Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Valve, PEEP is a breathing attachment designed to provide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in respiratory support systems. It functions as a one-way valve to maintain a constant pressure in the patient’s lungs at the end of exhalation, improving oxygenation and ventilation during mechanical ventilation or spontaneous breathing.
This device is supplied as a single-use attachment and is intended for use in anesthesia and critical care settings. It is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA regulations and has received a 510(k) clearance (K760230) for substantial equivalence. The valve is non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use, adhering to standard medical device preparation protocols.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What clinical settings is the Valve, PEEP intended for, and how does it function in those environments?
The Valve, PEEP is designed specifically for use in anesthesia and critical care settings, where patients require respiratory support. It functions as a one-way breathing attachment to deliver positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation or spontaneous breathing. By maintaining a constant pressure in the lungs at the end of exhalation, it helps improve oxygenation and ventilation, which is critical for patients with compromised lung function, such as those in ICU or undergoing surgical procedures requiring anesthesia.
Is the Valve, PEEP intended for single-use or can it be reused after sterilization?
The Valve, PEEP is supplied as a single-use attachment, but it is non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use. While it is technically reusable after proper sterilization, the manufacturer does not explicitly endorse reuse beyond the initial single-use scenario. Clinicians should follow standard medical device preparation protocols for sterilization if reusing, ensuring compliance with infection control guidelines.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Valve, PEEP, and how does this affect its use?
The Valve, PEEP received FDA 510(k) clearance (K760230) under the Traditional 510(k) pathway, demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This clearance confirms it meets FDA standards for safety and effectiveness as a Class II medical device under the Anesthesiology specialty. Clinicians can rely on this clearance to ensure the device adheres to regulatory requirements for use in anesthesia and critical care settings.
Are there different sizes or models of the Valve, PEEP, and how would I identify the correct one for my patient?
The Valve, PEEP is listed under OpenFDA with multiple registration numbers (e.g., 3013557562, 3006061749, etc.), which may correspond to variations in size or configuration. However, the provided data does not specify distinct sizes or models beyond its core function as a PEEP attachment. To ensure compatibility, verify the product code (BYE) and consult manufacturer documentation or your facility’s inventory system to confirm the correct fit for your respiratory support system and patient needs.
