Designed for Combat Medics where size, weight and extreme ease of use are paramount, the SAVe II improves triage capabilities and elevates the standard of care in the pre-hospital environment.  Simply select the height of the patient and the device dials in a preset tidal volume based on the patient’s Ideal Body Weight.  This helps reduce operator error and eliminate the guesswork associated with bagging in a high stress environment or setting up an overly complicated transport vent and frees up the medic to treat other injuries, assist other patients or pack the patient for transport.  This 2.7 lb device runs for a remarkable 10 hours on a single charge.  To receive additional information or to arrange a demonstration of the device.

The SAVe II uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery driven pump to deliver ambient air for up to 10 hours.  Simply select the height of the patient and the device dials in a ARDSNet Protocol recommended tidal volume based on the patient’s ideal body weight.  A respiratory rate is selected that generates a minute volume of 5-6.5 LPM depending on the size of the patient. Adjustments to rate, volume, peak inspiratory pressure and PEEP can be made as necessary. Supplemental O2 can be used to vary FIO2 21-100%.

The SAVe uses a rechargeable lithium battery to drive an internal pump that delivers ambient air for up to 10 hours per charge. The device monitors airway pressure and will cut the pump off at 30 cmH2O.  Alarms for disconnect, high pressure, spontaneous breath and low battery assist the medic in monitoring the patient. The SAVe II does not require O2 to operate but if desired low pressure supplemental air can be titrated to the patient.  It is a time cycle, volume targeted, pressure limited device.
