GE Healthcare Vivo 40 - Manual

To ensure a successful transition from hospital to home,
healthcare providers seek respiratory solutions that can
be trusted, make life easier and enjoy dedicated personal
support. Moreover, serviceability and cost of ownership
must meet increasingly strict demands.
A device you can trust
The Vivo ventilators are well trusted by patients and care givers
as proven by more than 30,000 units sold worldwide. The Vivo 40*
provides both invasive and non-invasive support in PSV, PCV and
CPAP mode. The adult and pediatric modes allow Vivo 40 to be used
by a wide range of patients.
Thanks to eSync*, the highly responsive trigger technology, the Vivo 40
synchronizes smoothly with the patient’s breathing effort, leading to
lower the work of breathing and higher the level of comfort.
The Target Volume feature aims
for a stable tidal volume by auto-
matically adapting the inspiratory
pressure to the lung mechanics of the
patient. Target Volume combines the
comfort and technical advantages
of pressure ventilation with the ease
of use of volume ventilation.
To ensure excellent control of the treatment, there are many ways
to adapt the settings to the need of the individual patient. Apart
from IPAP and EPAP, also rise time, trigger sensitivity and optional
minimal and maximal Inspiratory Time can be set. The maximum
pressure is 40 cm H
2
O which allows for the treatment of challenging
restrictive conditions.
To provide security to patients and caregivers, the Vivo 40 contains a
comprehensive set of alarms and an internal battery for independent
use up to three hours. An external DC connection is available as an
additional power source.
Making life easier for patients and caregivers
The user interface and menu structure of the Vivo 40 are intuitive and
consistent throughout the Vivo range. This makes the Vivo 40 easy to
learn and easy to teach. It facilitates situations where multiple staff
members work with the device. The optional humidifier is completely
regulated through the ventilator and provides additional patient
comfort. If data analysis or reports are required, data can easily be
downloaded to a flash card.
