The Lifeguard Mouth to Mask Resuscitator is designed specifically for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to assist in delivering oxygen to a patient during emergency resuscitation. It acts as a barrier between the rescuer’s mouth and the patient’s airway, reducing the risk of cross-contamination while providing manual ventilation. It is not intended for continuous mechanical ventilation but is ideal for pre-hospital or in-hospital emergency scenarios where quick, manual ventilation support is required.
Is the Lifeguard Mouth to Mask Resuscitator sterile?
No, the Lifeguard Mouth to Mask Resuscitator is supplied as a non-sterile single-use device. Since it is intended for emergency resuscitation, sterility is not required for its intended use, but proper hand hygiene and barrier precautions (e.g., gloves) should still be followed by the rescuer to minimize infection risk.
How is the Lifeguard Mouth to Mask Resuscitator supplied?
The device is supplied as a single-use item, meaning each unit is intended for one-time use only before disposal. This ensures hygiene and safety in emergency resuscitation scenarios. It is packaged individually for immediate access in critical situations.
What regulatory approval does the Lifeguard Mouth to Mask Resuscitator hold?
The Lifeguard Mouth to Mask Resuscitator has received FDA 510(k) clearance (K881086), confirming it is substantially equivalent to a predicate device under FDA’s classification system.

Can the Lifeguard Mouth to Mask Resuscitator be reused?
