Flowmeter and Switch-Off Valve for Instant AMBU Bag Oxygen Supply

A flowmeter with a switch-off valve is a specialized device that connects to a medical gas outlet and includes a standard flowmeter, an auxiliary port for attaching an Ambu bag, and a switch-off valve that functions as the Ambu lever. When the Ambu bag is lifted from the lever arm, the auxiliary port delivers an immediate 25 LPM oxygen flow, which automatically stops once the bag is placed back. Meanwhile, the flowmeter continues to operate independently, allowing oxygen therapy for an additional patient with its flow rate adjusted as needed.

Silbermann’s auxiliary instant supply valve is a switch-off valve that provides immediate oxygen flow. When the Ambu bag rests on the valve, the oxygen supply is stopped. Lifting the bag from the valve instantly starts the oxygen flow. This feature is especially useful in emergencies, allowing immediate oxygen delivery without adjusting the flow rate.

• In emergencies, every second counts. Delivering oxygen immediately, without having to adjust the flow knob, saves valuable time.

• Providing the option to use an Ambu bag or the flowmeter for inhalation significantly increases safety.

No. The flowmeter itself ensures controlled, safe oxygen delivery. The auxiliary valve only supplements flow when needed.

In emergencies, clinical settings, or anywhere rapid oxygen delivery is needed.
