SensorMedics high-frequency oscillatory ventilator
The SensorMedics High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilator is a patented mechanical ventilator by Cardinal Health[1]. The 3100A model was approved for use in the United States by the FDA in 1991 for neonatal application for the treatment of all forms of respiratory failure; then subsequently approved in 1995 for Pediatric Application, with no upper “weight limit”, for treating selected patients failing conventional ventilation. The High-frequency oscillatory ventilator
3100A
The 3100A model is used for infants and children under 35 kilograms (<35kg)[2].
3100B
The 3100B model is used for all other people greater than 35 kilograms (>35kg)[2].
Problems
Since neither the 3100A or the 3100B measure actual tidal volumes, it is impossible to wean with precision[3]; some clinicians find this to be problematic in the application of oscillatory ventilation[3].
