Wormald GCE Sabre Medical resuscitation system

The GCE Sabre Medical Manual & Automatic Resuscitation System (MARS) is designed for utilisation in emergency services, mining, oil and gas, and marine industries. It offers both manual and automatic resuscitation modes and is based around a control module and a patient valve.

The gas supply is passed through the automatic channel and delivered to the patient as a specific breathing program, according to the chosen flow rate.

If the patient takes a spontaneous breath while in automatic mode, gas is delivered from the supply and the automatic breathing program shuts down. The module automatically senses if the patient stops breathing and resumes volume-cycled resuscitation within 4-6 s.

Should the patient’s airway become blocked or over-pressurised, an audible alarm sounds and excess gas is released. A manual override trigger is fitted to the patient valve to allow initial lung saturation and manual resuscitation when the module is in CPR mode.

With the demand valve delivering 100% oxygen, the system can be used in irrespirable atmospheres, such as underground mines. An optional oxygen cylinder connector allows it to be attached to various cylinders.

The system is available in two configurations: MARS Industrial with Child and MARS Mining, with a large-adult auto setting.
