With its Adaptive Bi-Level capabilities, VersaMed is the first manufacturer to address the need for a functional, reliable and comfortable leak tolerant ventilator specifically designed for face mask, tracheostomy and cuff-less endotrachael tube ventilation.

Adaptive Bi-Level works with a combination of two standard modes of ventilation - a pressure control mode of ventilation, where the end expiratory pressure and inspiratory pressure are specified along with the breath rate (patients can also initiate a breath) and I:E ratio combined with the feature of pressure support ventilation whereby breath termination can be controlled by the patient.

This type of ventilation operates in a leak tolerant mode. This means that the ventilator will provide patient disconnect alarms and PIP and PEEP alarms that are aware of the constant leak associated with non-invasive ventilation.

Adaptive Flow™

Adaptive Flow allows the patient to receive the amount of flow they desire. Adaptive Flow performs 3 functions:

• For a non-breathing patient, Adaptive Flow will utilize the lowest possible peak flow to deliver a breath in the allotted inspiratory time. By delivering the breath at the lowest peak flow the inspiratory pressures for that breath are minimized thus reducing the risk of barotrauma.

• For a spontaneously breathing patient, Adaptive Flow detects and matches the patient ?s natural inspiratory flow rate.

• For timed breaths interspersed with spontaneous breaths adaptive flow delivers the appropriate flow necessary to reach the target volume within the allotted time, while maintaining an I-time that results in an I:E of 1:2.

Adaptive I-Time™

This feature, which can be activated in volume mode, allows the patient to take charge of their inspiratory time while keeping their I:E ratio at 1:2. In this mode, if the patient's rate increases, the ventilator decreases I-Time in an attempt to keep the 1:2 ratio and conversely will increase the I-Time if the rate drops.

The Rise Time is automatic and Adaptive I-Time is generally used in unison with Adaptive Flow. When combined the two features dramatically increase patient comfort by

• Reducing Air Hunger
• Decreasing Dyspnea
• Reducing PIP

Pressure Limited Volume Ventilation

The iVent201 has the capability to limit the delivery pressure of a volume breath. This feature allows the user to set a pressure limit, the pressure a breath will not exceed. This ensures the pressures will remain low enough to protect the lung from barotrauma.

If the target pressure is reached during the inspiratory phase, the ventilator will hold the breath at the set pressure until the I-Time is reached.
