside the patient's airways are greater than atmospheric pressure. The patient can then passively exhale through the vent holes. ## Indications for Use: The BigEasy™ Non-Rebreathing Valve is intended to assist in providing immediate life support (mouth to mask ventilation) to health emergency victims requiring oxygen support or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rescue techniques. | Specifications | Dimensions: 3.1 x 1.7 x 1.7 inches | |----------------|------------------------------------------------| | | Inlet Connector: Standard 22mm ID | | | Outlet Connector: Standard 22mm OD/15mm ID | | | Oxygen Port: Standard for respiratory fittings | | | Inspiratory Resistance: 1.9 cm H2O at 50 LPM | | | Expiratory Resistance: 0.25 cm H2O at 50 LPM | | | Operating Temperature: -18°C to 50°C | | | Storage Temperature: -40°C to 60°C | | | Storage Relative Humidity: 10% to 95% | {5}------------------------------------------------ | Intended Use | The BigEasy™ Non-Rebreathing Valve is intended<br>to assist in providing immediate life support (mouth<br>to mask ventilation) to health emergency victims<br>requiring oxygen support or cardiopulmonary<br>resuscitation (CPR) rescue techniques. | |--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| #### Technology Characteristics Summary Based on the design, intended use, principle of operation, technological characteristics, Dassed on the design, theirled ass, principle of operation, toomstributions, Inc.
