Indications for Use
Indicated as an accessory to provide positive end expiratory pressure breathing capabilities to manual resuscitator, therapeutic CPAP systems, ventilator circuits. Available in 19mm, 22mm and 30 mm fittings. Pressure range from 0 to 20 cm H2O
Device Story
EMS Adjustable PEEP Valve is a spring-actuated mechanical valve placed in breathing circuits to provide positive end expiratory pressure (0-20 cm H2O). Used with manual resuscitators, therapeutic CPAP systems, and ventilators; intended for single-patient use in hospital or emergency settings. Device functions by applying spring-actuated tension to regulate expiratory pressure, assisting clinicians in maintaining airway pressure. Benefits include adjustable pressure settings to meet specific patient respiratory needs.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only; comparison of design, materials, and performance specifications against predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Spring-actuated mechanical valve; adjustable pressure range 0-20 cm H2O. Materials: polycarbonate, K-resin, propionate housing; stainless steel spring. Fittings: 19mm, 22mm, 30mm. Single-patient use. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) therapy via manual resuscitators, therapeutic CPAP systems, or ventilator circuits in hospital or emergency medical service settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) breathing attachment is a device attached to a ventilator that is used to elevate pressure in a patient's lungs above atmospheric pressure at the end of exhalation.
