Smiths Medical 385000 - MAN VENTILATOR TRNSPRT KIT-W/O BRTHNG BA, 25 EA/CS

The Smiths Medical 385000 Manual Ventilator Transport Kit is designed to support manual respiratory assistance during patient transport and other clinical situations requiring a compact oxygen-delivery setup. The kit features a standard 15 mm/22 mm patient connector, a rotating swivel connector, a manometer port, and 7-foot oxygen tubing. This configuration is supplied without a breathing bag, allowing healthcare facilities to select an appropriate compatible bag separately according to patient and procedural requirements.

Packaged with 25 kits per case, the Smiths Medical 385000 is suitable for hospitals, emergency departments, respiratory care units, transport teams, and other healthcare environments that maintain organized supplies for airway management and patient transfer.

Key Benefits

• Supports manual ventilation during supervised patient transport and respiratory care procedures
• Standard 15 mm/22 mm connector supports connection with compatible masks, airway devices, and respiratory components
• Swivel connector rotates to help reduce tension and torque at the patient connection
• Integrated manometer port supports connection to compatible pressure-monitoring equipment
• Includes 7-foot oxygen tubing for convenient connection to an appropriate oxygen source
• Star-lumen tubing construction helps resist kinking and maintain oxygen flow
• Supplied without a breathing bag for facilities that prefer to select the bag separately
• Case quantity of 25 supports inventory planning in high-use clinical settings

Compatibility and Applications

The Smiths Medical 385000 Manual Ventilator Transport Kit is intended for use with compatible manual ventilation components and respiratory equipment that accept standard 15 mm or 22 mm connections. The patient-end fitting may be connected to compatible respiratory masks, endotracheal tubes, tracheostomy interfaces, and other airway devices when clinically appropriate.

Common applications may include intrahospital patient transport, emergency airway support, post-anesthesia transfer, respiratory care preparation, critical care transport, and short-term manual ventilation. A compatible breathing bag, oxygen source, pressure-monitoring device, and any additional patient interface components must be obtained separately when required.

Usage Guidelines

Before use, inspect the kit and packaging for damage, contamination, loose connections, or other visible defects. Confirm that all required components, including a compatible breathing bag when needed, are available before initiating ventilation support.

Connect the patient fitting to the appropriate airway interface and attach the oxygen tubing to a compatible, regulated oxygen source. The swivel connector may be positioned to minimize pulling or twisting at the patient connection. When pressure monitoring is required, connect an appropriate device to the manometer port according to the equipment manufacturers instructions.

Manual ventilation should be performed only by trained healthcare professionals who can evaluate airway placement, oxygen delivery, ventilation pressure, chest movement, and the patients overall clinical response. Follow the current product labeling, facility procedures, and applicable respiratory care protocols.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The Smiths Medical 385000 should be used in accordance with the manufacturers current instructions, applicable medical device requirements, recognized respiratory care practices, and the healthcare facilitys infection prevention and patient safety policies. Standard connector dimensions are intended to support integration with appropriately matched respiratory components.

Users should verify the current regulatory status, product specifications, and applicable certifications for their location before purchasing or placing the product into clinical service. Do not use the kit when the packaging or any component appears damaged, contaminated, altered, or incompatible with the intended equipment.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with basic oxygen tubing assemblies, the Smiths Medical 385000 combines several useful transport ventilation components, including a 15 mm/22 mm patient connector, swivel functionality, a manometer port, and extended oxygen tubing. The rotating connector may provide greater positioning flexibility than fixed connectors by helping reduce torque at the airway interface.

The kit is supplied without a breathing bag, which distinguishes it from complete manual resuscitation systems. This configuration can benefit facilities that already stock compatible breathing bags or require flexibility when selecting bag capacity and related respiratory components. Buyers should compare connector compatibility, included components, tubing length, monitoring access, packaging quantity, and clinical requirements when evaluating alternatives.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

This manual ventilator transport kit is suitable for respiratory therapists, anesthesiology teams, emergency clinicians, critical care personnel, perioperative staff, paramedics, and trained patient transport professionals. It may also be maintained in respiratory supply rooms, emergency carts, transport equipment inventories, procedure areas, and critical care units.

A typical application involves preparing a patient for movement between clinical departments while maintaining access to manual ventilation and supplemental oxygen. The swivel connector can help clinicians position the tubing more effectively, while the manometer port provides access for compatible pressure-monitoring equipment when required by the clinical situation.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

• Confirm that a compatible breathing bag and all necessary airway components are available before use
• Inspect the connector, manometer port, and oxygen tubing before connecting the kit to the patient
• Verify secure connections at the airway interface, breathing bag, monitoring device, and oxygen source
• Position the swivel connector and tubing to reduce pulling, twisting, and accidental disconnection
• Avoid bending, crushing, stretching, or placing heavy equipment on the oxygen tubing
• Monitor the patient continuously according to the clinical condition and facility protocol
• Do not modify the kit or connect components that are not confirmed as compatible
• Store unused kits in a clean, dry area away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight
• Rotate inventory according to expiration dates and facility stock-management procedures
• Dispose of used components according to applicable medical waste and infection control requirements

Regulatory and Safety Information

The Smiths Medical 385000 is intended for professional healthcare use. Manual ventilation and oxygen administration require appropriate clinical training and continuous patient assessment. Incorrect assembly, excessive ventilation pressure, inadequate oxygen flow, airway obstruction, or an unsecured connection may compromise ventilation and patient safety.

This product is supplied without a breathing bag and should not be considered a complete ventilation system until all clinically required compatible components are correctly assembled. Review the manufacturers current labeling for indications, limitations, warnings, storage requirements, and disposal instructions. Product specifications and packaging information should be confirmed before ordering, particularly when the kit will be used with existing airway or respiratory equipment.
