AirLife 2K8017 Adult Manual Resuscitator (BVM) - Disposable with Mask

AirLife Adult Manual Resuscitator | Single-Patient Use | 2K8017

The AirLife 2K8017 (by CareFusion/Vyaire) is a premium, self-inflating manual resuscitator engineered for 2026 emergency care standards. This adult-sized Bag Valve Mask (BVM) provides a reliable, disposable solution for patients requiring immediate respiratory support. By utilizing a single-patient-use design, it eliminates the logistics and infection risks associated with reprocessing, making it an essential component for "Code Blue" carts and rapid response kits.

A standout feature of this model is the 40-inch corrugated reservoir tubing, which offers a versatile alternative to traditional reservoir bags, allowing for precise oxygen titration and improved clinician visibility of gas flow.

Key Performance Features

• Double-Swivel Elbow (360 Degree): The integrated swivel connector at the mask interface reduces torque and tension on the patient’s airway. This allows the clinician to move freely around the head of the bed without compromising the mask seal or irritating the patient's trachea.

• Textured High-Tactility Bag: The resuscitator bag is constructed from a lightweight, textured material designed to provide the provider with exceptional "feel" of the patient’s lung compliance. The non-slip surface ensures a secure grip even in high-stress, high-moisture environments.

• Corrugated Reservoir Tubing: Unlike standard bag reservoirs, the 40-inch (101.6 cm) corrugated tubing provides a visual indicator of flow and allows for a wide range of oxygen concentrations to be delivered depending on the clinical requirement.

• U/Connect-It Oxygen Fitting: Each unit comes pre-assembled with 10 feet of oxygen tubing and a universal connector, allowing for instant "plug-and-play" attachment to wall flowmeters or portable oxygen tanks.

• Integrated Manometer Port: A dedicated port is built into the elbow to allow for the optional attachment of a pressure manometer, ensuring safe peak inspiratory pressures (PIP) are maintained during ventilation.
