Covidien, a leading global supplier of healthcare products, announced the U.S. launch of the Puritan Bennett 540™ portable ventilator.

The quiet, lightweight ventilator runs on a lithium-ion battery that provides up to 11 hours (depending on settings and other factors) of power and features a real-time battery life indicator that is a significant technological advancement. The indicator displays remaining battery life in hours and minutes, instead of as a percentage of charge, eliminating guesswork about when the ventilator needs to be connected to a power source for recharging.

The portability, long battery life and ease of use of the Puritan Bennett 540 ventilator enables a ventilator-dependent patient to pursue daily activities with confidence and peace of mind, ultimately enhancing quality of life.

At 9.9 pounds, the Puritan Bennett 540 ventilator is compact and light. It comes with a dual bag, making it easy to carry by hand and in a backpack, or to attach to a wheelchair. A car charger and an external battery are also available for the unit, so the ventilator can be charged or used during road travel.

The ventilator also features a quick and reactive flow trigger for patient comfort, minimizing the work of breathing, with the added benefit of the patient being able to set PEEP (positive end expiratory pressure).

The Puritan Bennett 540 ventilator can be used by patients of all ages -- adults, children and infants as small as 11 pounds.

In addition to intra-hospital transport, the device is perfect for use in long-term care facilities, as well as in long-term home care.
