Ventilator for the Air Rescue Service
An emergency call comes in: On an offshore platform far from the coast, a worker has suffered a serious accident. The on-site team provides first aid, but rapid transportation to a hospital is required for comprehensive care. In the emergency helicopter, the medical team works hard to keep the patient stable in cramped and difficult conditions.
The air rescue service is under particular time pressure and works in extremely dynamic situations. From serious accidents and acute emergencies to transfer flights, every second counts when it comes to bringing patients safely to hospital in a stable condition.
Medical technology is put to the test in these crucial moments. The devices must be compact, intuitive to operate and totally reliable in order to adapt to the special requirements on board a helicopter or aircraft.
We have developed our MEDUVENT Standard ventilator precisely for these challenges. It allows the rescue team to continue providing care, whether on an offshore platform, in the air or during handover to hospital staff.
Benefits of our ventilators for the air rescue service:
- Compact and light: With a weight of just 2.1 kg and a volume of 3.5 liters, MEDUVENT Standard is one of the smallest and lightest ventilators in the world. Perfect for cramped and hectic conditions on board a helicopter.
- Not dependent on external oxygen sources: Thanks to its integrated turbine technology, the device works without an external compressed gas supply. If necessary, additional oxygen with inspiratory oxygen concentrations of 21% to 100% can be flexibly supplied.
- Long battery runtime: An operating time of up to 7.5 hours allows the device to be used even over long distances.
- Different ventilation modes: The ventilator for the air rescue service supports invasive and non-invasive ventilation modes as well as pressure and volume-controlled ventilation.
- Ideal for extreme conditions: The device is specially designed for the harshest conditions: temperatures from -20 °C to +50 °C, altitudes of up to 5,000 meters and high shock and vibration loads. It meets all the requirements of the air rescue service, including EN 13718-1, RTCA/DO 160G and EN 60601-1-12.
In MEDUVENT Standard, WEINMANN is offering a ventilator capable of mastering the special challenges faced by the air rescue service. So the medical team can concentrate on what’s most important: the patient’s life.
