Dräger CF 800: Reliable Respiratory Support Tailored for Intensive Care
The Dräger CF 800 is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation device specifically designed for managing patients capable of spontaneous breathing. It operates on the principle of continuous flow of oxygen and medical air, maintaining constant pressure in the airways to enhance oxygenation and reduce the patient's respiratory effort. Suitable for various medical contexts, it is used in resuscitation, intensive care units, perioperative settings, and emergency departments. Its pneumatic system ensures effective pressure stabilization and protection against unwanted variations.
The device incorporates a pressure regulator and a relief valve limited to 30 mbar to prevent overpressure risks. In case of gas supply failure, a backup valve allows the patient to continue breathing by drawing in ambient air. An integrated reservoir ensures a smooth and continuous airflow, providing stable and effective ventilation.
Its design accommodates multiple accessories tailored for patient monitoring and comfort, such as a thermometer for controlling the temperature of the inspired air, a humidifier to prevent dryness of the airways, and an oxygen sensor to monitor O2 concentration. The optional addition of a pneumatic nebulizer facilitates the administration of aerosol treatments.
The CF 800 is designed to meet the demands of both hospital and ambulatory environments. Its compact format makes it easy to transport and install in various clinical settings. It is compatible with rail-mounted systems, facilitating integration into care units.
Its operation relies solely on a pneumatic system, eliminating dependence on electrical power. The absence of an integrated monitoring system means its use requires regular supervision by medical personnel, particularly to identify any flow interruptions, leaks, or malfunctions.
Its robust and reliable design makes it an essential tool for managing patients under respiratory support, especially in situations where non-invasive ventilation is preferred. The device is designed to minimize inspiratory resistance, reducing the patient's respiratory fatigue.
Its intuitive interface and high-quality components enable quick familiarization and effective use by healthcare professionals. It is particularly suited for resuscitation services, continuous care units, and emergency interventions where immediate respiratory support is necessary.
