Inspection of components
After reprocessing, carefully inspect all components for damage and residuals or excessive
wear and replace if necessary. Some methods may cause discoloration of rubber
components without impact on their lifetime. In case of material deterioration, e.g.
cracking, the components should be discarded and replaced with a new component.
In case of sterilization, the oxygen reservoir bag can look slightly wrinkled. This has no
impact on its lifetime or function.
Reassembly
Manually reassemble the components of the resuscitator as shown in
•
When inserting the valve housing of the inlet valve, make sure that the bag opening
seats smoothly against the flange.
•
When inserting the valve discs, make sure the butt of the stem is pushed through the
hole in the middle of the valve seating, as shown in figures
•
When mounting the splash guard: Note that the opening of the splash guard should
face downwards

For mounting the oxygen reservoir bag on to Ambu Mark IV Baby, attach the adaptor
to the resuscitator inlet valve by mounting the adaptor corrugated connector onto
the inlet connector, and additionally covering the oxygen inlet connector with the
adaptor cap. Subsequently the oxygen reservoir bag can be connected to the adaptor
corrugated connector.
Perform a functionality test after reassembly and before it is prepared for immediate use in
emergency situations.
Service
The resuscitator requires no scheduled maintenance other than regular reprocessing,
inspection and testing.
