Full Description

For patients who rely on a ventilator every day, a more mobile life means better quality of life. The PLV Continuum II ventilator provides five ventilation modes in a small, light weight system that supports patient mobility. With integrated side rails for wheelchair compatibility and a shoulder strap for walking, ventilator-dependent patients can maintain many activities inside and outside the home. For added freedom, a built-in PEEP valve allows for a lighter patient circuit, and when used with flow triggering, this feature makes the PLV Continuum II a more comfortable choice for many patients.

The PLV Continuum II includes a full range of features that simplify life for pediatric and adult patients, as well as their physicians and health care providers. The PLV Continuum II delivers both pressure control ventilation (PCV) and volume control ventilation (VCV). With the ability to store and easily switch between primary and secondary settings, the PLV Continuum II simplifies life for patients who have changing ventilation needs throughout the day.
