The PL V Continuum ventilator is a microprocessor controlled, compressorbased, mechanical ventilator. It is intended to control or assist breathing by delivering room air to the patient. PL V Continuum utilizes an internal compressor to generate compressed air for delivery to the patient. Breath delivery is controlled by software algorithms. The user interface on PL V Continuum has a membrane keypad with indicator Light Emitting Diodes (LED) for the selection and acceptance of patient settings and for the display of alarm conditions. PL V Continuum is capable of providing the following types of ventilatory support: || . Positive Pressure Ventilation, delivered either invasively (via endotracheal or tracheostomy tube) or non-invasively (via mask or mouthpiece). || . Assist/Control, Spontaneous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CP AP) modes of ventilation. || . Volume-Controlled (VC). Available in AlC and SIMV. || . Pressure-Controlled (PC). Available in AlC and SIMV. || . Pressure Support (PS). Available in SIMV and SPONT.
