Pulmonary resuscitator, manual, reusable

A manual pulmonary resuscitator is a reusable, hand-cranked device used to deliver or assist breathing in patients who are not breathing adequately or have stopped breathing. It compresses ambient air (or oxygen-enriched air) into a flexible chamber, then delivers it via tubing to a mask or tracheal tube, ensuring critical oxygenation during emergencies like cardiac arrest or respiratory failure.

These devices are commonly found in emergency settings, including ambulances, ICUs, and hospitals, where they must meet strict durability and reliability standards. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but reusable medical devices like these often require compliance with cleaning, sterilization, and maintenance protocols to ensure patient safety and device longevity.
