Start up more quickly and ventilate more accurately
From now on, you no longer need to spend time considering which tidal volume and
which respiratory rate (Vt) is best suited to your patient. With MEDUVENT Standard,
you can now start ventilation even more accurately and quickly. When you enter the
patient’s height and gender, your ventilator automatically calculates all the ventilation
parameters via ideal body weight (IBW). IBW is an important indicator for setting
ventilation parameters

Risk of injury resulting from incorrectly set limitation of maximum airway pressure!
An excessively high airway pressure might expose the patient to serious or life-
threatening injury.
Always set the pressure limit pMax to suit the current patient and the current
therapy.
