Automated procedures and time saving workflow tools

Vital Capacity procedure

• Automated bag “squeeze and hold” 
• Set PEEP to help sustain open lung ^2,3 

Cycling procedure 

• Clinician-configured ventilation procedures 
• Programmable steps for increasing and decreasing PEEP levels 

Pause Gas Flow

Simplifies temporary circuit disconnects. One button temporarily stops all gas flows and suspends alarms, agent delivery and ventilation so you can place all your focus on the patient. 

• Pause Gas feature helps prevent OR pollution 
• Stops gas & agent flow and silences all alarms for up to 1 minute 

Uncompromised Ventilation – Pediatric to Adult Low Tidal Volume Delivery: 

• Tidal Volumes as low as 5 ml to the patient¹
• Sampling flow down to 120 ml/min 
• Lung Capacity and FRC 
• Compliance Measurement and Spirometry 
• Smart Agent Settings Design
• Circuit Compliance Compensation ensures that what you set is what you get, precisely showing what is delivered to the patient and taking into account volume in the patient circuit. 
• Monitors and responds to changes in the patient’s airway pressure or respiratory efforts up to 250 times per second. 
• Precision volume and pressure delivery to the patient Y-piece, breath by breath, help reduce the challenges in managing pediatric patients.
