This document specifies requirements for user-powered resuscitators intended for use with all age groups and which are intended to provide lung ventilation to patients whose breathing is inadequate. User- powered resuscitators are designated according to ideal body mass range. NOTE 1 – Patients being treated with a resuscitator can be ventilator-dependent. Example user-powered resuscitators include: ⎯ self-inflating bag resuscitators intended to be squeezed by the user’s hand and refilled by elastic recoil; and NOTE 2 – Self-inflating bag resuscitators are generally transit-operable. ⎯ flow-inflating bag resuscitators intended to be squeezed by the user’s hand and refilled by a flow from a medical gas source. This document is also applicable to those accessories that are intended for use with resuscitators where the characteristics of those accessories can affect the safety of the user-powered resuscitator. Examples of such accessories include such as masks, PEEP valves, capnometric indicators, manometers, metronomes, flow restrictors, filters, gas refill valves, oxygen gas mixers, connectors, point-of-use packaging, electronic feedback devices, electronic sensors and transmission of data to other equipment.
