Background
The Smiths PneuPAC ventiPAC 200D is a portable emergency ventilator meant for use on patients of any age. With an economic design, it can be used in extreme conditions, and is meant for use in toxic environments and for long distance transportation. It can offer 100% oxygen or can be used to wean patients back to normal breathing. The ventiPAC also meets the standards of the European Directive for Medical Devices 93/42/EEC.
This device is meant for emergency responders, trained hospital workers, respiratory therapists, and military. It can be used in the hospital, but is meant especially for ambulances, aircraft, toxic environments, and in MRI scanners. After the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, the manufacturers, Smiths Medical, made the ventilator available to other producers to increase the availability of this resource when it was most needed.
