Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a great tool for airway management in pre-hospital settings. When a patient is unable to breathe, a CPAP system is critical in a life-saving emergency and resuscitation. CPAP machines are becoming increasingly popular in EMS settings as a less invasive way to supply oxygen that can also delay the need for invasive intubation — or eliminate the need altogether. The Flow-Safe II Disposable CPAP System makes this even easier.
Mercury Medical’s Flow-Safe II EZ
CPAP machines are used in a variety of life-saving emergencies when a patient is in respiratory distress. CPAP can help people with fluid in their lungs (pulmonary edema), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), acute bronchospasms, and severe asthma attacks. It is also used to provide oxygen to patients in emergency situations who have experienced toxic inhalation, drowning, flail chest, lung infections, and more.
A disposable CPAP system makes it easy to treat patients quickly and avoid biohazards.
Benefits of the Flow-Safe II Disposable CPAP System
This disposable CPAP system is an alternative to the traditional CPAP machine. It utilizes a mask placed over the nose and is held in place with straps around the head.
The disposable CPAP system has many benefits. It’s portable for increased mobility and easier travel and can also be used with other types of masks to ensure care for every type of patient, even pediatric.
Less Cleaning
Disposable parts mean less maintenance and cleaning. Eliminate the need to disinfect while eliminating the chance of biohazard contact from one patient to another (or the healthcare provider).
Easy Set-Up
In life-saving emergencies, there is no time to waste setting up complicated or bulky machines. The disposable CPAP system allows for a quicker, easier set-up to immediately treat patients with obscured airways.
About the Flow-Safe II Disposable CPAP System
The Flow-Safe II Disposable CPAP System boasts 50% less oxygen consumption than the original Flow-Safe. Less oxygen consumption allows the system to provide critical airway management for longer. This is especially beneficial in emergency and pre-hospital settings where additional oxygen supplies may be limited.
Despite the conservation of oxygen, the Flow-Safe II EZ maintains high FiO2 delivery, which is a major advantage for long patient transport. Increasing flow may be necessary when activating the integrated nebulizer.
Built-In Manometer and Pressure Relief Valve
Only the Flow-Safe II EZ System features a built-in manometer for verified CPAP pressure readings. No assembly of separate apparatus or adapter is needed. The pressure relief valve automatically adjusts to avoid excess pressure.
Advanced Mask Design
The Flow-Safe II EZ mask is lighter and easier to handle with a design to form a better anatomical seal. The elastic head harness is easy to place with velcro straps that easily adjust for patient comfort.
Other benefits:
-
- Includes quick-connect clips
- Straight rotating port
- Soft forehead padding easily adjusts reducing pressure on the nose
- Accepts standard CO2 sampling port
Designed for providing efficient care, the Flow-Safe II Disposable CPAP is designed to conserve oxygen while providing high FiO2 delivery to the patient. This kit includes a Deluxe Mask with ports and an EZflow MAX for continuous nebulization.
EZflow MAX Nebulizer
Our Flow-Safe II Disposable CPAP Kit includes an EZflow Max Nebulizer. This continuous nebulizer provides patients several hours of medication delivery.
The EZflow MAX features a small, yet extremely efficient small volume reservoir. This attaches to the aerosol mask included, eliminating any need for pole brackets or tubing. With an EZflow MAX, you can administer medication continuously for up to two hours with the nebulizer while also reducing rainout and inadequate dosing.
Oxygen Conservation Without Compromise
With its conservation of oxygen, the Flow-Safe II is perfect for long patient transport where resources are limited. The device can also be utilized with standard flowmeters. That, coupled with the continuous nebulizer included, ensures that you can provide extended patient care for long transport without compromise. This is ideal in EMS and pre-hospital settings.
Made To Be Disposable
The Flow-Safe II CPAP is made to be disposable after use, allowing clinicians an efficient method of executing CPAP procedures while preventing cross-contamination.
The Flow-Safe II CPAP System provides an excellent solution for long transports with its EZflow MAX Nebulizer and oxygen conservation methods. Order your Flow-Safe II Disposable CPAP EZ flow Kit today with Penn Care, a leading supplier for healthcare products and emergency care.
Parts of the CPAP System
A disposable CPAP has fewer parts than the original machine but works just as well. The three main parts of the CPAP system are the face mask, the tube and the machine. The four options for the mask are full face, nasal pillow, nasal cradle and oral.
The mask covers the nose and mouth allowing the patient to breathe normally while providing positive air pressure. The tube acts as an extension of the mouth or nose by connecting the mask to the machine, and the machine helps generate the mildly pressurized air that will help keep airways open.
Size Options
At Penn Care, the Flow-Safe II Disposable CPAP comes in three different size options:
- Child Deluxe Mask
- Large Adult Deluxe Mask
- Small Adult Deluxe Mask
