Carefusion 5504BDL1 - Hyperinflation System Low Flow (LF) with Pressure Manometer
The Carefusion 5504BDL1 is a low-flow hyperinflation system designed to support manual lung expansion and airway clearance in neonatal and pediatric patients. Commonly used during resuscitation or post-surgical recovery, this system delivers controlled, intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) through a self-inflating bag setup.
Equipped with a pressure manometer, the 5504BDL1 allows clinicians to monitor delivered pressure levels, minimizing the risk of barotrauma while ensuring therapeutic effectiveness. This system supports lung recruitment and helps improve oxygenation in patients with atelectasis or under general anesthesia.
Key Benefits
Low Flow (LF) Configuration: Optimized for neonates and infants requiring gentle, controlled ventilation.
Integrated Pressure Manometer: Provides real-time pressure feedback for precise control and patient safety.
Single-Use and Sterile: Reduces infection risk and supports best practices in infection control.
Flexible Tubing and Soft Components: Designed for comfort and ease of handling during critical interventions.
Supports Lung Recruitment: Enhances lung expansion, reduces atelectasis, and improves gas exchange in compromised patients.
Compatibility and Applications
The 5504BDL1 hyperinflation system is compatible with oxygen sources using standard oxygen tubing and is commonly used in:
Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs)
Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs)
Operating rooms during surgical recovery
Emergency departments and code blue situations
Respiratory therapy for lung expansion exercises
Usage Guidelines
Connect the oxygen supply line to a regulated oxygen source.
Adjust flow to the prescribed setting (typically <15 LPM for low-flow systems).
Use the bag to manually deliver breaths, monitoring the manometer to ensure appropriate peak inspiratory pressure (PIP).
Observe patient response and adjust ventilation technique accordingly.
Dispose of the system after use in accordance with facility biohazard protocols.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
FDA Cleared for medical use
CE Marked for compliance with European standards
Manufactured under ISO 13485 Certified Quality System
Meets ASTM and AARC Standards for manual resuscitation and respiratory devices
These certifications ensure consistent performance and safety in high-acuity respiratory care settings.
Comparison with Competitor Products
The Carefusion 5504BDL1 stands out for its low-flow optimization, making it particularly well-suited for neonatal and pediatric patients, unlike generic resuscitator bags that may deliver excessive pressure. The integrated manometer enhances safety and precision compared to standard models lacking visual feedback.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Used by:
Neonatologists and pediatric intensivists
Respiratory therapists
Anesthesiologists and perioperative teams
Emergency response personnel in pediatric codes
Scenarios include manual ventilation during intubation, post-op recovery, treatment of atelectasis, and delivery room resuscitation.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Inspect for packaging integrity and expiration date before use.
Monitor manometer closely to avoid over-pressurization.
Always use the system in accordance with prescribed oxygen flow rates.
Do not reuse; dispose of in compliance with clinical waste management guidelines.
Store in a dry, clean environment for rapid access during emergencies.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The system meets clinical requirements for manual ventilation support and includes safety features to protect vulnerable neonatal and pediatric patients. Its use helps maintain oxygenation and ventilation while reducing the likelihood of ventilator-associated lung injury.
