BiPAP Focus: A Reliable Ventilator for Non-Invasive Ventilation
The Respironics BiPAP Focus is a mechanical ventilator designed to provide respiratory assistance to adult patients suffering from respiratory insufficiency and obstructive sleep apnea. This device operates in a bi-level mode, with Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP) and Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP), facilitating ventilation and reducing the patient's respiratory effort. It is suitable for use in hospital settings, sub-acute care, and intra-hospital transport.
The BiPAP Focus stands out for its versatility and compatibility with a wide range of nasal and full-face masks, allowing optimal adaptation to the patient's needs. Its control screen and intuitive interface facilitate the adjustment of ventilation parameters, ensuring effective and personalized care.
This ventilator is electrically powered and features a NiMH backup battery providing 45 minutes of autonomy in case of power failure. Its rapid charging system allows for a full recharge in less than 5 hours. These features ensure continuity of care, even in demanding conditions.
With its various ventilation modes, it allows for tailored patient management with varying needs. Its operation includes a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) mode and an S/T (Spontaneous/Timed) mode with customizable settings for respiratory rate, inspiratory time, and ramp adaptation.
In terms of maintenance, the BiPAP Focus is designed for easy upkeep. It incorporates replaceable filters, a monitoring system for internal components, and simplified access to various parts of the device. Its filtration system ensures high efficiency in protecting against bacteria and viruses.
Regarding safety, this medical device is equipped with several visual and audible alarms that signal any malfunction, such as pressure loss, insufficient volume, or battery issues. It complies with current safety standards and meets the requirements of international regulations for ventilation devices.
Compact and lightweight (4.5 kg), the BiPAP Focus is designed for easy portability. It can be used in intra-hospital transport due to its technical features and integrated backup battery. Its robust and reliable design makes it suitable for demanding care environments, ensuring effective respiratory assistance in all circumstances.
