Like its predecessor, the new flexiVent is at its core a computer-controlled precision piston pump that can intersperse mechanical ventilation with a variety of volume and pressure controlled maneouvres to obtain accurate, reproducible measurement of respiratory mechanics. Featuring improved accuracy, extended measurement capabilities, a new valve configuration and quiet operation, the new, more integrated design offers an extended range of applications with enhanced efficiency and ease of use.
