Product
PVA, PREVENT is an FDA-authorized emergency ventilator designed to treat patients suffering from COVID-19 respiratory failure. This motorized device automatically compresses a resuscitator bag to provide air to the lungs of a COVID-19 patient, eliminating the human error and fatigue that results from manual actuation. PREVENT is indicated for emergency resuscitation with appropriate patient monitoring on adult patients that require mechanical respiratory support.
