Instruction for use
Product Description:
Gima Manual Resuscitator is designed for use as an adjunct to artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. The resuscitator can be used to ventilate the apnoeic patient and to augment ventilation and
oxygen delivery to the spontaneously breathing patient. The designs are also different according to adult,
child and infant by using different compressing frequency. They also come with different sizes to meet all
patients’ need for oxygen.

Infant B: Vr-70mL, Compliance O.01L/cmH2O, Resistance 20cm H20/L/s
The correct ventilation frequency may vary, please follow current ventilation frequencies as recommended
by major specialist associations.
Range of delivery pressure
Adult: 6O±10cm H2O maximum (can be overridden by operator)
Child and infant: 40±5 cm H2O maximum (can be overridden by operator)
