The VORTRAN® APM-Plus is a multiple-patient-use device intended to monitor a positive-pressure device that connects to an adult or pediatric patient ≥ 10 kg. The device alarms when the conditions (pressure and/or rate, as applicable) are outside of the user selected high and low alarm limits. In PAP Mode, it displays only real-time breathing circuit pressure; in Resuscitator Mode, it displays ventilation parameters in addition to the pressure information. It may be used with positive pressure devices which do not include pressure measurement capabilities, e.g. resuscitation bags, automatic resuscitators, and CPAP, or as an independent backup pressure monitor for devices with pressure measurement capability. The device is designed to be portable and can be used in stationary or portable situations in hospitals and sub-acute institutions. For professional use only.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
