The
Venturi® Ventilator
The New Generation of
Ventilator Technology
The Venturi® Ventilator from Cardiopulmonary Corp. meets today's clinical challenges and is designed to elevate standards of ventilatory care. This system combines proven technologies with advanced engineering, patient-focused "smart" software, and innovative pneumatics to make it unique among ventilators. The system's exclusive combination of features provides significant performance advantages that ensure safe, cost-effective management of adult and pediatric ventilation.
In addition to providing conventional modes of therapy, the Venturi® Ventilator's "smart" software optimizes and combines modes to improve dynamic interaction between patient demand and ventilator response. This results in potentially shortened weaning times and a decrease in the need for clinical intervention.
Smart Software
The Venturi software's multi-level access offers a broad range of choices for the clinician. The Venturi® Ventilator permits flexible mode structuring with the combination of proven modes of ventilation. Once an appropriate mode is chosen, the Venturi® Ventilator's software continuously adapts to automatically remain in tune with the patient's changing breathing demands.
Total Breath Phase Control
The pneumatic drive mechanism of the Venturi® Ventilator's breath phase control system is a bi-directional venturi driven by a single proportional valve. This unique, patented design allows control of both the inspiratory and expiratory phases of the breath. The inspiratory phase uses a clinician-adjustable selected volume trigger to initiate a breath. In the expiratory phase, exhalation assistance helps the patient overcome airway resistance and achieve a more rapid and complete exhalation.
Variable Pressure Support
The Venturi® Ventilator allows the clinician to select a variable range of pressure support. Once variable pressure support is set, the ventilator monitors the tidal volume and seeks the lowest pressure within the selected range to achieve the targeted tidal volume.
Advanced Monitoring
To offer the clinician flexibility in the control of ventilation and the monitoring Ventilator incorporates an active, full color, integrated graphics display and pressure-sensitive touchscreen that depicts the patient's respiratory status. The ventilator displays a comprehensive set of widely used and clinically established respiratory parameters and waveforms. Standard waveforms depicting primary respiratory mechanics, such as pressure, volume, and flow, are displayed. Also shown are selected secondary data, such as continuous flow-volume and pressure-volume waveforms.
Patient Simulator
The Venturi®
Ventilator permits the clinician to predict and safely test the
effects of the proposed changes to ventilator settings-without
disrupting ongoing ventilatory therapy. Through computer
simulation, the clinician can test alternative settings before
applying them to a patient. The Venturi uses current patient
information to aid the clinician in selecting patient-specific
settings.
Data Management
The Venturi®
Ventilator records and stores individual patient ventilatory
data, including settings, actual delivered values, and pressure
and flow waveforms. This capability allows clinicians to compare
historical data with current patient settings and responses.
Disposable Integrated Breathing Circuit, Humidifier, and Reservoir
The Venturi® Ventilator provides temperature control and humidification of the breathing gas. The humidifier and all of the system components in contact the patient are contained in one disposable circuit. Integrating all of the system components that come into contact with the patient, including the humidifier, into one disposable circuit reduces the risk of cross contamination and the costs of cleaning and sterilization. In addition, this integrated circuit eliminates flow restricting demand valves and filters within the breathing circuit.
Battery Backup
The Venturi® Ventilator includes batteries that enable the ventilator to remain electronically functional during power interruptions.
