Questions

AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What clinical environments is the 502 Resuscitatory Inhalator Valve designed for use in?

    The 502 Resuscitatory Inhalator Valve is specifically intended for single-use in emergency settings where immediate ventilatory support is required. This includes clinical environments like emergency rooms, operating rooms, and pre-hospital scenarios, such as ambulances or first-responder deployments, where rapid resuscitation is critical.

  • Is the 502 Resuscitatory Inhalator Valve reusable, and if not, what does that mean for its maintenance?

    No, the 502 Resuscitatory Inhalator Valve is designed for single-use only, meaning it is not meant to be cleaned, sterilized, or reused after a single procedure. This eliminates the need for maintenance or reprocessing, ensuring a sterile and reliable device for each emergency use.

  • How is the device regulated, and what does its FDA clearance status imply for buyers?

    The 502 Resuscitatory Inhalator Valve holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the classification of Class II medical devices, governed by 21 CFR 868.5925 and the BTL product code. This clearance indicates that the device has been deemed substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, meaning it meets established safety and performance standards for powered emergency ventilators. Buyers can rely on this regulatory pathway as assurance of its compliance with U.S. medical device regulations.

  • What types of airway interfaces can the 502 Resuscitatory Inhalator Valve be used with?

    The device is designed to deliver emergency respiratory support via two primary interfaces: a face mask or an airway tube. This flexibility allows clinicians to adapt the valve to different patient needs, whether administering ventilation directly through a mask or via an established airway.

  • How should the 502 Resuscitatory Inhalator Valve be stored, given its single-use nature?

    Since the device is intended for single-use only, it should be stored in its original packaging in a clean, dry environment protected from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures the device remains uncontaminated and ready for immediate use in emergency scenarios.
