The 980 neonatal ventilator is designed specifically to address the challenges of safe and effective neonatal ventilation. Every Puritan Bennett 980 ventilator features the Leak Sync software, which automatically detects and compensates for fluctuating leak sizes. This capability results in a decreased risk of trigger asynchronies and more reliable displayed volume, helping you keep babies at a more desirable work of breathing.
Screen Configurability
- Several configuration options enable you to see as little or as much information as you need
- Patient data in the top banner may be configured to the patient need or to match your workflow document. Additional patient data can be accessed by scrolling right to left in the upper right corner. Patient data cells may be left blank to reduce the amount of visible patient data
Unique Ventilation Assurance Feature
- In the event of certain system failures, the ventilator will continue to deliver ventilatory support as close to the preset settings as feasible. The ventilation assurance feature is unique to the Puritan Bennett 980 ventilator and may help improve safety for ventilated patients in the event of certain system failures
Stand-By Mode
- Stand-by mode pauses ventilation and preserves settings when the patient is disconnected; auto-detects patient upon reconnection; and automatically resumes ventilation without the need to push additional buttons
Status Display
- There is an additional screen located on the breath delivery unit (BDU) that provides a redundant check of ventilator operation
Hot Swappable Batteries
- The Puritan Bennett 980 ventilator houses up to two batteries (up to four with a compressor installed)
- Batteries may be changed or swapped out without having to power down the ventilator and interrupt patient ventilation
Digital Communication Board
- The digital communication board provides multiple USB ports for connections to external drives and an HDMI output port that can be used to project the touch screen externally
Connecting to EMR System
- The Puritan Bennett 980 ventilator has several options for connecting to external data systems
Proximal Flow Sensor
- The proximal flow sensor measures flow, pressure, and tidal volume right at the patient wye in neonate applications
Synchrony Tools
- Advanced synchrony tools help clinicians set the ventilator to adapt to their patients' unique needs and help provide the appropriate level of support throughout the breath. Learn more about our unique synchrony tools from Medtronic for Puritan Bennett ventilators
