Model A Ventilator

About

Critical Care Adult or Pediatric Ventilator for the ER, OR, ICU, MRI, and Intra-Hospital Transport.

The pNeuton Model A Ventilator with built-In CPAP is your one go-to device for critical care adult or pediatric ventilatory support in a variety of hospital environments including ER and trauma, MRI, OR, ICU, and intra-hospital transport.

Fully pneumatic and able to operate without the need of batteries or electrical power, the pNeuton A can help you care for the most difficult patients wherever they may be located. Non-invasive or invasive ventilation broadens the clinical application and prepares you to meet your patients’ needs during transport.

With simple-to-use controls – Tidal Volume, Respiratory Rate, and Pressure Limit – pNeuton A provides volume-targeted or pressure-limited ventilation. The built-in high output demand flow CPAP system ensures critical care ventilation needs are optimized for spontaneous and mandatory breaths.

The pNeuton A also has an integrated all-pneumatic alarm system with remote alarm capability to alert you to patient circuit disconnects and low gas supply from bedside to MRI observation room and back to the patient bedside.
