Asynchrony management

Help reduce asynchrony with IE Sync™ software.1 Part of our synchrony suite with PAV+™ software and Leak Sync software, IE Sync™ software provides multiple benefits, including:

  • Improved triggering during air trapping1
  • Enhanced ventilator synchrony for patients with airflow obstruction and weak inspiratory efforts1

Contact us to request the IE Sync™ software

Recommended for:
Longer-term patients

Enhanced asynchrony management§

Your longer-term patients with chronic lung issues, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), often have unpredictable breathing patterns. You need ventilator technology that can respond to their asynchrony and help liberate them from the ventilator quickly.

Upgrade now

High-flow oxygen therapy

Enhance comfort for patients who may benefit from HFO2T software.2 This therapy delivers oxygen at higher flow rates than traditional oxygen therapy to help improve oxygenation. This option is available for neonatal and paediatric patients with flow rates up to 50 L/min, and for adult patients with flow rates up to 80 L/min.

Recommended for:
Longer-term patients, acute patients, non-intubated NICU patients

Acute patients

Enhanced lung injury protection||

When a patient has suffered from a sudden lung injury, you want ventilator support to be as short as possible. You need ventilator technology that helps you monitor their progress and quickly gets them back to normal breathing on their own.

NICU patients

Enhanced neonatal lung protection|| 

When your smallest patients require a ventilator, you want to avoid invasive interventions. You need ventilator technology that helps you manage leaks and monitor the actual pressure applied to the neonate's airway to achieve synchrony and avoid unnecessary intubation. For neonatal patients requiring intubation, you need tools to carefully intervene and protect tiny, fragile airways.

Longer-term patients

Enhanced asynchrony management§

It is often necessary to use ventilator technology that can correspond to unpredictable breathing patterns in patients with chronic lung diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Lung protection management

Assess pressure delivery for your ARDS patients with PDRIVE software. This new displayed value in the patient data section quantifies the driving pressure (ΔP = VT/CRS), which may guide you in assessing the severity of the lung disease.3 It can also provide a means to titrate optimal delivered pressure while staying within safe published guidelines.4

Recommended for:
Acute patients

Enhanced lung injury protection||

A patient who has suffered from a sudden lung injury should have ventilator support for a short a time as possible. You need ventilator technology that allows you to track their progress and provide them with the support they need to return to normal breathing as quickly as possible.

Upgrade now

Interface pressure monitoring

Monitor pressure at the patient interface with NIV+ software. This software measures end inspiratory interface pressure and interface PEEP pressure to help reduce the uncertainty around pressure delivery to the patient. It also provides a more robust means of determining circuit disconnect, especially when leaks are present.

Contact us to request the NIV+ software

Recommended for:
Non-intubated NICU patients

Enhanced neonatal lung protection||

Whenever possible, neonates should should be ventilated without invasive interventions. In order to achieve synchrony and avoid unnecessary intubation, ventilator technology needs to help you monitor leaks and pressure applied to the neonate's airway.

Upgrade now    

Remote monitoring

Monitor all your ventilated patients with the Vital Sync™ remote monitoring system.‡ This simplified platform helps you monitor your patients’ ventilator data from anywhere in your hospital. Quickly access the information you need to determine necessary interventions to support adequate respiratory function and facilitate multidisciplinary care.

Contact us to request the Vital Sync™ software
Recomended for: All patients

Infectious patients

Enhanced caregiver protection

Keeping your clinicians safe is critical when caring for infectious patients. You need ventilator technology that can help you manage isolated patients on ventilators while minimizing your staff’s exposure.

Longer-term patients

Enhanced asynchrony management§

Long-term lung patients, such as those with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) often have unpredictable respiration patterns. You need ventilator technology that can adjust to their asynchrony and help them escape the ventilator quickly.

Acute patients

Enhanced lung injury protection||

A patient who has suffered from a sudden lung injury needs ventilator support as short as possible. Technology that helps monitor their progress and return them to normal breathing is essential.

NICU patients

Enhanced neonatal lung protection|| 

It is important to avoid unnecessary intubations when your smallest patients require a ventilator. You need ventilator technology that helps you manage leaks and monitor the actual pressure applied to the neonate's airway.
