Each model of the ZOLL 731 Series of Ventilators is indicated for use in the management of infant through adult patients weighing greater than or equal to 5 kg with acute or chronic respiratory failure or during resuscitation by providing continuous positive-pressure ventilation. ZOLL Ventilators are appropriate for use in hospitals, outside the hospital, during transport and in severe environments where they may be exposed to rain, dust, rough handling, and extremes in temperature and humidity. With an appropriate third-party filter in place, they may be operated in environments where chemical and/or biological toxins are present. When marked with an "MRI conditional" label, ZOLL Ventilators are suitable for use in an MRI environment with appropriate precautions. ZOLL Ventilators are intended for use by skilled care providers with knowledge of mechanical ventilation, emergency medical services (EMS) personnel with a basic knowledge of mechanical ventilation, and by first responders under the direction of skilled medical care providers
The ZOLL Ventilator pulse oximeter with Masimo SET technology is intended for use for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), and pulse rate. The pulse SpO2 oximeter and accessories are indicated for use on adult and pediatric patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, or in mobile environments.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
