Pep/Rmt System

Pep/Rmt-Sets bestehen aus Atemmaske, Ventil und acht unterschiedlichen Widerständen. Die Masken sind in fünf Größen erhältlich (Säuglinge - Erwachsene).

Für Patienten, für die eine Maske unkomfortabel ist, steht das Set auch mit Mundstücken zur Verfügung.

Alle Sets werden in einer Tragetasche geliefert, erforderliche Zusatzkomponenten können separat bestellt werden.

Manometer und T-Konnektoren sind ebenfalls als Zubehör erhältlich. Diese unterstützen den Patienten bei der Anwendung der korrekten Atemtechnik und bei der Auswahl des passenden Widerstands.
