PEEP valve, reusable (A non-sterile device used in a respiratory or anaesthesia breathing circuit or system to maintain a selected level of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in a patient's airway during ventilation. The device is typically constructed of plastic and metal materials, and has a valve(s) actuated with a spring(s) to provide the airway resistance, and an adjustable knob or dial (usually graduated) to adjust the resistance level typically between 5 to 20 cmH2O. It is used with ventilators, stand-alone breathing systems for oxygen delivery, pulmonary resuscitators, or anaesthetic breathing systems often having an expiratory valve function. This is a reusable device.)
