GENERIC NAME: ANAESTHESIA FACEMASK, REUSABLE

INTENDED USE A flexible, form-shaped device designed to be placed over a patient’s nose and/or mouth to direct an aesthetic gas to the upper airway. It is intended to be worn by the patient/child to cover the nose and mouth to provide a barrier for the respiratory tract for
microorganisms and particulate materials. It may be stabilized with a head strap. It is constructed of nonwoven materials such as conductive or non-conductive rubber, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or other sterilizable materials that produce a soft, flexible cover to create an airtight seal against the patient’s face. It typically includes a 15 mm connector (pediatric), and is available in a range of sizes. This device is sometimes used in association with a manual resuscitator. It is reusable.
