I don’t remember when the last time I mentioned medical gadgets in this lovely blog. But one post that I remember well until now is Zeno – the medical gadget for acne treament, that was published more than 4 years ago. And now I’ll be back again with another madical gadget, the portable ventilator from Covidien. The Puritan Bennett 520 portable ventilator is already available since January 20 in the Europian Union.
Offering reliable mobile respiratory support for adult and pediatric patients who require mechanical ventilation for portions of the day or night or need transitional ventilator support, the Puritan Bennett 520 ventilator is compact, lightweight (4.5 kg) and portable. It also allows clinicians and caregivers to view, analyze and archive up to 12 months of detailed patient trend data and detailed waveforms, thanks to the the system’s Puritan Bennett Respiratory Insight software. Other highlights include: A sensitive and adjustable flow trigger, Automatic valve-detection, Bacterial filters, and Expiratory filtration.
