In assist mode, how does the Ventilator detect a spontaneous breath from the patient?
The X-VENT uses a configurable pressure threshold to detect a breath from the patient. In order for a patient to trigger a spontaneous breath, the breath attempt must meet 4 conditions: Expiratory time must exceed inspiratory time set point. Expiratory pressure must be within +0.3/-0.1 cmH2O of PEEP setting. The difference between measured inspiratory and expiratory …

Can the VENT-LS be used to treat pediatric patients?
The VENT-LS is not currently labeled to treat pediatric patients per the FDA labeling guidelines and regulations. The ventilator is currently labeled with a minimum inspiratory tidal volume of 200 mL.
Is the VENT-LS invasive or noninvasive?
The VENT-LS can provide BOTH invasive and non-invasive therapy as determined by a qualified physician or respiratory therapist.
What is the VENT-LS’s pressure safety release setting?
The VENT-LS has a pressure safety release setting of 50 cmH2O. The clinician can set the max pressure at 40 cmH2O.
What is the VENT-LS inspiratory tidal volume range?
The VENT-LS is designed to handle tidal volumes of up to 1,000mL.
Is exhalation with the VENT-LS active or passive?
