The RES-Q-VAC is used whenever
a patient has breathing difficulties such as heart attack,
stroke, poisoning, drowning, or is airway compromised due to
diseases such as pneumonia or cystic fibrosis. It is also
essential for patients with swallowing disorders, patients
on ventilators, and tracheotomy patients.
Applications:
RES-Q-VAC was first deployed in
what was referred to as "battle field" conditions in St.
Croix in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo. RES-Q-VAC is
aboard many domestic airliners, found on many ambulances,
and used throughout the hospital and nursing homes on code
carts, in code bags, for patient transport, and at nurses'
stations. It is used in the home for low-cost
mechanical suction that does not require any electrical
power, which makes RES-Q-VAC essential for backup during
power failures, floods earthquakes, tornadoes, and other
natural disasters. It is also ideal for the military
for all emergency situations and could save many lives for
use in chemical or biological warfare. The RES-Q-VAC
is the only hand-operated system which can be operated while
wearing a full combat chemical suit and can be used to treat
children and adults with its versatile selection of
catheters from 8fr through large bore soft yankauer.
Full Stop Protection (FSP) Filtration:
The RES-Q-VAC hand-held medical
suction system is available with patented FULL STOP
PROTECTION (FSP) equivalent to 0.22u HEPA style
filter which prevents all contamination (viral and
bacterial), fluids or pathogens, from exiting the canister
and contaminating the health professional or surrounding
area. More |
