The Puritan Bennett 980 handles both invasive and noninvasive ventilation across pediatric and adult patients, with clinician-configurable modes that adapt.
The Puritan Bennett 980 handles both invasive and noninvasive ventilation across pediatric and adult patients, with clinician-configurable modes that adapt to individual patient needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. The short version: it synchronizes with patient breathing patterns through advanced flow sensing and offers modes like BiLevel 2.0 and Proportional Assist Ventilation Plus for more responsive care.
Worth noting is the integrated expiratory filtration system that reduces cross-contamination risk between patients, while the standby mode maintains all your settings when you need to pause ventilation but auto-detects when the patient reconnects. The proximal flow sensor gives you accurate measurements of lower flows and tidal volumes, particularly useful for neonatal applications where precision matters most.
The intuitive color touchscreen includes large font options for better visibility during long shifts, and networking capabilities let you interface directly with your EMR systems. Multiple USB ports and HDMI output handle data access and connectivity without workarounds.
