Description
A CPR Mask has an inflated rim that creates an airtight seal around the mouth and nose when placed on the face. They are used to perform rescuer breaths safely and effectively on a patient who is unresponsive and not breathing. The most common use is for cardiac arrest victims. CPR masks have a one-way valve that allows air in and prevents backflow which eliminates the risk of transmitting bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, and vomit. The CPR Mask comes with an oxygen port, hard shell case and head strap. They are designed for use on both adults and children. The mask is reusable when the valve is replaced, and the mask has been thoroughly sterilised.
Directions

- Firmly press the mask down on the skin to create an airtight seal.
