PRODUCT

PVA, PREVENT is an FDA-authorized emergency ventilator designed to treat patients suffering from COVID-19 respiratory failure. This motorized device automatically compresses a resuscitator bag to provide air to the lungs of a COVID-19 patient, eliminating the human error and fatigue that results from manual actuation. PREVENT is indicated for emergency resuscitation with appropriate patient monitoring on adult patients that require mechanical respiratory support.

Recall Number: Z-2805-2020

REASON
