  • Publication number: 20220193352
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrically operable resuscitation device comprising a piston/cylinder assembly including a rigid cylinder including at least one gas inlet and at least one gas outlet, a piston to travel in said cylinder, and at least one valve, the or each valve configured to allow gas to be displaced into said cylinder through said at least one gas inlet during at least one of a first stroke direction and second stroke direction of said piston in said cylinder, and for allowing gas to displaced through said at least one gas outlet during an opposite of said at least one of the first stroke direction and second stroke direction of said piston in said cylinder; a motor, selected from one of a stepper motor and feedback motor and stepper motor with feedback and linear motor, operatively connected to said piston to move said piston in said cylinder; a patient interface in ducted fluid connection with said piston/cylinder assembly to receive gas via said at least one gas outlet and to delive

  • Patent number: 11285281
    Abstract: A resuscitation device is disclosed that includes a pump having a cylinder with a gas inlet and a gas outlet, a piston to travel in the cylinder, and a valve. The valve is configured to allow gas to be displaced into the cylinder through the gas inlet during a first stroke direction and second stroke direction of the piston in the cylinder, and for allowing gas to be displaced through the gas outlet during an opposite of the first stroke direction and second stroke direction of the piston in the cylinder; a motor, selected from one of a stepper motor, a feedback motor, a stepper motor with feedback, and a linear motor, connected to the piston to move the piston in the cylinder; and a patient interface in fluid connection with the pump to receive gas via the gas outlet and to deliver the gas to a patient.

  • Publication number: 20140144447
    Abstract: A conduit operative or to be operative between a patient interface and both (a) a tidal volume gas delivery device that can deliver controlled tidal volume gasses to a patient for the purposes of resuscitation and (b) a CPAP device for delivery of CPAP to the patient. The conduit comprises a primary lumen having an inlet operatively connectable with said tidal volume gas delivery device. Also provides is a secondary lumen having an inlet operatively connectable with the CPAP device. A manifold, via respective outlets of the primary and secondary lumens and a manifold outlet, allows fluid communication to be established between a patient interface and both the CPAP device and the tidal volume gas delivery device.
