Mechanical ventilators

Development of Pulmonary Ventilators

Altus technology was selected by one of our certified integrators to develop two models of mechanical ventilators designed for use in emergency rooms and Intensive Care Units (ICUs).

Mechanical ventilators powered by Altus technology

Nesta aplicação, o CLP XP é responsável pelo controle de todos os equipamentos eletroeletrônicos e eletropneumáticos presentes nos respiradores mecânicos, bem como a interface de usuários, alarmes e comunicação com a IHM P2, também fornecida pela Altus. A arquitetura tem como finalidade garantir o funcionamento de todos os modos de ventilação e premissas do ventilador pulmonar.

Besides being a locally manufactured product, the key reasons Altus equipment was chosen for this project were the excellent cost-efficiency of the Xpress PLC family and the fast, reliable support provided by our Technical Assistance teams.

Equipamento compacto e de alto desempenho

Compact, high-performance equipment

In addition to their lower production costs, Altus-powered ventilators also stand out for their reduced noise levels and lightweight design, with each unit weighing approximately 16 kilograms.

Another standout feature is their battery autonomy. These ventilators can operate for up to six hours on a single charge, making them ideal for deployment in remote care facilities or emergency settings such as field hospitals.

For the ICU model, which includes more advanced features, the ventilators meet a long-standing request from doctors and nurses: simplifying procedures.

Enhanced safety features to save lives

Patients are connected to a ventilator through a flexible tube known as a "trachea." In the event of cardiac arrest, this connection typically must be removed so a healthcare professional can attach a manual resuscitator (Ambu bag) to provide ventilation while another performs chest compressions.

This process can lead to a critical time delay. To address this issue, an emergency button was added to the ventilators, which activates a specific ventilation mode within milliseconds. This eliminates the need to disconnect the endotracheal tube and attach the manual resuscitator, as well as the need for two specialists to handle a patient in cardiac arrest.
