1 Introduction
The iVent
201
is a compact, portable, fully-featured,
microprocessor-controlled ventilator offering the versatility and
capability of larger and costlier ventilators. A turbine-powered
air source and a rechargeable internal battery provide freedom
from wall air and power outlets. An intuitive turn-and-click
control knob, quick-choice pushbuttons, and a bright, well-
organized, easy-to-read screen allow rapid control and
continuous real-time monitoring of patient ventilation. Alarm
settings are fully adjustable. Optional Waveform and
Diagnostic Software package displays pressure and flow
waveform data, loops, trends, and logged totals in a full array
of graphical and numerical modes.
