Res-Q-Air Inhalation/Core rewarming system


The Res-Q-Air Inhalation/Core rewarming system increases probability of survive hypothermia victims. It's specially designed to provide warm humidified air or oxygen, donates heat directly to "core" and is non invasive. Manufactured to Military quality control standards MIL-45208. May be operated from any 12 Volt DC power source. Current drain is only 6 amperes. Can be integrated with other respiratory equipment e.g. resuscitator, mechanical ventilator, incubators etc. The Res-Q-Air will operate for up to two hours on one charge. It allows the hypothermic casualty to breath on their own, or if required allows rescuers to deliver positive pressure, humidified oxygen right where it is most needed, at a temperature of 43 ºC.
