A Compact Device that Packs a Big Punch

Having one compact device that does the job of multiple other pieces of equipment—and does it well—is sort of like finding the Holy Grail in EMS. No special quest is required though to take advantage of all the pNeuton model S transport ventilator from Airon has to offer.

John Logan, director of Community LifeTeam, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinnacle Health System, Harrisburg, PA, says his organization began using the pNeuton S several years ago when they were looking for a device that provided CPAP as well as transport ventilation capabilities. What they found in the pNeuton S was an ideal device for prehospital care.

“The quality and simplicity of it was that it could be easily purchased, it came contained in one unit with its own bag and hoses, it was designed to be utilized in an ambulance, the amount of oxygen it utilizes was significantly less than prior devices we had used so it offered cost savings and efficiency, and it was compact, light and required very little teaching time,” Logan explains.

Airon’s pNeuton model S transport ventilator provides adult/pediatric volume or bi-level pressure ventilation and high performance CPAP in EMS environments. Pure pneumatic technology eliminates the need for batteries. And a choice of 100% or 65% oxygen delivery lets you significantly extend transport times—up to 45 minutes on a D cylinder.

Logan adds, the pNeuton S is ideal for his agency because it fills all of its response needs—“it works in an emergency prehospital setting and a transitionary setting, where if we go to a skilled nursing facility we’re able to utilize this device to take a person who requires full-time ventilatory assistance to the hospital to have other respiratory issues treated and bring them back home. It’s a great device because it met numerous needs of a large urban, suburban service and it also met the needs of our prehospital services that were rural as well.”
