The pNeuton model A ventilator with built-in CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is ideal for critical care adult or pediatric patient support in hospital environments.
With simple-to-use controls – Tidal Volume, Respiratory Rate, and Pressure Limit – pNeuton A can provide volume-targeted or pressure-limited ventilation. The built-in high output demand flow CPAP system insures critical care ventilation needs are optimized for spontaneous and mandatory breaths.
The pNeuton A is fully pneumatic and operational without the need of batteries or electrical power, helping you care for the most difficult patients, wherever they may be located. It has an integrated all-pneumatic alarm system with remote alarm capability that keeps you alerted to patient circuit disconnects and low gas supply.
Patient Benefits
- Provide invasive or non-invasive patient support
- Low patient Work of Breathing with peak flow of up to 140 L/min to meet patient needs
- 100% or 65% to match patient oxygen requirements
- Switch from mask CPAP to invasive ventilation seamlessly and without interruption
- Low-profile, easy-seal mask reduces facial pressure
Clinician Benefits
- Calibrated CPAP and oxygen controls for easy operation
- MRI conditional up to 3 T – place right next to the scanner with remote alarm output for the control room
- Built-in CPAP/PEEP system with automatic sensitivity for changing patient needs; no need for external CPAP valves
- Manometer to monitor patient pressure and effort
- Monitor CO2 with invasive/non-invasive ventilation
- Use the Safe-T-Vent Medication Nebulizer System and fill the nebulizer without losing CPAP
- Use the bacteria / viral filter to protect caregiver from patient exhilation
- Built-in patient disconnect alarm with remote output to nurse call systems
- Oxygen powered – no batteries to change
- Rugged and lightweight (6.5 lbs / 3 kg)
Benefits for your Budget
- Two oxygen levels; conserve oxygen with 65% setting
- 60-minute CPAP run time on a “E” cylinder
- Demand flow CPAP system with minimal wasted oxygen
- Standardized economical patient circuits save on operating costs
- No batteries or electronics decrease maintenance cost
