There is an urgent need to train millions of birth attendants in developing countries
in effective newborn resuscitation techniques in order to achieve the UN Millennium
Development Goal 4 of reducing infant and child mortality by 2/3 from 1990 to 2015.
Laerdal hopes to contribute to such widespread training by providing the NeoNatalie
Resuscitator and other NeoNatalie products on a not-for-profit basis to developing
countries.

1 Intended Use
This resuscitator is a self-inflating, manual resuscitator intended for newborns and infants
(up to 5 kg) who require respiratory support. The resuscitator provides positive pressure
ventilation of the lungs when used with a face mask.
The resuscitator may be reused provided proper cleaning and sterilization or disinfection
procedures are performed between each patient use.
Note: This resuscitator is also suitable for ventilation training on a realistic resuscitation
training manikin, such as the NeoNatalie Newborn Simulator, which is provided for the
“Helping Babies Breathe” project.
Note: This resuscitator can provide supplemental oxygen only when used with the accessory
oxygen kit.
