Pneupac VR1 Ventilator

The Pneupac VR1® Automatic Resuscitator is designed for caregivers wherever breathing failure emergencies occur: in hospitals, industrial or commercial settings, transport situations, or remote locations. The unit’s simplicity, portability, and safety make it the ideal choice for emergency resuscitation. A single control for setting the frequency and tidal volume, including a clickstop setting at the recommended adult position, enables rapid set-up in demanding circumstances. Auto/manual controls, a patient demand system, MR compatibility, and other features provide the means to manage respiratory emergencies.
