Medical breathing support devices currently utilise “open-circuit” designs that vent significant amounts of valuable oxygen within the exhaled air-mix into the surrounding atmosphere. Such systems pose exposure risk when the exhaled air-mix contains infectious agents.
Filtered exhaled air-mix can only reduce virus material when contained in airway surface fluid droplets or larger aerosol particles.
The Iso-Vent is a novel “closed-circuit” medical respiratory support device. It eliminates CO2 and preserves oxygen while ensuring safe breathing support and will satisfy UK, EU and other Medical Device Regulation Classifications.
Applications:
1 Infectious patient isolation
– The Iso-Vent closed-circuit design isolates all infectious material generated by the user within the breathing cycle.
2 Oxygen conservation
– An Iso-Vent utilises all of the oxygen delivered with no wastage. Expired oxygen is recycled within the closed-circuit system
3 Precision delivery of FiO2 and other gases
– An Iso-Vent delivers between 0.21 to 0.99 FiO2 to a conscious user
4 Portability
– Most respiratory support devices require external oxygen cylinders or fixed supply lines
– The Iso-Vent is contained in a portable backpack
5 Oxygen hazard in confined spaces
– Multiple open-circuit ventilators within confined spaces can release over 1 cu.m. of oxygen per hour
– The Iso-Vent releases ZERO OXYGEN to the surrounding atmosphere
6 Device design considerations
– Alternative mask fit for comfort and security
– SpO2 feedback
– Location and filter types
– Aerosols can contain infective material. An Iso-Vent avoids risk associated with bi-directional flow filtration
Impact
The Iso-Vent adds a new tool to the clinicians’ toolbox, saving innumerable lives and offering cost-effective breathing therapy treatments for patients with, for example fibrosis and offering cost-effective respiratory support for people with acute and chronic lung diseases such as COVID pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis.
