MythoVent2 Ventilator

The MythoVent2 offers the first system worldwide that integrates a state of the art ventilator and a comprehensive vital signs monitoring.

The complete respiratory monitoring of the MythoVent, including breath frequency, capnometry and exspiratory oxymetry is enlarged at the MythoVent2 by the vital signs monitoring Das umfassende atemmechanische Monitoring des MythoVent, inklusive Atemfrequenz, Capnometrie und exspiratorischer Oxymetrie, wird im MythoVent2 um die Basisfunktionen des Vitalparameter-Monitorings erweitert:

• 3- or 5-lead ECG
• Arrhythmia
• ST-Analysis
• 2 × Invasive blood pressure
• Non-invasive blood pressure
• Pulsoxymetrie (SPO₂)
• 2 x Temperature

If the MythoVent2 is used as a vital signs monitor solely all vital parameters can be displayed due to the free screen configuration.

The entire alarm monitoring of all vital parameters is strictly separated from the ventilation parameters and has a separate setup menu. The alarm limits for the vital parameters may be set manually or automatically by the system.

When using the ventilator system and the vital signs monitoring of the MythoVent2 at the same time the displayed parameters can be combined in any way.

Modern ventilation modes

The system provides all modern ventilation modes and gives the doctor the highest flexibility in setting the parameters to adjust the ventilation to the exact needs of the patient.

To these settings belong the pressure support of the spontaneous breath and the fine tunable trigger for the mandatory breath with both pressure- and modern flow-triggering.

The fast and safe weaning of the patient from the mechanical ventilation is the main challenge for the intensive care medicine today. The MythoVent is designed to support and stabilize the spontaneous breath of the patient.

Optional adaptive cuff pressure control

Exceptional innovative is the intelligent cuff pressure control. The cuff pressure is adjusted automatically as an offset to the respiratory and PEEP pressure and provides a save closing pressure in the trachea. The cuff pressure curve is displayed as an overlay to the respiratory pressure curve.

Use of single- and dual-limb-system

The only part of the device that has to be cleaned, sterilized and disinfected is the aluminum-cassette. It can be removed fast and easy by a simple press of a button. Since the cassette consists of metal it is almost everlasting - even in permanent clinical use.

Through a simple change of the cassette, the MythoVent can be used with coaxial- as well as dual-limb breathing system with no problem.

Integrated intelligent drug-nebulizer

Another feature is the integrated pneumatic control unit for a drug nebulizer. The system MythoVent drives the nebulizer during the first 75 percent of the inspiratory phase. It is ensured that the drugs always reach the patient in the most effective way and the filter systems of the breathing circuit are kept free.

Integrated high resolution color display

The ventilator MythoVent offers a high resolution 6 channel 10.4“ LCD color display. It allows at the same time the display of up to 8 dynamic curves and 12 numeric fields for the display of ventilation parameters.

The display may be individually configured to the needs of the user by free arrangement and choice of color for the displayed parameters and measured curves.

Optional external display

The MythoVent and MythoVent2 have an optional port for connecting an additional monitor. The content of the internal display is mirrored on a large-sized TFT-screen, so that the curves and values can be read clearly even from greater distance.

Easy and fast alarm-limit-adaptation

Alarm limits for ventilation parameters may be set manually or automatically by the system. The trend graphic of the ventilation parameters during the last half hour helps to set the upper and lower limits easy and gradient adaptive.

Individual configurations

Individual settings — screen setup, alarm limits, ventilation- and monitoring-settings — can be stored one by one or all together as individual configurations and are then available every time.

Optional patient-side CO₂- and O₂-measuring

The exspiratory concentration is measured via a sample line connected to the front of the device. For that purpose a small sample volume is permanently extracted near the patient directly at the HME filter and guided to the device.

Leightweight design

Less weight and small dimensions allow highest flexibility in patient handling, mounting systems and in-house transportation.

Update/Upgrade with standart RS232 service interface

To remain up to date the MythoVent comes with a standart RS232 service interface. With this interface it is easily possible to upgrade the firmware and get new features.
