Here is a handy device that the aged and the ones lacking in oxygen are sure to want. Covidien has launched a light and handy ventilator that is suitable for people who have problems sleeping. The quiet, lightweight Bennett 540 portable ventilator runs on a lithium-ion battery that provides up to 11 hours (depending on settings and other factors) of power and features a real-time battery life indicator that is a significant technological advancement.
The indicator displays remaining battery life in hours and minutes, instead of as a percentage of charge, eliminating guesswork about when the ventilator needs to be connected to a power source for recharging.
The portability, long battery life and ease of use of the Puritan Bennett 540 ventilator enables a ventilator-dependent patient to pursue daily activities with confidence and peace of mind, ultimately enhancing quality of life.
The Puritan Bennett 540 ventilator can be used by patients of all ages — adults, children and infants as small as 11 pounds. The device is ideal for intra-hospital transport and for use in long-term care facilities, as well as in long-term home care.
