Philips Respironics Esprit

The Philips Respironics Esprit is designed to effectively deliver both invasive and noninvasive ventilation. The Respironics Esprit is a fully integrated ventilator and has specific alarms, making it easy to operate. It’s intended for use by qualified medical personnel to provide continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients as prescribed by a physician.

• Can be operated by AC power, a battery pack, or an external battery.
• Invasive and noninvasive modes.
• Compressor-based ventilator.
• Infrared touchscreen.
