Ventway Sparrow range - Transport electric ventilator

Intended purpose

An automatic cycling machine used to control and assist alveolar ventilation, with sufficient functions to provide long-term ventilatory support for patients with varying respiratory demands. The device is used for adult patients, but can be used on children and may also be used to assist the ventilation of the newborn, though this application will be at the extreme end of its intended use. It will typically have both invasive and non-invasive pressure/volume cycled modes and allow the patient to breathe spontaneously while providing for a minimum minute volume in the event of patient apnoea. It will have monitors and alarms specifically designed for use in critical care settings. The device can also be operated during transport for inter and intra hospital applications as well as pre-hospital and military applications. The device can be portable and may be battery or pneumatically powered but may require external power for extended use. Its applications are not restricted in alternate-site care and care during transportation or emergency situations outside the hospital facilities and/or MRI Units
