What Is the Silicone Adult Resuscitator CP?
The VM-RSSASCP is the CP (Carry Pack) version of the Vital Medical silicone adult resuscitator, supplied with masks and accessories in a dedicated carry bag for organised storage and rapid deployment at the point of need. The CP series meets the clinical performance requirements of the standard silicone resuscitator but is designed for paramedic kits, emergency trolleys and departments where a complete, ready-to-use resuscitator kit is required to be immediately available without individual component assembly.
Technical Performance
The adult CP resuscitator delivers a bag volume of 1500ml (±200ml) with a stroke volume of ≥600ml, sufficient for adult tidal volumes in CPR (recommended 600ml at 12 BPM). The pressure limiting valve (40-60cmH2O) prevents barotrauma, and the 2000ml oxygen reservoir ensures FiO2 ≥85% at a supplementary oxygen flow rate of 15L/min. The ISO5356-1 22/15mm patient connector is universally compatible with adult masks, ET tube connectors and supraglottic airway devices.
Infection Control, Reusability and Availability in South Africa
Silicone construction allows full autoclave sterilisation between patients, making the VM-RSSASCP a cost-effective choice for high-usage resuscitation environments. The carry bag maintains component organisation and protects the equipment from environmental contamination during storage. All components should be inspected before each use for cracks, valve patency and bag integrity. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the VM-RSSASCP suits paramedic kits, emergency trolleys and departments needing an immediately deployable adult resuscitator.
