*Pass criteria; deliver minimum usable volume of 2.5–5 mL.
†Pass criteria; average CV of delivered volume <30% (all distances).
‡Pass criteria; <1% of inflations>45 cm H2O.
§Pass criteria; average start distance 50% (≤30 mm) of total compression distance.
¶Tidal volumes and CV all significantly different ANOVA repeated measures, p<0.001.
ANOVA, analysis of variance; CV, coefficient of variation; RU, reusable; SIB, self-inflating bags; SU, single use.
