Mallinckrodt's
Model 840, their latest Infant-to-Adult Ventilator, has a state-of-the-art
Tube Compensation option. This tube compensation automatically adjusts pressure
support to help overcome the pressure drop related to resistance in the artificial
airway (ET tube), thereby decreasing the patient's work of breathing. The Neonatal
option for the 840 is projected for release in the Spring, and work is being completed
for use with very premature infants. (Photo: Kevin Plihal, Product Manager)
