About SafeBVM™

SafeBVM™ is a medical device and digital health company Supported by NIH, NSF, and U.S. military funding, dedicated to improving survival through safer manual ventilation—an essential but often overlooked part of emergency care.

SafeBVM™ manufactures the Sotair® product family, designed to make manual ventilation safer and more consistent across patient care and training.

In patient care, Sotair® delivers flow-limited manual ventilation that minimizes over- and hyperventilation by blocking forceful breaths while automatically adapting to patient physiology—without added cognitive load. Providers do not need to set dials, watch screens, or manage additional equipment, allowing them to stay focused on the patient and the resuscitation.

Unlike traditional pressure-relief valves that vent gas when higher pressure is needed—such as during obstructed airways or chest compressions—Sotair® preserves delivered volume while keeping pressures within safer limits. When used with supraglottic airways, this pressure control helps maintain the airway seal, improving ventilation safety and bringing SGAs closer to a functional definitive airway.

In training, SotairIQ™, SafeBVM’s digital training platform, uses simple, gamified learning to build and reinforce provider competence in proper manual ventilation technique. By providing real-time feedback on flow, pressure, volume, rate, and inspiratory time, SotairIQ™ helps develop muscle memory that carries into real-world patient care.

Together, Sotair® and SotairIQ™ bring consistency, safety, and confidence to both training and clinical manual ventilation.
