LungFit PH Product DescriptionThe LungFit PH System generates nitric oxide (NO) from room air and delivers it to a mechanical ventilator breathing circuit in a controlled concentration from 0.1 to 80 ppm NO. The attached nitric oxide delivery module (NDM) measures the gas flow in the ventilator breathing circuit and delivers a controlled flow of nitric oxide enriched gas into the breathing circuit. The device also incorporates a gas monitoring system (with user-set alarms) for measuring the gas concentrations of nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and oxygen (O2) in the ventilator breathing circuit just prior to inhalation by the patient, via a sampling line.The system is comprised of three sub-systems: The NO Generator with the NO2 Filter, the Nitric Oxide Backup and Bagging System, and the Gas Sampling and Monitoring System.
An assembly of devices dedicated to the short-term delivery of precise amounts of nitric oxide (NO), also known as nitrogen monoxide, to the respiratory tract of patients for the treatment of severe respiratory failure, particularly when a primary delivery system cannot be used (functions as a backup system). It typically includes a computerized main unit that delivers NO to gases that are to be breathed by the patient via a ventilator or other respiratory device/system and which also monitors this gaseous mixture, and tubing.
