Key Benefits FEATURES Physical Features User Interface Single Rotational control, push/turn to access all data and menu information Color LCD that indicates all settings and actual parameters. Graphics and special menu functions are also presented for clinician use Clinician chosen display interface: ICU/Monitoring/Home Care Physical Design Designed for easy cleaning and quick turn-around Rugged build Small, lightweight design allows for easy transport Configuration Features Quick set-up The iVent201 has pre-determined settings based on the patient's ideal body weight. This allows very quick application of the ventilator in emergency/non-clinician settings Circuit Compliance Not necessary as all pressures, volumes and compensation flows are measured at the patient's wye Pre-set Default Used for typical setting for specific clinical applications Patient Triggers Configured to have both pressure and flow triggers as default. First trigger sensed initiates breath Modes: Assist Control, Volume All modes of ventilation may be used with both pediatric and adult patients. This allows great versatility to meet clinical demands Assist Control, Pressure SIMV, Volume SIMV, Pressure CPAP/PSV Pressure Limited Volume Control Adaptive Bi-Level Manual Controls: Alarm Silence Silences the alarm for two minutes 100% O2 Pressing this key allows for 3 minutes of 100% O2 and 2 minutes of alarm silence during suction procedures Manual Breath Enables the operator to deliver a single breath. In the CPAP/PSV modes, where there isn't any defined machine breath, the delivered breath will be default volume for the specified patient weight Clear This key will minimize alarm pop-ups and silence the alarm for 30 seconds. This key also aborts the last operator action and returns to the previous position. When held for 2 seconds, all corrected alarm messages (displayed in green) are cleared from the screen and/or alarm silence is cancelled Trends/Log Book Patient Trends There are 14 different parameters available to trend. Trended information is held for 72 hours on a first in, first out basis. This information can be browsed with a cursor for exact information at exact times. Log Book Parameter changes and alarms are logged for 500 events on a first in, first out basis. The viewable log is erased once the unit is powered off. Proximal Flow/Pressure/Volume Sensing Dual Pressure Transducers The combination of proximal and distal pressure sensors in the circuit wye allows for extremely accurate measurements of delivered and exhaled volumes. The iVent computer deciphers pressure changes into volume and flow.

Battery operated to provide a gas source during transports or loss of power. D/C power Standard internal battery provides up to 2 hours(optional 4 hour battery) of operation (depending on ventilatory load). There is a standard external battery coupler on back to add an external battery source. RS-232 (out) Communication port to transfer ventilator information to another electronic device. RS-232 (in) Communication port to transfer software upgrades into the ventilator. Keyboard input To allow easy upgrades to internal software. Remote alarm jack To connect the ventilator to remote alarms or to nurse call systems. Misc. Operation Oxygen supply The iVent201 operates with either high or low pressure oxygen sources. CBRN filter The iVent201 was manufactured to operate in field (chemical/biological/radiologic/nuclear)situations where there may be biological agents or chemical gases. Display screens The iVent201 has three display screens designed for varying applications. Upgradeable As new needs in ventilation occur (i.e. non-invasive ventilation) the iVent201 can be easily upgraded without having to purchase another platform. Cost of Ownership Yearly PM's include changing of the internal battery and the internal filters. Calibrations are done with an O2 source, 500 cc syringe, pressure manometer and a 2L test lung. Biomedical training is available. Extended warranties are available. Rugged Exterior Operates in difficult environments such as disaster, pandemic, military transport, ambulances and planes.
