The Sentec IPV-2C is a patient-ready ventilator available for rent from US Med-Equip.
Designed specifically for non-continuous institutional/hospital use, the IPV®-2C is a pressure-limited, flow-interrupted, and time-cycled ventilator which provides TRUE-IPV® therapy, a modality of mechanical ventilation “Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation” (IPV®). IPV®-2C provides high frequency percussive pulses between 60-400 cycles per minute. These high frequency percussive pulses ramify throughout the airways and alveolar ducts and augment diffusive ventilation in the gas exchange regions of the lung, allowing improved FRC, CO₂, removal, airway clearance and lung recruitment. IPV®-2C can also be used in-line with conventional mechanical ventilators, delivering TRUE-IPV® therapy and preventing the need to switch between different devices.
