Device description
The LM 2000 humidifies and warms the breathing
gas mixture administered to the patient by
transferring heat to the sterile water in the water
chamber. The water chamber is inserted onto the
heating plate of the humidifier; the water in the water
chamber is heated by the heating plate.
The LM 2000 can be used in both invasive and non-
invasive ventilation thanks to the possibility of
regulating the temperature of the inhaled gases.
The LM 2000 humidifier automatically controls the
temperature and humidity of the gas by means of two
temperature sensors located at the outlet of the
water chamber and close to the patient. This ensures
correct and safe gas administration to the patient.
The LM 2000 provides an automatic safety
mechanism that intervenes in the event of absence,
interruption or sudden change in gas flow by carefully
controlling the power supplied to the hot plate and
heated ventilation tube, therefore preventing
potentially dangerous overheating situations.
The humidifier is also equipped with an automatic
control system that prevents the formation of
condensation in the airways in any operating
situation.
