Device description
The VAR® device is a unique single-patient-use, disposable resuscitator. It provides hands-free ventilator support via a mask or endotracheal tube using a continuous gas flow source. The VAR® device can be operated on a compressor, oxygen or compressed air. Since it does not require the use of electricity or batteries, it is an ideal backup ventilator for the management of mass casualty incidents, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, major power outages and other extraordinary emergencies. An additional advantage of the VAR® device is that it does not interfere with MRI and CT scans.
A non-sterile device designed to provide or assist ventilation in a patient who is apnoeic or exhibits inadequate respiration through automatic pneumatic-driven pressure cycle functions. It is connected to a source of compressed oxygen (O2) and, if not entrained, medical air via oxygen/air terminal units or gas cylinder(s). It typically includes gas supply tubing, a gas control modulator, gas connector(s), safety valves, and a flex connector to connect to a face mask or endotracheal (ET) tube. It is used in ambulances, intensive care units (ICU), during internal patient transfer, accident and emergency (A&E), and mass casualty incidents (MCI). This is a single-use device.
