FEATURES & BENEFITS |
 |
| The Seamless Solution, TBird
is a revolutionary ventilatory system designed to stay with your patient throughout the
continuum of care. Employing a revolutionary turbine technology in a compact, durable and
lightweight package, TBird provides uninterrupted mechanical ventilation for your
critically ill patient. There is no need to change ventilators or require additional
staff. No longer do you need separate ventilators for acute care, transport and step down.
Just one TBird performs all of these jobs. Since one system performs so many functions,
costs can be lower, equipment inventories can be reduced, training simplified and,
potentially, fewer complications can occur. |

PATENTED TURBINE TECHNOLOGY
Unlike most ICU ventilator systems that depend on an air
compressor or a piped air system, TBird VSO2-VS is self-contained. Its powerful turbine technology provides
excellent gas delivery without a need for a compressed air source. This revolutionary new
turbine together with an internal and optional external battery allow the system to be
completely independent and mobile. |
JUST RIGHT FOR SUBACUTE
ICU CAPABILITIES BEYOND THE ICU
When patients move from the ICU to an alternate care
facility, referring physicians demand sophisticated modalities. The TBird VS and VS02 incorporate the powerful
features of ICU ventilators. High flow capabilities can meet the needs of critically ill
patients with high inspiratory demands. Tidal volume ranges, from 50 to 2,000 ml's,
accommodate a wide range of patients from 10 kg to the largest adult. Pressure support
ventilation and flow support can minimize patient dys-synchrony. |
COMPREHENSIVE PATIENT MONITORING
The TBird VS and VS02
provide eight monitored parameters which include: |

Patient safety
The/TBird/VS/and/VSO2/include/important/safety/features:
- Apnea backup ventilation automatically activates whenever
patient apnea is detected.
- Internal battery provides emergency power during temporary
power outage, or battery power during short duration transport.
- Optional external battery provides additional power for
longer transports, and facilitates patient mobility.
- Locking mechanism prevents accidental changes to control
settings.

ENHANCED USER INTERFACE
TBird is designed with the user in mind. The pressure
manometer bar graph displays real time pressure readings as well as high and low pressure
alarm settings. Its color-coded controls and displays are easy to read and set. The
central control knob provides one-button operation. |
VS02
OXYGEN BLENDING
The only difference between the TBird VS and VS02 models is the method in which oxygen is applied. On the VS model,
the oxygen blending is controlled with a standard flow regulator. Oxygen is introduced to
the ventilator through the 02 inlet port, allowing the ventilator to deliver oxygen from a low flow 02 source. The VS02 is equipped with an internal
oxygen blender allowing pressurized oxygen to be connected directly to the unit. Two
fittings are provided which allow the option of a seamless transition from one oxygen
source to another. |
FLEXIBLE
MOUNTING OPTIONS
Both the TBird VS and VS02 can be mounted in a variety of ways including on a table top, stand or transport
stand. Or they can simply rest on a bed, nightstand or base of a wheelchair. |

THE
SEAMLESS SOLUTION FOR ALL ENVIRONMENTS
The TBird VS and VS02
offer it all: ICU performance, mobility, flexible mounting options, safety and economy. To
take your patient seamlessly through the continuum of care, nothing performs like TBird |
