The 73X is the first affordable, portable ventilator designed for transport,
surge and mass casualty care.
The Model 73X is a portable ventilator intended for use in mass casualty incidents (MCI) that fills a marketplace need that begs for a low-cost MCI portable ventilator that has its own internal compressor. Medical care and patient safety is enhanced by a comprehensive alarm system that monitors power, gas supply, patient disconnect, airway pressure and the ventilating system.
The Model 73X is the first self-contained portable ventilator developed specifically for transport and mass casualty care. The likelihood that limited oxygen supplies will deplete during a mass casualty incident makes the need for an alternative gas source imperative. As a result, the "X" may be used with external oxygen but more importantly it is operable via its own internal compressor. In addition, the "X" automatically switches to compressor operation should oxygen supplies become exhausted and simultaneously triggers an alarm to alert the caregiver.
The "X" has a simple user interface that's easily managed by personnel with limited mechanical ventilation experience. It uses adult and pediatric disposable circuits, operates for about six hours between battery recharges, interfaces with industry-standard HEPA or chemical/biologic filters, and includes a digital airway pressure display, alarms suite, airway pressure limiting, continuous operation from external power, and more.
