Getinge has secured approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its new mechanical ventilator, Servo-air Lite.
The company has developed a new turbine-driven ventilator for non-invasive ventilation.
The new ventilator provides ICU-level ventilation just like all other Servo ventilators and is aimed at spontaneously breathing patients who require enhanced breathing support.
It has an advanced turbine and a durable battery backup, it can function independently without relying on wall gas and is also suitable for intrahospital transportation.
Furthermore, the ventilator features embedded workflows, high-flow therapy support and the option to monitor CO₂, as well as tools to support escalating the therapy if necessary.
Getinge acute care therapies president Elin Frostehav said: “We are happy to broaden our ventilator product offering for the US market.
