Description

STAT-Check Resuscitation Bag Manual Emergency Resuscitation Bag with Carbon dioxide gas analyzer Intended for use in various clinical situations to provide respiratory support in the presence of reversible apnea commonly associated with respiratory arrest. The device should only be used by personnel trained in CPR procedures. The ACE/STAT-Check II is intended for use as an adjunct assessment tool for verification of successful ventilation / intubation in patients > 2.2 kilograms (5lbs.).

Reason

Stat-check CO2 indicators are non-functional. The indicator is yellow when not in use and should be purple when not in use. The yellow indicates a 5% CO2 level, cardiac massage and ventiliation being performed correctly. The color will not change during use and will not be an indicator of CO2 level or improper performance of cardiac message and ventilation.
