Technology
RELAVENT delivers the functionality required to safely and effectively ventilate patients for COVID-19 and numerous other respiratory conditions. It requires minimal user training and technical support.
Design Features
Pressure Regulated Volume Control (PRVC) mode
Breath sensing to assist weaning off from ventilator
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) controllable electronically
Watchdog circuits, alarms, safety cut-offs, and features to help prevent the ventilator damaging patient lungs
Hardware
• Four on-off solenoids
• Two pressure sensors
• 2L pressure reservoir
–Flow measured based on pressure drop across Inhalation Valve
–Control algorithms based on system dynamics with closed-loop refinement
–Novel exhalation control using Exhalation Value (JAMVENT IP)
–Designed for >10 million breaths
Training for users and service engineers
Robust control approaches, simple operation of essential ventilation modes
Minimises gas consumption
Easy to service using locally available parts supply
Manufactured to the highest safety standards as per most expensive ventilators
Low complexity, minimal moving parts – mechanical bag or bellows types offer limited reliability
Software
The graphical user interface is designed to be familiar to clinicians with experience of ICU ventilators, minimising additional time to gain familiarity.
