Covid-19 Emergency Ventilators
Ventiv is being brought to market through a consortium including MIT and Vecna Cares/Vecna Technologies to help fill the gap in the availability of ventilators in the US.
Funds are needing to build and rapidly deploy units based on forecasted shortfall.
The Ventiv system used in conjunction with a manual resuscitator bag (not provided) is intended to provide controlled or assisted automated ventilation support to patients in an emergency when no other options are available for patient ventilation. Ventiv provides continuous positive pressure ventilation by automating the compression/ relaxation of manual bag resuscitators.
Healthcare workers can quickly deploy the Ventiv System by inserting a manual resuscitator bag between the unit paddles, powering up the unit, selecting the ventilator parameters for desired respiratory rate, volume and I/E ratio, and then connecting the patient breathing circuit to the unit.
The Ventiv System automates the compression and for delivering the patient with oxygen, air, or a mixture of both to COVID 19 patients.
The Ventiv system provides alerts to notify practitioners in the event of unusual resistance in the breathing tube or patient airway, disconnections or leaks within the breathing tube, or the delivery of air at a pressure higher than 40 cmH20 to mitigate the risk of barotrauma (lung damage). Medical staff can intervene to halt the operation of the Ventiv system at any time to provide manual resuscitation using the manual resuscitation bag to deliver ventilation to the patient.
The Ventiv system will be shipped with a backup power supply to provide extended delivery of power in the event of on-premise power failure.
