DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCING THE IC-2A VENTILATOR

The IC-2A Ventilator (Figure 1-1) is a highly sophisticated, precision, pneumatic, life
support device, built to rigid specifications.
The IC-2A Ventilator is designed for respiratory support of adult patients both in a
health-care facility and during transport. It can be operated within volume or pressure
limits and has a wide range of inspiratory/expiratory time ratios (I/E). Its compact
lightweight design permits hand-carrying or attachment to a stand thus facilitating
uninterrupted support during transport.
The IC-2A Ventilator is compatible with masks and endotracheal and tracheotomy
tubes. It is gas-powered using either a portable pressurized tank or wall outlet providing
50 psi oxygen or air.
constantly self-purging case. Miniature pneumatic logic control elements produce high
reliability due to negligible frictional wear.
standard accessories: humidifier, oxygen blender, oxygen analyzer, pressure alarm
and patient circuit.
