Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs)
Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs)
Operating rooms for pediatric anesthesia ventilation
Emergency and transport ventilation for pediatric patients
Usage Guidelines:
Remove the circuit from its sterile packaging using proper technique.
Attach the 15mm ID connectors to the ventilator and patient interface securely.
Verify flow, pressure, and humidification settings according to ventilator specifications.
Use in accordance with your facilitys guidelines for single-patient use circuits.
Discard after use following proper biohazard protocols.
Avoid excessive twisting or bending that may impact airflow or cause disconnections.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals:
FDA-registered as a Class II medical device
CE Marked for international compliance
Manufactured under ISO 13485 medical device quality management standards
Latex-free and DEHP-free materials for pediatric safety
Meets applicable standards for pediatric respiratory circuits and ventilator accessories
These certifications ensure the products reliability in meeting pediatric ventilation safety and performance standards.
Comparison with Competitor Products:
Compared to similar pediatric ventilator circuits from Medline, Teleflex, or Smiths Medical, the Carefusion 6949-701 provides a longer, more flexible circuit length (78") without compromising airflow efficiency. Its 15mm ID and 6" tubing section allow more adaptable positioning around bedsides and ventilators, helping caregivers deliver consistent therapy with fewer interruptions.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios:
Used by:
Respiratory therapists in pediatric or neonatal care
ICU and critical care nurses
Pediatric anesthesiologists
Transport and emergency response teams
Ideal scenarios include:
Mechanical ventilation for infants or children with respiratory distress
Long-term ventilation in pediatric ICU settings
Post-operative ventilation during recovery from pediatric surgery
Emergency transport of ventilated pediatric patients
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance:
Use only once per patient to maintain sterility and prevent infection.
Monitor tubing for signs of condensation, kinking, or obstruction during use.
Ensure connections remain tight and unbroken during patient repositioning.
Store unused circuits in a clean, temperature-controlled environment.
Always check compatibility with ventilator settings and humidifiers before use.
Regulatory and Safety Information:
This product complies with all relevant pediatric ventilation safety requirements, including:
Latex-free construction for allergy-sensitive environments
Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993) to ensure patient safety
Clearly labeled for single-use and sterile until opened
These standards ensure that clinicians can rely on the Carefusion 6949-701 for consistent and safe pediatric respiratory care.
