pNeuton mini Ventilator - Air pressure regulators

pNeuton mini Ventilator for neonatal / infant / child critical life support anywhere

The new pNeuton mini ventilator, a whole new approach to neonatal, infant and pediatric ventilation. A purely pneumatic ventilator that can support patients non-invasively using nasal prongs or masks with CPAP or ventilation + CPAP. The ventilator can also be used with endo-tracheal tubes for full support.

Operates with no electricity – no batteries – just compressed oxygen and air

With a built-in oxygen blender and precise timing and pressure controls the ventilator will do everything standard infant ventilators do, but without the need for electricity or batteries. The ventilator is ideal for transporting patients both within the hospital and via air or ground ambulance. It is fully MRI compatible and can be placed right next to the MRI.

mini, the newest ventilator to expand your care of our most fragile patients from 400 grams to 25 kilograms.

The pNeuton ventilators are critical care devices designed for use by healthcare professionals under the direction of a physician.

Compatiblity with Bunnell Life Pulse High-Frequency Ventilator

The pNeuton Mini Ventilator is fully compatible with the Life Pulse High-Frequency Ventilator from Bunnell Incorporated. It will provide conventional ventilation in tandem with the Life Pulse without interfering with high frequency ventilation or nuisance alarms.

Testing of the Mini Ventilator and the Life Pulse HFV was done by Bunnell personnel at their facility. The Bunnell Life Pulse HFV was connected in tandem with the Mini ventilator to a test lung. Their results were as follows.

• The Life Pulse was first set for PIP 20 cm H2O, Rate 420 bpm, I-time 0.020 sec. There was no noticeable difference in performance of either ventilator. The alarms on the Mini continued to function properly.

• The Mini ventilator was run in both CPAP and IMV + CPAP at a variety of rates, pressures and I-times. The Mini continued to deliver its basic functions with no impact on the functionality of the Life Pulse.

• With the Life Pulse alarms active (Ready), changing the rate and PIP on the Mini significantly always caused the Life Pulse to alarm appropriately for changes in Servo pressure and MAP.

Conclusion:

The Airon pNeuton Mini Transport Ventilator meets the basic conventional ventilator requirements of the Life Pulse HFV. This evaluation does not constitute a validation or endorsement by Bunnell Incorporated.
