The Eagle 1 and Eagle 2 series are designed for short-term noninvasive ventilation and emergency applications in healthcare settings.
RT’s Three Key Takeaways:
- Versatile Clinical Use: The Eagle 1 and Eagle 2 series are disposable, single-patient use masks designed for short-term or emergency noninvasive respiratory support in hospitals and transport vehicles.
- Endoscopic Compatibility: The Eagle 2 series features a supplemental, membrane-sealed port that allows for the insertion of a bronchoscope or other endoscopic devices while maintaining gas administration.
- Design and Safety: Both mask series feature a lightweight, low-deadspace design with an integrated chin cup for stabilization and are restricted for use by medical professionals.
Hans Rudolph Inc‘s Eagle 1 and Eagle 2 series are disposable oro-nasal masks for short-term or emergency noninvasive respiratory support or ventilation (NIV). These single-patient use masks are intended to administer oxygen or other breathing gases into the upper airway for patients weighing more than 30 kg.
The masks are designed for use in various healthcare environments, including hospitals, transport vehicles, and institutional clinical settings. The series is intended for several applications, such as oxygen and aerosol therapies, cough assistance, and manual resuscitation.
The Eagle 2 series includes specialized features for advanced clinical procedures. It contains a supplemental, membrane-sealed port designed for use during the insertion of a bronchoscope or other endoscopic device into the patient’s airway while oxygen is being administered. This series also includes an integrated hose barb and female luer in the mask dome, according to Hans Rudolph Inc.
Both mask series utilize an overmold design and an anatomical facial sealing flange. Key features include a lightweight construction, low deadspace, and an integrated chin cup for mask stabilization. The masks are available in three sizes—small, medium, and large—which are color-coded with yellow, green, and blue facial flanges for size indication.
The face piece dome is constructed from clear, rigid polypropylene, while the facial sealing uses thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The headgear is made of a multi-laminate material with quick-release features, allowing for the installation and removal of the mask without removing the headgear from the device.
The products are packaged and shipped clean and non-sterile. Federal law restricts these devices for use only by medical professionals, and the manufacturer specifies that the masks and headgear should not be sterilized or disinfected for reuse. Hans Rudolph Inc is based in Shawnee, Kansas, and has manufactured respiratory valves since 1938.
