Vyaire CareFusion Avea Ventilator

The Vyaire CareFusion Avea ventilator provides comprehensive critical care ventilation for the smallest patients in the NICU to children and adults with complex respiratory diseases. The Vyaire CareFusion AVEA ventilator provides invasive and noninvasive ventilation for all patients types. Volumetric Capnography and Transpulmonary Pressure Monitoring, in the Vyaire Avea ventilation system, has the capability to bring clinicians and hospital management actionable information to help better address clinical and operational challenges in patient care.

The Avea comprehensive ventilator has integrated BiCore technology for advanced pulmonary monitoring. Front panel connection ports are provided for esophageal balloon catheters, tracheal catheters and proximal low sensors. Heliox administration, Pflex, nCPAP and the unique scroll pump compressor come as standard features.

• Precision gas delivery system supplies accurate volumes.
• Active exhalation valve on the AVEA ventilator promotes ventilator synchrony and comfort for your patients.
• Volumetric Capnography gives clinicians more accurate tools to aid in quicker reaction during critical situations.
• Accurate esophageal pressure measurements.
