CAREvent MRI is pneumatically powered, time/volume cycled, intermittent positive pressure patient ventilators specifically designed for use by trained personnel in the pre-hospital, hospital, interhospital and air ambulance environments. It has independent controls for minute volume and frequency that provide a comprehensive range of 12 ventilation frequencies and 12 minute-volume settings. This provides a possible 144 combinations of delivered tidal volume and respiratory rate. The various modes of operation of the ventilators support the resuscitation and transportation of a wide range of patients (from infants to adults).The CAREvent MRI contains no ferrous metals and is suitable for use in a three-Tesla MRI environment.
A pneumatically-powered, lightweight device that is easily moved/mounted and used to provide long-term alveolar ventilation support for patients who do not require complex critical care ventilation. It typically uses positive pressure to deliver gas to the lungs at normal breathing rates and tidal volumes through an endotracheal (ET) tube, tracheostomy cannula, or mask. It includes a control system and alarms, sometimes with additional features (e.g., humidification). Several methods of cycling and ventilation modes may be used. It is typically used in the home, but may also be used in an extended care facility, and/or by emergency medical services (EMS).
