Introduction
The Laerdal Pocket Mask is a reusable CPR mask for the professional rescuer, first responder, healthcare professional, and CPR training instructor. It offers superior protection and durability.

Product Overview and Description
The Laerdal Pocket Mask combines a low-resistance, one-way valve with a disposable 3M Filtrete hydrophobic filter to help prevent the passage of liquids and secretions while performing CPR.

The durable plastic, from which it is made, seals easily to fit the facial contours of an adult, child, and infant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:	Do the masks contain latex?
A:	No, the masks do not contain latex. The masks are made from poly vinyl chloride (PVC).
Q:	Is the Pocket Mask disposable?
A:	If a pocket mask is used to treat a patient, the one-way valve and the filter should be discarded. The mask itself can be decontaminated according to the directions for use. Replacement filters and one-way valves can be purchased separately.
Q:	What size particle will the filter block?
A:	The filter is actually utilized as a moisture barrier. The filter is designed to resist the flow of fluids from one side of the filter to the other. Laerdal does not make any claims as to the efficacy of the filter as it relates to blocking small airborne particles. Please note that the Laerdal Pocket Mask can be used without the filter in place.
Q:	Can a Pocket Mask be used on infants and children?
A:	Yes. For adult and larger size children, the Pocket Mask can be positioned with the point of the mask over the patients' nose. For infants and smaller size children, the point of the mask can be positioned with the point directed towards the patients' chest.
Q:	Who should I contact for technical support?
A:	Laerdal offers product technical support by contacting them at 877-LAERDAL. Their System Support Specialists are available to serve you from 8:00 am- 8:00 pm EST Monday through Friday.
