Nippy S+ Positive Pressure Ventilator

The Nippy S+ is a pressure controlled, bi-level ventilator. It compresses ambient air and delivers it to the patient through a close fitting nasal mask. The output pressure, can be adjusted by controls on the fascia panel. The Pressure, and all settings are displayed on a colour LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) screen.

The screen can be set to dim after a pre-set time (accessed via the user preferencesin the main menu). To restore the display, press any button once . The basic ventilator settings can be achieved using the two buttons to the left of the display. The three buttons to the right of the display provide access to more advanced features and adjustments (accessed via a menu). For greater safety and convenience the Nippy S+ may be equipped with an internal battery. The ventilator is capable of recharging both the internal battery and an external battery when running from the mains electrical supply.
 

Mode of Ventilation

Pressure Support: IPAP (Inspiratory positive airway pressure) and EPAP (Expiratory positive airway pressure) are set by the physician. The ventilator augments the patient’s spontaneous breathing.
