IVAPs

iVAPS targets alveolar ventilation and maintains it by automatically adjusting pressure support. It offers the comfort and synchrony of pressure support with the assurance of a target volume. Using advanced technology, iVAPS maintains appropriate alveolar ventilation even as the patient’s respiratory needs change.

The iVAPS advantage

• Intelligent: An intelligent Back-up Rate (iBR) provides maximum opportunity for the patient to spontaneously trigger the ventilator while matching the backup breath to the patient’s actual breath when required. Setting the backup rate is simple; the clinician enters the patient’s ‘normal’ spontaneous breath rate, and iBR does the rest.
• Personalized: Using Learn Targets, iVAPS learns the patient’s alveolar ventilation and sets targets accordingly.
• Automatic: iVAPS provides rapid yet gentle automatic pressure support; quick enough to maintain stable alveolar ventilation,
• smooth enough to avoid sleep disruption during nocturnal therapy.
