O-Two CAREvent ATV, Recertified

The O-Two CAREvent® ATV is an Intermittent Positive Pressure ventilator with independent frequency of ventilation and Minute Volume settings to provide a comprehensive selection of delivered tidal volumes and ventilation rates. The design of the micro-pneumatic circuitry in the Automatic Transport Ventilator maintains a consistent I:E Ratio set at 1:2 throughout the entire setting range. Designed for use by suitably trained personnel in the prehospital, inter-hospital and air ambulance settings. The various modes of operation of the ventilator support the resuscitation and transportation of a wide range of patients (from infants to adults) who require ventilatory support. The added feature of a Manually Actuated, Automatic Ventilation Override Button (Manual Button) to allow the operator to control the ventilations manually if required. In the AUTOmatic mode, the automatic cycling will re-start following manual actuation after a delay of 4 to 7 seconds depending on the selected setting. In the MANual mode the automatic cycling is completely inhibited allowing the operator to fully control the ventilations.Peak airway pressure is operator adjustable to allow for differing patient conditions.The “Demand Breathing” feature allows spontaneously breathing patients to breathe on oxygen through the ventilator. The “Automatic Circuit Shut Off” control will cause the automatic cycling to cease when the patient being ventilated takes a spontaneous breath.

The CAREvent® ATV consists of a ruggedly constructed, portable control module, input hose and optional single use or reusable patient circuit. The ergonomically designed control groupings facilitate the selection and setting of the breathing parameters. The colour groupings provided on the controls add to this ease of use and concept.

The unique pneumatic alarm for low input pressure improves the level of safety for the patient by warning the operator of any problems in the gas supply.

The air mix capability of the ventilator improves the operating time on bottled oxygen for long duration transports. The extremely low drive gas consumption ensures full utilization of the cylinder contents. As an added precaution a replaceable filter is incorporated into the rear of the ventilator to prevent contaminated air entering into the unit when using the air mix mode.

Designed to comply with the latest CPR Guidelines 2000 recommendations of a 15:2 compression:ventilation ratio in the un-intubated patient, the CAREvent® ATV “G2K” model has a 10 second delay to automatic cycling re-start “in any setting”, following manual ventilation actuation, to allow for 15 chest compressions to be provided.
