Specialty Circuits for Special Needs
Patient and Provider Safety
Non-rebreathing circuits eliminate the need for soda lime absorbers, dome valves and drain locks. The exhaled gas is passed directly to the scavenging system, eliminating cross contamination associated with CO2 absorbers, and minimizing the risk to health care professionals.
Modified Jackson-Rees
| Traditional |
Vital Signs has been customizing Modified Jackson-Rees circuits for over 15 years. We have continued to improve upon the time-tested qualities of this product line. |
| Improvements |
The Vital Signs Washington "T" has been redesigned so that the fresh gas tube enters at a 45° angle pointing cephalad. This change reduces the number of sharp angled edges that can catch on drapes, while maintaining its ability to be used in tonsil and adenoid cases or with an extended length endotracheal tube. |
| Pressure Control |
The transparent Flow-Trol™ Valve is firm and reliable. Its large, clear markings make determining valve position easy, even from a few meters away. The Flow-Trol™ offers "dial-in" finger control, which is precise and accurate. |
| Safety/Relief Options |
Vital Signs offers reusable adjustable safety relief valves. The valves can be adjusted single-handedly with resistances ranging from 1 cm H2O at 3 lpm (fully opened) to a maximum of 60 cm H2O at 5 lpm (fully closed). |
Anesthesia Ventilator Circuit
| Safety | The Anesthesia Ventilator Circuit is a commonly over-looked member of the Breathing System Group. Connecting the ventilator with the anesthesia system enables clinicians to ventilate the patient mechanically so that they may focus on other aspects of patient care. This often neglected circuit may harbor infectious agents. In their controlled study, P.M. Murphy, et al. found that 12% of the inoculi particle cycled through an anesthesia system were deposited in the tubing connecting the CO2 absorber with the ventilator and 15% were found in the reservoir of the ventilator.1 |
| Choice | The Anesthesia Ventilator Circuit's cuffs are color-coded green to help distinguish them from other hoses and tubes. Lengths available for the Ventilator Circuits include 40" and 60". |

Easy-Pap™
| Definition |
Vital Signs manufactured the first patient dedicated device to assist in the delivery of oxygen to the non-ventilated, non-dependent lung during one-lung anesthesia. Using this device, the clinician inflates the non-dependent lung with oxygen, using the technique of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. EASY-PAP is a compact, simple circuit that utilizes a threshold resistor PEEP valve as the mechanism for delivering CPAP. |
| Safety |
The Vital Signs threshold resistor valves are pre-set to deliver exact levels of PEEP. Their unique design enables them to operate as the only flow independent valves on the market. |
