The device addresses the dangers associated with bagging patients and frees up a responder to address other injuries, perform compressions, attend to other patients or further assist in transporting the patient.
The SAVe is a hands free, compact, lightweight and solid ventilator with alarms and safety features, not found elsewhere at its price. It uses a pump to deliver a 600ml tidal volume and fixed respiratory rate of 10BPM, in compliance with the American Heart Association, reducing operator error and eliminating the guesswork associated with bagging a patient.
The SAVe accepts supplemental low pressure oxygen but does not require compressed gas to ventilate the patient. Ventilation can be provided through the included mask or the SAVe can be connected directly to an endotracheal tube or other airway adjunct. The SAVe operates up to 5.5 hours on a single battery charge and may be recharged from a standard AC outlet. It’s a set flow, time cycled, volume targeted, pressure limited (38 cmH2O) device. The SAVe is perfect for the needs of field medics, mass casualty incident coordinators and EMS professionals.
