The B&B Bubbler Water Seal CPAP Valve provides a proven method of delivering 0-10 cm of PEEP to infants weighing <10 kg. The Bubbler is adjustable from 1 to 10 cm H2O by rotating dial with setting lock and equipped with a patented dual-chambered wall that allows fluid level to be observed static during use. The dual wall simultaneously gives the physician an internal-drainable overflow chamber that limits fluid level to the optimal range and allows for proper pressure delivery. Gas inlet spins 360 degrees independently from bottle to reduce hose tangles, kinks, and disengagement of the circuit.
The 12.5 cmH2O Pressure Relief Manifold is a single-use device for use with patients weighing less than 10 kg requiring a fresh gas inlet, oxygen sensor port and a pressure limitation system. The manifold relieves pressure in excess of 12.5 cmH2O. Each manifold comes with 12.5 cmH2O pressure relief valve, gas supply line and capped oxygen sensor port. The 22 mm ID inlet is compatible with all humidifier chambers. Made of latex- and phthalate-free materials. The manifold may be used with the B&B Bubbler Water CPAP Valve 0-10 cmH2O and other commercially available systems.

Innovation begins with the patented 135° angle of the Dräger Bubble CPAP’s submerged tube. This increases oscillation amplitude, creating bubbles that simulate high-frequency ventilation without the complications of intubation. Engineered with a unique lock mechanism to prevent inadvertent pressure changes and an extended circuit that facilitates Kangaroo care and human contact. Advanced respiratory technology with a heart—so babies, parents and caregivers can breathe easier.
