Aeolus

Aeolus is Medec’s new intensive care ventilator for adult and paediatric patients. Aeolus is a microprocessor-controlled driven ventilator intended to provide continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for the care of patients who require mechanical ventilation. Aeolus is a powerful ventilator, capable of delivering flow rates up to 180 L/min, guaranteeing the highest precision ventilation over an extensive set of ventilation modes, as well as in non-invasive ventilation. Volume-controlled ventilation can provide a tidal volume as low as 20 ml, PRVC as low as 5 ml. Aeolus comes with an ergonomic trolley and with an 18.5” capacitive full-colour touch screen display which provides maximum flexibility to different care set-ups. Its unique PureTouch® user interface allows you to adjust all ventilation parameters and choose out of 7 waveforms like pressure, flow, volume, P-V loop, F-V loop, CO 2 and O2 with a touch of a finger.

A wide range of ventilation modes supports all types of patients: (S)CMV-PC, SIMV-PC, PRVC, Bi- Level/APRV, (S)CMV-VC, SIMV-VC and CPAP/PSV. The following parameters can be adjust2e,d : FIO PINSP, PEEP, RR, I:E, trigger, rise time, tube compensation, sigShU,P PPORT, TV, Insp. trigger, Exp. trigger, sensitivity, flow. Several steps of operation are supported with graphical simulations that help physicians to assess settings. In addition, the Tube Compensation allows continuous compensation for the work of breathing caused by the endotracheal tube. A comprehensive list of measured values is displayedE: X TP, VTVEXP SPONT, TVEXP MAND, TVINSP, MVEXP, MVEXP SPONT, MVINSP, PPEAK, PEEP, PPLATEAU, PMEAN, PMIN , RRTOTAL, RRSPONT, FIO2 , FLOWPEAK I/E and VLEAK. The real-time simultaneous waveforms, loops, trends and measured values provide a complete overview of the current ventilation situation and can be configured as required. A complete logbook of events, alarms and ventilation parameters can also be displayed and easily exported via USB.

Aeolus offers precise volume monitoring and responsive trigger reaction. Its inspiratory flows up to 150 L/min, enabling optimal non-invasive ventilation with smart leakage compensation. Optional the Aeolus comprises a mesh-type nebuliser and bronchial suction with automatic oxygenation, as well as a multitude of support functions such as: software for non-invasive monitoring of ETCO2, a non-expirable paramagnetic2 Osensor and continuous oxygen concentration monitoring. After switching on the Aeolus, the physician can choose between default settings of ventilation parameters and alarms limits or adjust them based on patient weight and their experience. Ventilation modes and settings can also be configured to meet the physician’s daily demands. Aeolus’ alarm system classifies all alarms according to clinically relevant priorities and shows a straightforward message to inform the user.
