the V60 Plus Ventilator are not available in all countries.

hospital or other institutional settings under the direction of a physician.
The Respironics V60/V60 Plus ventilator is intended to support pediatric
patients (children and adolescents, weighing 20 Kg (44 lb) or greater), and
adult patients. It is also intended for intubated patients meeting the same
selection criteria as the noninvasive applications. The ventilator is intended to
be used by qualified medical professionals, such as physicians, nurses, and
respiratory therapists. The ventilator is intended to be used only with various
combinations of Philips-recommended patient circuits, interfaces (masks),
humidifiers, and other accessories.
