At the end of the day...
the difference is circuitGuard™!
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Protection of patients and equipment from contamination. The device may either be used on the patient side or on the device side of the ventilator/anesthetic device and is used as a hygienic measure alternatively to decontamination of breathing system and/or breathing gas conveying parts of the ventilator.
UNITIZED CONSTRUCTION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
The three main components of circuitGuard™ are manufactured as one unit using our exclusive sure-fit system. No glue or welding is needed, minimizing construction failure points.
CROSS CONTAMINATION PROTECTION
With circuitGuard™ at the proximal airway, bacteria and viruses have to travel through one filter into the circuit and then traverse back through a SECOND filter (on the next patient) in order for cross contamination to occur.
100% COMPLIANCE
With the gas sampling port only on the circuitGuard™, and not on the circuit. This leads to 100% compliance by anesthesia provider.
BI-DIRECTIONAL FILTRATION
The hydrophobic filter media used in the circuitGuard™ is the most commonly used media in anesthesia today. It protects against contamination of the anesthesia circuit as well as protecting the patient from any contaminated anesthesia equipment.
LOW PROFILE
The small size and low profile are excellent for pediatric and adult patients. (>100ml Vt)
COST-EFFECTIVE
circuitGuard™ reduces expense by eliminating other HMEs and filters in the circuit. Red bag waste is reduced by 83%. All that is necessary to start a case is circuitGuard™ and mask thereby reducing O.R. turnover times. Inventory space is reduced by 75%.
EASY TO USE
Place the circuitGuard™ at the wye and add a mask and anesthesia is ready to start!
CONFIGURATIONS
circuitGuard™ Products are available in filter or filter/HME styles. High quality air cushion anesthesia masks may be packaged with any circuitGuard™ product.
