Intended Use

The TBird VELA Ventilator is intended to provide continuous or intermittent mechanical ventilatory support for individuals who require mechanical ventilation. The ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified, trained personnel under the direction of a physician. Specifically, the ventilator is applicable for adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 10 kg (22 lbs.), who require the following general types of ventilatory support, as prescribed by an attending physician: - Positive pressure ventilation . - Assist/Control, SIMV, CPAP modes of ventilation . The ventilator is suitable for use in institutional and transport settings. It is not intended for use as an emergency medical transport ventilator.

Device Story

TBird VELA Ventilator is a turbine-based electromechanical system providing mechanical ventilation to pediatric and adult patients (≥10 kg). System comprises flow delivery, exhalation, safety, and inspiratory hold subsystems. Microprocessor-controlled electronics manage graphical user interface, power, and main control functions via pressure transducers and solenoid valves. Device operates on AC power or internal/external batteries. Clinicians use touchscreen/SVGA interface to set ventilation modes (e.g., PRVC/Vsync, APRV/BiPhasic, NPPV, Machine Volume, leak compensation). Output provides respiratory support; clinicians monitor patient status via interface to adjust therapy. Benefits include advanced ventilation modes and portability for non-emergency transport.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing verified that the TBird VELA Ventilator meets its performance requirements and is substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices.

Technological Characteristics

Turbine gas delivery system; microprocessor-controlled electromechanical system. Subsystems: flow delivery, exhalation, safety, inspiratory hold. Electronics: SVGA/touchscreen interface, pressure transducers, A/D and D/A converters, solenoid valves, watchdog/hardware fault monitors. Power: AC, internal battery, external battery pack. Connectivity: Standalone. Software: Microprocessor-based control.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 10 kg (22 lbs.) requiring continuous or intermittent mechanical ventilatory support (positive pressure, Assist/Control, SIMV, CPAP) in institutional or transport settings. Not for emergency medical transport.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.
