CareFusion has unveiled its new 9.5 pound (4.3 Kg) portable ventilator. The EnVe is a full featured pediatric/adult device that can handle intubated and non-invasive or mask-ventilated patients.
From the product page:
The EnVe™ Ventilator from CareFusion is a comprehensive, full featured pediatric – adult critical care ventilator. The patented ActivCore™ gas delivery system with unprecedented miniaturization allows a single ventilator to deliver true, high-end critical care ventilation – invasive and noninvasively. The modular design of the EnVe system allows you to detach the ventilator and move with your patient through care areas reducing the need for circuit disconnections and maintaining their level of ventilation. With the EnVe Ventilator, your clinicians won’t have to compromise patient safety by changing out ventilators for different treatments. Invasively, the ActivCore system maintains high pressures at high flows for your most critical patients and has the monitoring tools to help you make safe decisions in weaning. For noninvasive treatment use, the delivery device builds flow comfortably and keeps up in the presence of leaks for patient compliance and success.
