| Bear Cub (BP 2001) Ventilator | |||
| (Discontinued) | |||
Basic Description | |||
| Manufacturer: | Bear Medical Systems Incorporated | ||
| Ventilator Type: | Positive Pressure Invasive Conventional | ||
| Ventilator Class: | Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Transport CPAP | ||
| Patient Population Range: | Neonatal | ||
Description | |||
| Features: | Adjustable Pressure Limit to prevent high peak airway pressures. Volume Limit ™ to prevent high tidal volume delivery--limits inspiratory tidal volume and has clinician-controlled audible limit alarms. Flow Cycling for improved synchrony--delivers the appropriate inspriatory time for the infant's respiratory dynamics. | ||
Characteristics | |||
| Modes--Invasive: | Pressure-controlled modes --- CMV/IMV Supplemental modes --- CPAP (not controlled) | ||
| Waveforms: | Pressure: Exponential; Flow: Rectangular | ||
| Operating Range of Controls: | Oxygen%; 21% to 100%; PEEP/CPAP: 0 to 20 cmH2O (uncalibrated knob); Pressure Limit: 0 to 72 cmH2O; Flow: 3 to 30 L/min; Inspiratory Time: 0.1 to 3.0 seconds; Ventilator Rate: 1 to 150 breaths/minute; Lamp Battery Test, CPAP, CMV/IMV; Ventilator Rate: 1 to 150 cycles/minute | ||
| Power: | |||
| Other Characteristics: | The Bear Cub also monitors inspiratory time, exhalation time, and I:E ratio. | ||
