Breas Medical has received FDA clearance for the Vivo 45 LS, one of the smallest, full-featured life support ventilators on the market providing both invasive and noninvasive continuous or intermittent ventilatory support. The device can be used across the continuum of care, from the home to post-acute, hospital and portable applications, for pediatric through adult patients weighing more than 5 kg (11 lbs).
Designed to maximize patient independence and mobility with an ultra-small footprint, it also provides the comfortable eSync trigger technology along with ultra-quiet operation. It also provides etCO2, SpO2, FiO2 and PtCO2 monitoring and connection to EveryWare by Breas, a securely hosted cloud-based application, which can help deliver an insightful approach to home care of respiratory patients.
