The Viasys Vela runs entirely on turbine power, which means it doesn’t need wall air and won’t shut down during transport or emergency moves.
The Viasys Vela runs entirely on turbine power, which means it doesn’t need wall air and won’t shut down during transport or emergency moves. Unlike bellows ventilators that tie you to infrastructure, this unit delivers consistent pressure support whether you’re in the ICU, during interfacility transport, or dealing with a wall air failure.
Integrated FiO2 monitoring gives you real-time oxygen concentration readings with automatic alarms, so you’re not flying blind on mix ratios. The 10.4-inch color touchscreen adapts its interface based on what mode you’re running, and the Bicore sensor technology actually measures delivered volumes rather than estimating them. Worth noting: the six-hour battery means you won’t be hunting for outlets during long transports.
Multiple connectivity options let you dump data directly to printers or hook up to central monitoring systems through standard VGA and serial connections. The linear-actuated exhalation valve responds faster than traditional mechanisms, giving you better PEEP control across pediatric through adult patient ranges.
