I. GENERAL
A. INTENDED USE
The model MVP-10 Ventilator is for respiratory support of neonatal and pediatric
patients both in hospital and during transport. It is intended primarily for use in all
applications requiring tidal volumes in the range up to 660 milliliters. It may be used
with a wide range of I/E ratios, including inspiratory time greater than expiratory
time.
WARNING:
Do not use in an MRI room unless the MVP-10 has been built by Bio-
Med Devices for such an environment. This will be indicated by an MR-conditional
plaque on
top of the unit and an “M” at the end of the serial number.
B. MODES OF OPERATION
It is a continuous flow Ventilator which may be used in any of the following operation
modes:
Time cycled, with volume or pressure limitation, with or without Positive End
Expiratory Pressure (PEEP).
-Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (IPPV).
-Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV).
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP).
Continuous Oxygen Administration (COAD) or constant flow.
C. FEATURES
Portable: compact and light weight
May be hand carried or attached to incubator; used without interruption
during transportation; compatible with masks, tents, and endotracheal tubes.
Gas Powered: portable pressurized tank or wall outlet, providing 50 PSI
oxygen or air.
Operable in Hazardous Areas: non-electric, no shock hazard, case
constantly self-purged.
High Reliability: controlled by miniature pneumatic logic elements; fail-safe
maximum pressure limits; negligible frictional wear.
Very low compliance and dead space factors.
Prevention of CO

build-up by constant flow wash-out.
Readily usable with standard accessory humidifier, oxygen blender, oxygen
analyzer and pressure alarms.
