DESCRIPTION

The Aequitron LP-10 is a portable volume ventilator manufactured by Nellcor Puritan Bennett (now Mallinckrodt). It is similar in appearance and function to the Aequitron LP-6+, both having event indicators which monitor patient pressure, breathing effort, power source, and alarms. The LP-10 has an additional pressure limit control feature which permits it to be used for pediatric applications.              The durable LP-10 portable volume ventilator has a reputation for dependability. Its standard features and portability give the LP10 ventilator the flexibility to meet a broad range of pediatric and adult ventilation requirements. The LP10 ventilator has a pressure control cycle for pressure-limited, time-cycled ventilation. Decreased internal resistance reduces breathing effort in SIMV mode. With the LP10 ventilator, expanded alarms provide reliable patient management.
