Carefusion RC51-12002 - Heated Infant Respiratory Circuit, 5-Foot Length', 30/CS
The Carefusion RC51-12002 is a high-performance heated respiratory circuit specifically engineered for infant ventilation support. With a 5-foot length optimized for neonatal and pediatric applications, this circuit ensures precise temperature and humidity control during mechanical ventilation. It is designed to minimize condensation, deliver consistent airway temperatures, and improve the overall effectiveness of respiratory therapy for vulnerable infant patients.
Key Benefits
Advanced Heated Design: Maintains optimal gas temperature and humidity to protect delicate airway tissues
Infant-Specific Configuration: Shorter 5-foot tubing provides accurate tidal volume delivery and reduces dead space
Minimizes Condensation: Heated-wire system reduces rainout in the tubing, ensuring uninterrupted airflow
Single-Use and Sterile: Reduces cross-contamination risk and ensures clinical hygiene
Compatible with Active Humidifiers: Enhances humidification for improved mucociliary function and patient comfort
