The pNeuton mini ventilator is a new approach to neonatal, infant and pediatric ventilatory support, and accommodates even the most fragile patients from 400 grams to 25 kilograms.
With a built-in oxygen blender, and precise timing & pressure controls, the pNeuton mini matches the complexity of pressure-limited ventilation in standard infant ventilators without the need for electricity or batteries.
A purely pneumatic ventilator supporting patients non-invasively using nasal prongs / masks for CPAP application, or ventilation + CPAP with endotracheal tubes for full support. The ventilator is ideal for transporting patients both within the hospital and via air or ground ambulance.
The pNeuton mini is MRI compatible and can be placed right next to the MRI magnet with a remote alarm for enhanced patient safety.
Patient Benefits
- A wide range of continuous flow settings to provide the right ventilation for the size of your patient with the least amount of expiratory flow resistance
- Adjustable oxygen delivery from 21% to 100% to precisely match patient oxygen requirements
- Switch from CPAP nasal prongs, face mask to invasive ventilation seamlessly and without interruption
- One ventilator with no change in patient circuit wherever patient care and diagnostic procedures are needed
Clinician Benefits
- Calibrated controls for precise and easy operation
- Night visible manometer to monitor patient pressure and effort
- Patient disconnect and high-pressure alarms that work during non-invasive and invasive ventilation
- MRI conditional up to 3 T – place right next to the scanner with remote alarm output for the control room
- • Oxygen powered – no electrical connection or batteries
- Rugged and tested to meet airworthiness standards with everything built-in – no accessories needed
Benefits for your Budget
- Switch from invasive ventilatory support to non-invasive with just a simple change of the patient interface
- Lightweight and portable with attachment to any patient care incubator/bed
- Minimal oxygen consumption to maximize transport times
- No batteries or electronics decrease preventative maintenance costs
