INTENDED PURPOSE
The CARAT II pro ventilator may be used for life-sustaining ventilation and, when
using a two-tube system, provides continuous respiratory support and ventilation
of patients without spontaneous respiration.
When using a single-tube system, the CARAT II pro may only be used for non-life-
sustaining ventilation and provides intermittent respiratory support and ventilation of
patients who demonstrate sufficient spontaneous breathing.
The device is suitable for adults and children from a tidal volume of 50 ml and higher
and can be used in home health care and/or in professional healthcare facilities.
It must not be used for intensive care ventilation.
The CARAT II pro is not suitable for use in vehicles, airplanes and helicopters.
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The blower sucks in the ambient air via a filter and conveys it at the set pressure
via a single line patient circuit with exhalation valve or with a double line patient
circuit to the patient. The ventilation can be invasive (e.g. via a tracheostomy) or
non-invasive (via a mask).
Ventilation is based on ventilation parameters which are set using the controls.
Ventilation can be monitored on the display using the measurements and graphs.
If the alarm parameters which have been set and stored in the device are breached,
visual and acoustic alarms are emitted. If the prescribed ventilation is no longer
possible due to a technical error, an alarm will sound for at least 2 minutes.
If the CARAT II pro is operated with an internal battery, it can continue to be
operated without any interruption in the event of a power failure.
For ventilation with an increased oxygen concentration, the CARAT II pro can
be connected to a low-pressure oxygen source. If oxygen is introduced and the
ventilation is not running, the oxygen supply is interrupted by a safety valve. Residual
oxygen can escape from the device via the oxygen outlet.
Furthermore, it is also possible to combine the CARAT II pro with an external
humidifier.
The therapy and statistic data can be evaluated with the PC software "easySET".
The CARAT II pro has a USB port and a COM port for service purposes.
