PEEP valve 20 – Reusable with Connection Button 30 mm for Adult Ventilation

Precise control of PEEP during ventilation training and emergency simulations

The PEEP valve 20 with 30 mm connection knob is a reusable, high-quality ventilation valve designed for use in adults during ventilation training, emergency simulation, and clinical preparation . PEEP stands for Positive End-Expiratory Pressure – a controlled pressure maintained in the lungs at the end of exhalation, essential for keeping the alveoli (air sacs) open.

This valve is ideal for use in education, simulation training, or as part of a resuscitation kit for emergency situations in a training context.

What does a PEEP valve do?

A PEEP valve regulates:

• The pressure maintained in the lungs after exhalation
• The stability of the airways during ventilation
• Gas exchange in the alveoli by preventing complete lung collapse
• Oxygenation during artificial ventilation in emergency situations or during training

The PEEP value of 20 cmH₂O is intended for use in advanced scenarios or simulations requiring higher pressure settings, typically in adults with limited lung compliance (e.g., ARDS simulations).

Compatibility

• Connection: Universal 30 mm bayonet mount
• Compatible with:
  • Resuscitation bags (BVMs)
  • Breathing masks and endotracheal systems
  • Training dummies and simulation equipment for adults
  • Patient circuit with standard 30 mm connection

Note: not suitable for use in children or neonates – PEEP valves with lower pressure ratings are available for this purpose.

Reusable and sustainable

• Made of strong plastic and silicone interior
• Resistant to multiple cleaning cycles (according to cleaning instructions)
• Suitable for sterilization or disinfection (depending on protocol)
• No electrical or battery components – fully mechanical and reliable

Reusable means long-term cost efficiency , especially in training environments or institutions where practice takes place regularly.

Use and installation

1. Attach the valve to the expiratory end of the BVM or the ventilation circuit.
2. Ensure the valve is securely attached to the 30 mm connection.
3. Check the PEEP value before use (fixed setting: 20 cmH₂O)
4. Clean or disinfect immediately after use according to protocol.

No settings or calibration required – this valve has a fixed pressure setting of 20 cmH₂O.

Maintenance and cleaning

• Clean immediately after use with mild soap and rinse thoroughly
• Allow to air dry or disinfect according to instructions.
• Not suitable for autoclave unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer
• Inspect regularly for damage or reduced resilience

Use only cleaning agents suitable for medical plastic and silicone parts.

Points of attention

• Use only with respiratory equipment suitable for a 30 mm valve connection.
• Do not use in children or patients with low pressure requirements.
• Regularly check for mechanical wear upon reuse
• Not intended for permanent ventilation – for temporary use or training only
