Instructions For Use

NeoPEEP®
 	Single Patient Use 
Neonatal Resuscitation Circuit
 Pre use Procedure  

•	Ensure the NeoPEEP® neonatal resuscitation circuit is complete and undamaged.
•	Set up the resuscitation unit as per the manufacturer’s guidelines, and connect NeoPEEP® Circuit to patient outlet port (A).
•	Adjust gas supply (oxygen or blended oxygen/air) to required flow rate as defined by the hospital’s protocol for resuscitation.
•	Occlude the patient opening of the ‘T-Piece’ (B) and the PEEP valve outlet (C) to create an air tight seal. 
•	Adjust the PIP* pressure on the resuscitation device to the required pressure.
•	Uncover the PEEP valve outlet (C). Adjust PEEP* setting by adjusting the PEEP control cap (D) on the NeoPEEP® Circuit until the reading on the resuscitation device pressure gauge indicates that the correct PEEP, as defined by the hospital’s protocol for resuscitation, has been achieved.

*Note: 	PIP = Peak Inspiratory Pressure   
PEEP = Positive End Expiratory Pressure
  Resuscitation
•	If required, connect the NeoPEEP® Circuit to appropriate size ET tube or Laryngeal Mask. If a mask is to be used, connect the NeoPEEP® Circuit to a neonatal resuscitation mask of an appropriate size for the patient.
•	Place the mask over the patient’s airway as per resuscitation training guidelines, ensuring a good seal around the airway.
•	Resuscitate by occluding the PEEP valve outlet (C) with thumb to allow inspiration. 
•	Uncover the PEEP valve outlet (C) to allow expiration. 
•	If necessary adjust the PEEP setting by turning the PEEP control cap (D) accordingly 
•	Repeat steps for inspiration and expiration as necessary, following the hospital protocol for resuscitation.
