Emergency Ventilation with the paraPAC 200D
The paraPAC 200D is a transport and emergency ventilator designed for healthcare professionals responding to critical situations. Specifically developed for ventilating patients in respiratory distress, it is suitable for adults, children, and infants weighing over 5 kg. This device is particularly useful in prehospital settings, ambulances, medical helicopters, and hospital emergency departments.
Powered by a pneumatic supply, it operates exclusively with a compressed gas source and does not require electrical power for ventilation. It features an integrated battery-operated alarm system to signal any anomalies, without affecting the device's performance in case of battery failure. The paraPAC 200D is designed for use in complex environments, including areas with toxic or non-breathable atmospheres, thanks to its 100% oxygen on-demand mode.
One of its main advantages is the CMV/Demand mode, which allows switching between controlled ventilation and spontaneous oxygen demand. When the patient breathes autonomously, the ventilator adjusts its operation, reducing gas consumption and facilitating respiratory weaning. In case of ventilatory insufficiency, the device immediately resumes mechanical ventilation.
Compliant with EN 794-3 standards and the European directive 93/42/EEC, the paraPAC 200D is a preferred choice for medical teams seeking a compact, reliable, and high-performing ventilator in emergency situations. Its robust structure, featuring a thick plastic foam casing and anti-shock mounts, ensures high resistance to impacts and extreme conditions.
Its use in MRI environments (3 Tesla) has been validated, ensuring optimal safety during medical imaging examinations. Specific connectors allow compatibility with various ventilation circuits and standardized medical accessories.
The paraPAC 200D is designed for prolonged use with optimized gas consumption. Its Air Mix mode reduces oxygen consumption by nearly 70% while maintaining a FiO2 level of 45%, thereby extending the autonomy of oxygen cylinders during lengthy interventions.
