Features

• The VELA enables clinicians to customise a patient’s ventilation treatment strategy by monitoring their specific pulmonary function and structure parameters.
• Operating modes standard model include: Assist/Control, SIMV, CPAP and PSV
• Operating modes comprehensive model include: Assist/Control, SIMV, CPAP/PSV, NPPV (AC, SIMV, CPAP/PSV), PRVC
• Includes: Synchronised Nebuliser, 100% oxygen for 3 minutes (suctioning), Built-in turbine provides air source and very high flow rates (up to 180 lpm), Flow trigger to reduce work-of-breathing, Inspiratory/Expiratory Hold, Incorporated Fi02 Monitoring, Sigh & Manual breath and PEEP.
• The VELA offers a range of safe ventilator weaning tools.
• The internal turbine removes the requirement for a compressed air source allowing reliable intra-hospital transport of the VELA without the need for bulky air cylinders.
• With its ergonomic design the VELA is intuitive, easy to use, maintain and clean.

Benefits

• Intuitive user interface facilitates ease of use.
• Operates independent of air sources for greater flexibility.
• No scheduled maintenance of the turbine maintains a low cost of ownership.
