Evita 4 is a time cycled, constant volume, long term, intensive care ventilator for adults and children with a body weight of at least 3 kg. Intended Environment for the device: hospital use inner clinical transport
Device Story
Evita 4 is a microprocessor-controlled, time-cycled, constant-volume intensive care ventilator. It delivers gas via a high-pressure servo valve system. The device supports multiple ventilation modes including CMV/assist, SIMV, MMV, SB, CPAP, ASB/PSV, PCV+, APRV, Apnea Ventilation, and ILV. It is intended for use in hospital settings and during inner-clinical transport by trained clinicians. The device monitors patient respiratory parameters and displays curves and values to assist healthcare providers in managing patient ventilation. It provides features such as AutoFlow, leak compensation, and nebulization to support patient respiratory needs. The software version 3.0 integrates additional functions previously found in the Evita 2 dura, such as inspiration hold and pediatric nebulization, to enhance clinical utility.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Microprocessor-controlled, time-cycled, constant-volume ventilator. Features high-pressure servo valve gas delivery. Software version 3.0. Supports multiple ventilation modes (CMV, SIMV, MMV, CPAP, etc.). Designed for hospital and clinical transport use. Connectivity and specific material standards not detailed.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults and children with a body weight of at least 3 kg requiring long-term intensive care ventilation.
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.
