Features & benefits
General information
Reliable ventilation
The single-shutter valve system incorporated into the design of the SPUR II provides reliable functionality, which has been proven across over 30 years of clinical use. The action of this valve system can be viewed during use and can be used as a source of visual feedback of airflow. The self-inflating bag, made from a thin SEBS material, also provides excellent recoil. Furthermore, when connected to an oxygen source, the SPUR II can be used to provide up to 100% FiO2.
Patient safety
All sizes of the SPUR II are equipped with a pressure-limiting valve system, this system works to prevent the delivery of excessive pressures that have the potential to cause barotrauma. An override cap is also included, and may be engaged to prevent the activation of the pressure-limiting valve in cases where higher ventilation pressures are required.
Ergonomics and storage
The SPUR II features a SafeGrip™ surface, which is a textured surface on the self-inflating bag which can improve grip and user handling during ventilation. In addition, the adult and paediatric sizes also include an integrated handle which can offer further support. A swivel located between the valve and mask also allows for free rotation of the bag without removing the mask from the patient, for additional user convenience. Finally, the adult and paediatric sizes may also be compressed to allow for more convenient storage, taking up less space.
Accessories and additional functions
The SPUR II is compatible with both the Ambu Disposable Pressure Manometer and the Ambu Disposable PEEP Valves, without the need for additional adapters to connect them. A splashguard is also provided, which when attached to the expiratory port, works to divert exhaled gases and fluids away from the user.
Variants of the SPUR II which include an m-port are also available. The m-port can be used to monitor end tidal CO2 or be used as a conduit through which medication can be provided to the patient.
A SPUR II for all patients
The SPUR II is provided in Adult, Paediatric and Infant sizes, forming a complete family of resuscitators. The packaging for each size is colour coded to allow for size identification.
