The Medtronic Puritan Bennett 840 Ventilator System is the flagship ventilator model that provides sensitive and precise breathing for critically ill patients under invasive and non-invasive respiration functions.
Cutting Edge in Life-Critical Respiration Technology The Puritan Bennet 840 offers advanced innovations and superior ventilator reliability through the onboard dual microprocessors and high-performance pneumatics. The advanced breathing delivery unit (BDU) and flow sensors deliver metered mandatory or spontaneous breathing at preset concentrations. The system also carries various safety measures, including circuitry fault and inadvertent mode change protections. The machine verifies control parameters and performs automatic self-test protocols to ensure consistent operation within exceptional safety margins. Furthermore, the expiratory filter conducts a heating process that prevents the spread of exhaled viruses and bacteria.
Intuitive User Interface The Puritan Bennet has an intuitive and straightforward experience similar to other systems, ensuring clinicians a familiar and convenient working process. DualView touchscreens display patient data and ventilator operating parameters and allow for easy control and navigation. These screens also have prompt areas for instructions and other assistive texts. Additionally, the Puritan Bennet 840 is compatible with all major hospital information systems. It offers quick electronic data transfers to patient medical records, increasing clinic efficiency and minimizing the risk of manual data entry errors.
Optional Add-ons The ventilator system features excellent customizability to suit the operational requirements. The 806 optional compressor takes the place of an air cylinder in providing compressed air to the BDU. The 802 Backup Power Source delivers DC power to the BDU and graphics interface in an AC power loss event. The Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV+) provides more natural respiration than conventional mechanical ventilators. Also, the NeoMode upgrade kit allows the machine to be specifically suited to provide assisted breathing for critically ill infant patients.
The Medtronic Puritan Bennett 840 Ventilator System provides a reliable and flexible-use critical care respiratory device trusted by many clinicians and healthcare professionals.
