DEVICE: AirLife (10885403040047)

A device designed to prevent the drying of airway passages associated with the inhalation of oxygen (O2) by adding water vapour to the dry gas as it is passed through, or more seldom, over water. It typically consists of a graduated container (reservoir) for the water, a top piece that functions as a detachable lid (typically a screw lid with a gastight seal), and a tube that protrudes into the water to divert the gas below the water level. This device, commonly known as a bubble humidifier, does not heat the water. It has connectors: 1) one (e.g., a winged nut) that connects to an oxygen therapy flowmeter; and 2) one to which the patient tubing is connected. This is a reusable device.

A hand-held device designed to administer a pre-measured dose of aerosolized medication directly into the mouth of a patient. It typically consists of a shaped plastic holder with integrated mouthpiece into which a pressurized metal canister containing the solution or suspension of medicine is placed. Commonly known as a metered dose inhaler (MDI), aerosol inhaler or puffer, it is a portable device typically carried in the pocket or a handbag (purse) of the patient for convenient access. A medicine chamber spacer may be attached to this device to facilitate its use by small children (enables the slow inhalation of the medicine). This is a reusable device intended for single-patient use.

An assembly of devices designed to conduct air or oxygen (O2) enriched gases and additional gases [e.g., nitrous oxide (N2O), halogenated gases] from a ventilator to a patient artificial airway/respiratory mask (not included). It includes breathing tubes, a Y-piece connector, and provides connections for devices that humidify, deliver medication, and monitor gas concentration or pressure within the breathing circuit; some types may include a carbon dioxide cuvette and/or an integrated heating wire powered by a connected humidifier intended to warm breathing gases as they enter the patient's airway. This is a single-use device.
