Automatic Breathing Unit - ABU
ABU is a CE-marked medical device that transforms the traditional AMBU device into a real mechanical ventilator, for ICU, through the implementation of advanced flux and pressure sensors and a high-precision feedback system. ABU can be used for both invasive and non-invasive ventilation.
Covid-19 emergency
ABU functions as a highly flexible tool for the management of patients in different phases of treatment.
Entering ICU
Facilitates the critical first phase of ventilation to intubated patients waiting for a standard ventilator.
Discharge from ICU
Provides extubated patients with assisted breathing while they resume normal breathing (weaning post-ARDS).
ABU IS IDEAL FOR EMERGENCY SCENARIOS WHERE THE SET UP OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION IS COMPLEX.
ABU allows users to electronically monitor and control the following functions
- PEEP
- Peak Inspiratory Pressure
- Airflow
- Breathing frequency
- I:E ratio
- Tidal volume
- Plateau Pressure
- Support Pressure
- FiO2 (21%, 45%, 99%).
- Assisted ventilation
- Connection to centralized alarm system
- Data transfer
- Battery autonomy: 1,30 h.
- Touch screen 7” interface
It is possible to use the device in trigger mode for weaning the patient during recovery until normal breathing is achieved.
