What is it indicated for?

A one-way valve that prevents the escape of inspiratory gases and re-breathing of expired gases while providing a means of egress for expired gases. Fits all 22 male T-pieces and allows the use of a PEEP valve as the gases exit the valve via a 22 mm port. ISO connections: When assembling any connections use a push and twist action to ensure a secure fit. All ports should remain capped when not is use. Recommended Change: every 24 hours or more frequently if visible deterioration is observed. Single patient use. Non-conductive. Non-sterile. Do not autoclave. CAUTIONS: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA 510(k) statement, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
