pNeuton Ventilator 2 - 4
Notes
In the USA the pNeuton Ventilator is a restricted medical
device intended for use by qualified medical personnel
under the direction of a physician.
During the transport of patients it is recommended that an
alternate source of ventilation be available in the event of
driving gas supply failure or ventilator malfunction.
The ventilator will operate normally at altitudes up to
15,000 feet. Changes in altitude will not affect pressure
settings but will cause the delivered tidal volume to
increase and the respiratory rate to decrease as altitude
increases. To compensate for the effect of changing
altitude on tidal volume and respiratory rate, use an
external spirometer to verify tidal volume accuracy.
The
pNeuton Ventilator is MRI Conditional. Non-clinical
testing demonstrated that the pNeuton Ventilator
is MR Conditional and can be used in the MRI
environment according to the following conditions:
- Static magnetic field of 3-Tesla or less
- Maximum spatial gradient magnetic field of 720
Gauss/cm
IMPORTANT NOTE: This product is intended for use
within the MRI environment (e.g., in the MR system room).
It should not be utilized directly inside of the MR system
(e.g., inside of the bore of the scanner), during its
operation (i.e., scanning). As such, the assessment of
magnetic field interactions for this product specifically
involved evaluations of translational attraction and function
in relation to exposure to a 3-Tesla MR system only.
Airon recommends that users perform similar tests in their
MRI scanner prior to patient use.
