pNeuton -Model NEO -Mini Ventilator

MRI Compatible

The pNeuton mini NEO is MRI compatible allowing for image production with no artifact. The
ventilator can be placed right next to the MRI magnet with no Gauss line restriction, plus a remote alarm can be added to enhance patient safety.

The only truly fully pneumatic, portable ventilator for neonates with CPAP, oxygen mixing and patient alarms. The mini NEO is a small, lightweight ventilator with precise timing and pressure controls designed for use on patients from 400 grams to 20 kilograms.

With a broad range of clinical applications, the mini NEO provides immediate life support for at-risk deliveries, MRI and other radiology suites, transport and ventilation need – short or long term, even tandem therapy with high-frequency jet ventilation.

Benefits for the Patient

• One ventilator for transport and MRI/diagnostic procedures provides stability and safety with no change in patient circuit required
• Switch from CPAP nasal prongs/face mask to invasive ventilation seamlessly and without interruption
• A choice of continuous flow settings to provide the right ventilation for the size of your patient with the least amount of expiratory flow resistance
• Adjustable oxygen delivery from 21% to 100% to precisely match patient oxygen requirements

Benefits for the Healthcare Provider

• Night visible manometer to monitor patient pressure and effort
• Calibrated controls for precise and easy operation
• MRI conditional up to 3 T – with no gauss line magnet separation restrictions and an
  optional remote alarm output for the control room
• Patient disconnect and high-pressure alarms that work during non-invasive and
  invasive ventilation
• Rugged and tested to meet airworthiness standards
• Oxygen/air powered – no electrical connection or batteries

Benefits for your Budget

• Lightweight and portable with mounting bracket to any patient care incubator/bed
• Switch from invasive ventilatory support to non-invasive with just a simple change of
  the patient interface
• No batteries or electronics decrease preventative maintenance costs
• Minimal oxygen consumption to maximize transport times
