As a therapist with over 20 years in the field I would encourage you to reconsider your choice of ventilator. I have worked with everything from the MA-1 to the 7200 to the Servo i and would encourage you to look at the i. The servo can do anyhting you would ever need a vent to do and our clinical apps specialist has been a great help with inservices to staff and MD's.

I have not used the Inspiration Ventilator but would encourage you to buy it. Having been in the ventilator business for 17 years and having worked with a few ventilator companies, I believe the Inspiration is designed properly and should work well for a long time. I have not heard any bad news about reliability and service. The organization is made up of veteran ventilator people with a lot of experience with ventilator design, service, and clinical applications. The ventilator uses a psol with an active exhalation valve which will provide the flexibility and durability to make it a good investment. It appears to have the capabilities of a Servo, PB 840, or Draeger ventilator. The drawback is the lack of people using the ventilator and presence in the market. You will need to make sure that you have the support that you need in your local market. My biggest concern for you would be representation and response to your needs.

I hope this helps and I wish you the best. If you have any questions you may email me at mcleanbr@msn.com.

Check out the following website so as to talk to the eVent people directly, that's what I did and I was very impressed. I know they have representation within India and they are very customer focused.

hope this helps

this vent is not ready

there are too many things that still don't have 5/10 K fda relaese.

I use Drager and as far as performance nothing comes close.

Servo i is a good vent but can't fill the shoes of a Evita.

Who owns servo ventilation now? You have lost the Seimens part, the new owner has never even been in the business of ventilation.

I am a Respiratory therapist; started in 1978. Some important points to make regarding the Servo i related to the comment that it does everything you's want? 1)Take a look at the recent abstracts from the AARC specifically related to function of the servo i and heliox. 2)The other problem I have had with using the servo i is its limited flow triggering range making Non Invasive Ventilation impossible. I have not seen these issues with the Inspiration. 3) The European US consensus congress on ARDS stated that employing small tidal volumes may be beneficial to these patient types, but if you follow this regime you should consider using Sighs - The Servo i does not have resonable and user configurable sigh function and the sigh function is only volume based. The previous mentioned body has stated that pressure ventilation (including SIGHS)is more physiologic. The Inspiration is the only ventilator with a complete user configurability and Pressure or volume based sighs. So if your practice is quite limited and you want to spend way more money for less function then it(Servoi) is probably ok for you.

in response to your question about flow triggering the Servo i. When the trigger sensitivity is set above 0 (green and red area on the bar), flow triggering is set, i.e. the amount of bias flow that the patient has to inhale to trigger a new breath. The sensitivity can be set from 100% of the bias flow (left), to 0% of the bias flw (right). The factory default is 50% for both the adult (2 l/m) and the infant (.5 l/m). The triggering can be set to any level needed for patient comfort and will allow the patient to cycle the vent easily if properly set. As for using sighs when ventilating patients, that is something of the past. If a patient is ventilated with the proper Vt there is no need for sighs.

We did look at this ventilator. We eliminated the inspiration ventilator from our evaluation early on in the process. The reasons that we iliminate it were. 1 no track record, no company reputation. They say they have engineering experience, but there is no clinical reputation yet. 2. There are many options not yet approved, so it is not a full platform. This lends me to question if it is built ruboslty enough to handle future enhancements? I lived through the PB840 neomode problems, that was a nightmare and if they are the same engineers that boast about you may have issues.
I don't think this is a ventilator that is ready for ICU it may be ready for a subacute facility? I would probably look at it again in a couple of years to see how they progressed, but for right now the way the platforms stands it just not a high end ventilator that we were looking for.

Hi Ventguy,

Are you sure you about the eVent Inspiration not having approved options and when you say approved do you mean FDA or International? It's my understanding from dealings we have had with eVent that the product is FDA approved and the same goes for all the options. Maybe you are talking about the original Inspiration that was launched for the International market back in 2001. Also what is the link between the 840 neo mode debacle and eVent,I thought that recall was down to Tyco downsizing how is eVent involved with this?

Confused
