  • a flexible bag having an inlet and an outlet;

    a one way valve coupled to the flexible bag outlet;

    a frame having generally vertical sides and positioned over the one way valve;

    an indicator strip surrounding the generally vertical sides of the frame;

    an inhalation port for passing fresh gas flow, the inhalation port positioned such that the fresh gas flow passes through the indicator element thereby cleansing the indicator element; and
