Description
Key Features:
Airway Control: This assembly contains the ball valve mechanism that controls the manikin's airway. It's what makes the lungs inflate only when the head is correctly tilted, simulating a real person's airway.
Compatibility: The 100-2701 model is specifically designed for use with certain full-body manikins, such as the Full Body CPR/Trauma Manikin (model 100-2700) and other similar models. It is also compatible with other manikin series.
Removable Mouth/Nosepiece: The mouth/nosepiece is fixed securely on the stem of the ball valve assembly. This part is designed to be removable for cleaning and disinfection, which helps to maintain a sanitary training environment.
Durable Construction: Made from durable materials, the assembly is built to withstand repeated use and is a long-lasting component of the manikin.
Uses:
The primary use of the Ball Valve Assembly is for the maintenance and repair of compatible CPR manikins. It is essential for:
Replacing a Damaged Airway System: If the manikin's original ball valve or airway system becomes damaged or non-functional, this part provides a cost-effective way to replace it rather than buying a new manikin.
Maintaining Training Realism: A functional ball valve is critical for realistic CPR training. By controlling the airflow to the lungs, it ensures that students must perform the head tilt/chin lift maneuver correctly for rescue breaths to be effective.
Sanitation and Hygiene: The removable mouth/nosepiece allows instructors to easily clean and sanitize the manikin, preventing cross-contamination between students.
